After working for various companies for 11 years, in India, UAE and Japan, in 2006 I started my first company, Blue Horse Corporation to trading of food, clothing and electronic products. Thanks to Wealth Dynamics, I could clearly understand my path of least resistance and started enjoying business and life, connected with amazing people through various business network meetings. I co-founded Endeavour Japan to organize events sharing and spread knowledge and now part of Startup Grind Tokyo. I enjoy connecting people, helping, learning and growing together! Linkedin profile.
