How did I end up becoming an Entrepreneur?

I grew up in a small town near Pune called Daund. My father was the only Doctor of the town and had become a larger than life figure in the town because of his philanthropy. As a child I was extremely shy with low self-worth and had great fear of authority. I was a loner and hardly had any friends I could connect with.

I had one hobby that occupied all my waking hours as a child-reading fairy tales. I loved those vividly coloured books and would get lost in the world of justly Kings and beautiful Princesses and the poor boy who would in the end win the hand of a beautiful princess. It was always the victory of good over evil.

I had a world of my own, which I could create and change and modify, and make it colorful, make it smell beautifully, and imagine the princess as the most ethereal creature on earth. This is where my journey in entrepreneurship began-as a dreamer. To dream is so beautiful and limitless.

I do think all entrepreneurs have the power to dream and have vivid pictures of what they dream about. How many of you out there who have started their own ventures have started out like me? Or was it the opportunity that propelled you?
