years where I got a valuable experience in Sales and Management. I am a die hard cricket fan and Bollywood buff. I like to spend whatever leisure I get, following up with science related videos. Personal favorite comic character is The Prince of Asgard – Thor.
b.
What led you to going ahead with the
idea of taking "Repair Services" online and
creating a profitable business entity out of it?
During the second half of 2014, while I was working for this idea, Repair services was a market which was or rather still is unorganized and untapped. The customer had services to sell, to buy, to book cabs and to book shows online but didn’t have anything for repair. Hence I decided to pursue this idea and work towards this unorganized market to make it organized.
