How did you get here? What was your journey?

My scenic journey as a life-long entrepreneur began when I was 11 - my first start-up was a books and vinyl records library in our small apartment in Mumbai. Since then I have set up several successful business in Africa, Europe and the UK. What I have enjoyed most is the multiplier effect of business – the ability to support and give a leg up to many others along the way.
