#8 Phanindra Sama:
Phanindra Sama is the founder of Redbus, the leading online portal in ticket bookings for inter-city bus travel. Phanindra Sama is a high impact entrepreneur and Business world placed him as one of the top 5 most promising entrepreneurs in the country. His story is truly inspiring and one that spurs people to take action. He got this idea from frustration as he was unable to visit his family during the diwali festival as none of the bus tickets were available and he decided to take it upon himself to build a portal which did just that – book bus tickets. Today it is the leader in this area.
