Believe in your dream and work hard to achieve your goals!

Since the IT boom in the 90s, India has produced some of the best engineers and engineers turned entrepreneurs who have made a mark for our nation on the world stage.

One such great Engineer is Vijay Shekhar Sharma, who, with his entrepreneurial spirit, made it big in the world and revolutionized his industry. Vijay is an alumnus of the Delhi College of Engineering. He comes from a modest background and faced a lot of difficulties during his early years. His resilience and tenacity made him start One97, the company behind the brand Paytm. Vijay’s hard work and his efforts in building India’s biggest fintech company finally paid off. Today Paytm has become so well-known that even Warren Buffet has invested in the company. Paytm’s ₹18,300 crores initial public offering (IPO) was oversubscribed 1.89 times in what was said to be India’s biggest share sale.

Sachin Bansal became the poster boy who transformed the e-commerce landscape of India. Sachin met Binny Bansal at IIT Delhi when they were students, and they later worked at Amazon together. E-commerce in India was in its infancy when Sachin and Binny quit Amazon to start Flipkart. Indians were not comfortable with the concept of online shopping, so this venture was a huge risk. But they believed in their dream and worked hard to achieve their goals. Flipkart has now been acquired by Walmart for a whopping $16 billion, and Sachin is known as the pioneer of the eCommerce industry in India.

Bhavish Aggarwal is a graduate of IIT Bombay. An entrepreneur at heart, he initially worked with Microsoft but quit after two years to start his own travel and tourism business. A bad experience one day while renting a cab made him see the opportunity of starting a cab rental company for people facing similar issues. That’s how he started Ola Cabs – to simply solve a consumer problem – and over time he’s taken the company to even greater heights. Ola has now entered the EV vehicle space as well and is valued at around $5 billion.
