BHAVISH AGGARWAL
Born in Ludhiana, Bhavish just like every other success-driven and successful entrepreneur, began at a very early age. Soon after he completed his Bachelors in Technology (Computer Science and Engineering) from IIT–B in 2008, he started his career with Microsoft Research India as a Research Intern and later got reinstated as an Assistant Researcher.
During his more than two years of stint with Microsoft, Bhavish managed to file two patents and also got three papers published in the international journals.
Now what many aren’t aware is that, while he was at it, he had also turned into a blogger and had founded his own prodigy called – desitech.in. Desitech was all about hosting content which was mainly focused at technologies which again were inclined towards the Indian scenario. This content was a collection of start-ups in India, events and / or any other exclusive news. Because he got a first-hand experience of such a problem, after decent amount of research also realised that, this in actuality was a genuine and deep rooted problem for the masses. A lot of customers had fallen prey to such situations and were desperately in need of a quality cab service. That was when for the first time, he could vision the amount of potential a cab booking service could have. And after basic calculations, Bhavish changed his business from the earlier mentioned start-up to – OlaCabs.
We all can know that how did the idea of the startup of taxi service came in Bhavish Aggrawal's mind from the following video:
During this same time, he took the biggest decision of his life and turned his personal pain-point into his first entrepreneurial venture! simple yet charming Bhavish, with the success of his prodigy has certainly become the talk of the town. But even after becoming a millionaire, he still prefers to not buy a car and take a cab (to set an example, we presume), certainly doesn’t goes down well with his wife. He believes that, such is a small price that every entrepreneur has to pay.
Anyways, when not crushing his competitors, one can catch Bhavish cycling, playing squash or doing what he loves the most – photography. He also maintains a largely popular photoblog!
