Take us through your professional journey. What inspired you to take up the leadership role at Techwheels?
I started my first industrial oil refinery at the age of 18 in North India. Our venture adopted new technologies and within a short span of time, we were able to gain 50 percent of the market share in Rajasthan. While pursuing my MBA,
I started telecom retail & distribution of IT Products startup i-Switch. I was able to create platforms for many leading brands like Blackberry, LG, Samsung, Imate & More. Soon enough I came to be known as the Father of Smartphones in North India. By 2014, I entered TATA Motors and with my expertise in automation & digitalization, I became the youngest SIF board member of the company. My biggest takeaway from the telecom industry was the transformation from Feature phone to Smart Phones, i.e., 2G to 3G. I saw a similar potential for change in the automotive industry where EV is taking over IC engines. This transformational opportunity made me invest in Techwheels.
