Pushpendra R Pandya

Founder

India's First Crowd Sourced Book Library

Important decision

There are many, I've accepted who I am. It was tough but it finally happened.

Ensuring success

Keep it simple.
Do what keeps you ticking.
Do not freeze because of financial crisis.
Be patient when things go against your will.
Remember, money isn't everything.
Work hard. Think smart. Execute what you promise. One at a time. Don't rush. Believe!

Degree that I recommend

Degree of humanity.
It's the moments that counts above everything.

Raw beauty is my way.
Everyone can't afford high IQs or one of those expensive degrees.

Qualities needed to become a successful leader

Fututistic approach,
listening skills & an ability to communicate effectively.

Influenced by

My middle class parents. My (late) father was my hero.

Thoughts on Education system of our country

Keep interest specific subjects.
We don't need to teach something that they are not interested. Give what they need, keep subjects like maths optional.

My achievements

India's 1st Crowdsourced library is perhaps the best thing that has happened to me. It certainly has my personal reasons why I founded something like this. I am so happy with it.

My family background

We are five siblings. My father passed away in 2003. I am currently residing in Mumbai, India.

Couple of years from now

Adding more library branches across India & abroad too.

My role model

Time is the hero. Seriously there's nobody in specific.

Important lesson learned

Save money.
Keep contacts - you never know.
Think futuristically.

Be human in whatever you do.
Be humble. Think you can. Think what you can. Imagine success.

My strongest skill

Interpersonal skill

Initiative to develop a country

Educate people around.
2 hours per week.
Approach local auto rickshaw, railway, taxi, post office, slums, orphanages, old age house and share your favorite subjects.

Encourage women empowerment.

More about myself

If every member of Silicon makes one person member of our crowdsourcedlibrary , then it'll educate many citizens, locally and internationally.

I am looking for venture capitalists who can help us set up more libraries.

Brief description about me

Books & radio have been my best friends.
I enjoy sports like hockey, rugby, football & basketball.

When I am stressed, I prefer long walks. It helps me to refocus.
