Q: Describe yourself in a few words.
A: Knowledge-seeker, inquisitive, an ambivert. I like to be different – but different in the crowd, not from the crowd.

Q: How do you define success?
A: For me success is a journey not a destination. Success never stops, it is a continuous process. Money is important, but in trying to gain things that can be counted monetarily, I don’t want to loose out on certain things that cannot be counted in money. At the end of the day, I should get sound sleep at night. That’s success for me.

Q: Why do you think you can become the Business Baazigar?
A: I am very confident about my idea. It has got recognition in a B-school contest as well. I didn’t feel the need to make people realize the need for this product, the need was obvious. No one doubted the utility of the product. Business Baazigar should be someone who does not imitate others. He’s not a me-too person. That’s me. I believe in excelling while doing my own thing.

Q: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
A: At 30, I see myself as married. I would probably be in the corporate field, but looking out for entrepreneurial opportunities.
