Shining Stars
Why they sparkle: because they’re driven and determined
By Shreyasi Singh, Rohini Banerjee and Ira Swasti
The end of the year is a good time to count one’s blessings. It’s also the perfect opportunity to craft new plans and aim for a brighter future. The entrepreneurs in this story give us a chance to do both.
Our pick of under-40 entrepreneurs points to an exciting business landscape in the years ahead. Many of them seem set to occupy icon status like Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal of Flipkart who have dominated headlines throughout the year. People are already asking whether they can be India’s Amazon. It must sound fantastical to the two—they’re just 30 and 28 years old after all. It’s tough even to imagine what their learning curve looks like. The other stories in this package are also full of incredible journeys. It’s not everyday that you meet a 32-year-old entrepreneur, like InMobi’s Naveen Tewari, who’s already talking about “how to let go”. It’s a necessary occupational hazard for somebody like him as he heads a global startup across continents, and competes with Google and Apple.
Apart from these tycoons-in-the-making, there are bright lights like Deval Sanghavi and Neera Nundy of Dasra who are leveraging their private equity training to make philanthropy efficient and transform NGOs into institutions. Then there is Inderpreet S. Wadhwa of Azure Power who is making it possible for us to say yes to solar. Their ambitions and ideas are a reminder about all that’s right—and possible in India.
