Rahul Narvekar
Rahul Narvekar, the founder of IndianRoots, has one of India's most inspiring rags-to-riches stories. In his early days, he had to work as a ward boy, a delivery boy, give tuitions, and take up many other small jobs just to fund his own education. Although Rahul was among the brilliant students in college, he kept juggling between institutions because he didn't have enough money to pay his fees. Despite the hardships, he completed his bachelor's degree and enrolled in a business entrepreneurship course. After completing college, he worked for TSN and became a part of Asia's first music channel — Oxygen , though it could not survive. He then co-founded fashionandyou.com, a successful eCommerce store, but had to leave it due to personal issues.
