As part of your college e-cell what are you doing?
We have been doing a whole lot of entrepreneurship activities, events and exercises just to give people in college the awareness about entrepreneurship. But now we’re moving into a totally new dimension; we’re actually taking on projects for the students.
Do you plan to start a company some day?
Three friends and I are looking to start something by this April. It’s a customs garage – we love cars! It’s a passion, plus there’s an unbelievable market in it right now. We’ve got potential customers already lined up so we know that this will work.
What’s your biggest concern about India?
For me the biggest issue and concern as an entrepreneur is the infrastructure, and the most exciting thing I see is the fact that the infrastructure issue is finally being given attention to.
Your biggest dream for your future?
My dream is be on top of the world with whatever I am doing. I want to be a serial entrepreneur; take over a certain market and then shift to another market totally different.
What does E Week mean to you? What should E Week achieve?
EWeek is going to be one of the things that back me up in my life, like a filing cabinet with 10 to 15 of my life’s most brilliant experiences stacked there. And on top of that I have written the belief: “I can do whatever I want.”
