With all such difficulties and hurdles he went on to become a CEO of a well known company called Paytm, he is non-other than Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder of Paytm and One97 Communications Limited.

After the graduation, in 1997 Sharma created a website called indiasite.net which was sold after 2 years for $1Million. This encouraged him to start One97 communications (Paytm’s parent company), which offered news, cricket scores, ringtones, jokes and exam results. Later on in 2010, he created Paytm, an online recharge, bill payment and e-commerce website that is used by most of the internet users.
