Amrish Rau is the kind of fintech leader who quietly moved into India’s payments world and then rewrote the rules. He joined Pine Labs as CEO in March 2020 after running Citrus Pay (which he later sold to PayU) and overseeing PayU India. Under his leadership Pine Labs has shifted from being just a point-of-sale terminal provider to building a full-stack payments and commerce platform. At the heart of Rau’s vision was building a modern, cloud-first payments ecosystem. He belie

Prem Ganapathy’s story feels almost unreal when you hear it for the first time. He arrived in Mumbai from Tamil Nadu in the early nineties with barely any money and no safety net. For a short period life was harsh and he worked odd jobs just to survive. Bit by bit he saved enough to start a small food cart near Bandra serving simple South Indian snacks. That tiny cart would become the seed of one of India’s most admired food entrepreneurship journeys. As crowds grew around hi

Divyank Turakhia’s rise is a classic tale of an Indian entrepreneur who merged technical genius with bold business instincts. Born in Mumbai, he started programming when he was just eight years old. He and his older brother Bhavin founded their first company, Directi, as teenagers, with a modest capital borrowed from their father.

Vinayak Lohani’s journey reads like a page from a modern-day spiritual fable an IIT Kharagpur and IIM Calcutta graduate who renounced placement offers to serve the most vulnerable.

Starting out without financial cushion, Lohani supported Parivaar’s early days

He entered the beauty and wellness sector at a time when traditional brands dominated, but digital disruption was around the corner. He leveraged fresh thinking around content, community and commerce to carve a distinctive niche. Early on he perceived that Indian consumers, especial

Mayank Bidawatka is one of those Indian entrepreneurs who noticed what others ignored. He saw how millions of people across India wanted to express themselves online but were left behind because most digital spaces were built around English. That single insight shaped Koo, a homegrown social media platform that lets users post and connect in their native languages. For a country with dozens of languages and countless dialects, it was an idea that immediately clicked with user

Supam Maheshwari began FirstCry with a clear purpose: make parenting simpler for millions across India. He saw gaps in access to reliable baby products outside big cities and wanted a single place where parents could trust the choice and price. His idea came from personal experience when he faced difficulty finding quality baby gear for his child. That frustration turned into an opportunity to build something lasting in the Indian retail market. FirstCry launched in 2010 and

Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s journey from a small-town dreamer to one of India’s most influential entrepreneurs is nothing short of remarkable. Born in Aligarh, he studied engineering at Delhi College of Engineering, where his love for coding and problem solving started early.

What began as a basic idea to simplify mobile recharges eventually cha
