One business idea can transform your lifestyle and bring out the entrepreneur in you. But if you were born into a middle-class, Indian family, you will need much more than just an idea to become an entrepreneur.
In today's episode of Inside India, Ben Hayward brings to you the story of one of India's internet pioneers, Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Info Edge. Sanjeev now owns a portfolio of companies including India's largest job portal Naukri.com, Matrimony website Jeevansathi.com, real estate classifieds platform 99acres.com, and educational website Shiksha.com. What started as a small idea back in 1997, when he observed colleagues trawling through the office copy of Business India for job ads, Sanjeev has an uncanny ability to observe customer needs and turn unsolved problems into powerful business ideas. He has an in-depth understanding of the Indian consumer and their ever-growing thirst for doing things online, be it ordering a pizza or finding your house or even your spouse. Join us as we have a conversation with one of India's most successful entrepreneurs and learn what it takes to build an internet business in Asia's fastest growing digital economy.
