A Laptop, ₹15,000, and a Dream In 2010, a 23-year-old G.P. Sharma sat in a small room in New Delhi with one laptop, ₹15,000 in savings, and a vision. With no business lineage or network to fall back on, he founded DoesInfotech Solutions — a venture built on the belief that the internet would become the great equalizer for businesses. At a time when digital marketing in India was still finding its feet, Sharma decided to bridge the gap for small and medium enterprises struggling to gain visibility online. Spotting the Opportunity Others Missed Back then, while large corporations were…

Great businesses often start with a big investment, a detailed plan, and a carefully calculated market entry. But sometimes, they start with nothing more than a moment of clarity in the middle of a crisis. That’s exactly how Mr. Sandeep Soni, founder and director of Zensys Chemicals, went from seeing his dealership business shut down in the pandemic to building one of India’s fastest-growing cleaning chemical brands. An Entrepreneur in the Making Even during his MBA days, Sandeep had a dream — to run his own industry. After graduating in 2012, he joined a chemical company in Pune as an…

Walk into a space by Contours — The Design Co. (CTDC), and you’ll feel it before you see it. The quiet harmony. The deliberate play of light and shadow. The textures that almost insist you reach out and touch them. Everything seems inevitable, as if it could only ever have been designed this way. Founded in the early 2010s by Anand Mehta and Prashant Halankar, CTDC has become an award-winning studio celebrated for work that balances beauty, function, and emotion.

Some careers are built step by step. Others take a leap. For Dudekula Babu, the leap came after 15 years in the IT corridors of IBM, HCL, and Verizon, where he managed complex projects for domestic and international clients. His corporate career was thriving, but deep down, he felt a pull toward something more — something that allowed him to create solutions without the constraints of hierarchy and job descriptions. That “something” took shape in 2014 with the birth of Wilco Solutions. Choosing the healthcare sector was a deliberate decision. In a country where technology was transforming industries at breakneck…

In a sunlit classroom in Bangalore, a quiet transformation is taking place. Here, a Sanskrit shloka meets a line of French poetry. An English debate flows into a Kannada conversation. A Hindi story unfolds beside a grammar exercise. This isn’t coincidence—it’s the signature rhythm of LIB Education, where languages come alive, and learners find their voice. Founded in May 2023 by the educator–strategist duo Dr. Kakali Roy Chowdhury and Mr. Rishin Roy Chowdhury, LIB began with ₹1 lakh of self-funded capital and a daring belief: that language is more than an academic requirement—it’s a life skill, a confidence builder, and…

In every industry, there are professionals who follow the standard path — and then there are those who rewrite the rules. Dr. Prateek Vyas, founder of Bodyreset in Mumbai, belongs to the second category. In just over a decade, he has built a physiotherapy practice that is as much about transformation as it is about treatment, earning the trust of celebrities, athletes, and everyday people who refuse to let pain dictate their lives. The story begins in 2012, with a 23-year-old graduate and a dream far bigger than his circumstances. Starting without capital, without a clinic, and without the comfort…

Every city has its skyline, but behind each building lies a story — a story of vision, determination, and relentless hard work. For Aditya Kumawat, founder of Aditya Construction, that story began not in a corporate boardroom or an engineering college, but in the quiet, determined mind of a young man who believed that housing could be both modern and accessible. Before Aditya entered the construction world, his path seemed far removed from the brick-and-mortar reality he commands today. With a background in computer applications, his professional journey could have easily followed the well-trodden road of IT careers. But Aditya…

In an era where disruption is no longer the exception but the rule, staying competitive requires more than just adapting — it demands anticipating the future. Anupam Anand, Vice President and AI & Automation Business Leader, embodies this mindset.

His work has redefined how organizations streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and accelerate decision-making, proving that AI and automation are not just trends but enduring pillars of success. From Strategy to Scalable Impact For Anupam, transformation is not about isolated…

Every success story begins with a moment of choice. For Mahesh N S, that moment came in the middle of a health crisis. At 34, Mahesh’s career in pharmacovigilance was thriving. But his body was telling a different story. Persistent gastritis, endless medication cycles, temporary relief followed by more pain—it felt like a treadmill he couldn’t get off. “I realized I was managing illness, not building health,” he says. That one insight changed everything. When the Fight Became Personal Mahesh decided to stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes. He dived deep into nutrition science, functional medicine, and lifestyle…
