While flipping The Times of India today on Sunday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see the photo of Anand Chhatpar and a detailed feature about his company Brainreactions. ( Sunday Times, 28th Jan 2007, Page 10 Pune Edition).
I have known Anand for over a year now and have had highly engaging discussions in person, on phone and emails with him on various topics like web2.0, startups, entrepreneurship, innovation, silicon valley culture, ruby on rails etc.
He is certainly very wise for his age and has accomplished a lot, no wonder he was named in the Top 25 Entrepreneurs under age 25 by BusinessWeek and featured on CNBC's Young Turks program.
We were also fortunate to have him speak at ITVidya's first event on Technopreneurship, where he not only entertained the audience, but also gave impressive insights on starting and scaling business with zero capital. He has successfully built quite a few businesses now by way of bootstrapping.
In our last interaction, he mentioned that he would like to motivate lot of young entrepreneurs and if necessary give them seed funding for deserving ideas.
Well done Anand, you are certainly a role model to what young minds can achieve.
Do share some of your dreams with our community here, we would certainly like to contribute such that you realize them faster.
Also share if you have any opportunities to offer to our network of members here at ITVidya.com
