How did the entrepreneurial bug bite you?
It was clear in my mind from the first day, that I have to do something different, from my third year of college , i had started working in MLM company to earn from myself, and earned & learned well. It was clear, that i have to pursue my dreams in business world, though i got selected for the job in Power plant from campus, i did it for two years, and In 2014 we have launched our startup Busykart.com as a marketplace model, failed, again tried, again failed and diversified to grocery segment and finally got some speed from Oct. 2015
