The Indian Startup Superstars


Bangalore: “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain.

Some people attribute success to the achievement of a goal but Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” In the pursuit of stability, most of us forget many aspirations we had that drove us to do many crazy things as a child.  We grow up and eventually go where life leads us, to a cubicle with a computer or an office with a table and an intercom but here are 12 Indian entrepreneurs who didn’t stand by and watch as their aspirations drifted away. They caught hold of opportunity and took flight with nothing more than a feather of an idea.

#12 Alok Kejriwal:

Games2win is one of the top 20 online gaming businesses in the world. It was started by Alok Kejriwal and Mahesh Khambadkone. The company is headquartered in Mumbai.

Alok is a serial entrepreneur whose basic approach is to start new ideas and to partner with the best people to make it a success.

In his Linkedin profile Alok writes, ‘Try & speak to a new person every day. Just in a year, you will have 365 new perspectives. That will embellish you beautifully.’

Imraan Surve, Vice President Marketing: ZOD!, Key Accounts, writes, “Alok is from the rare breed that understand their customer's business and add value to it from their own organizations.”
