This is personal to me...


Hi Reader,

In this weekly edition of my PURPOSEFUL ENTREPRENEUR Newsletter, I get a little personal about my reconnection with my roots...

I was born in India, and migrated to the US at age 23, with no money. I had my Bachelor's degree from Delhi University and was a young Chartered Accountant (a really complex version of a CPA!), none of which meant anything in the US. They did not even recognize my Bachelor's degree! That was 1979.

I climbed many corporate ladders, from the bottom all the way to being a senior Wall Street executive right up until 2005. My employer, Morgan Stanley, sent me to India to set up the firm back in 1994-95! And when I cringed -- I knew nothing about India's ecosystem, and I had barely even traveled to India in 16 years -- they told me I was their only choice!

In any case, read about how India today, almost 30 years after I was sent to set up the company, has been revolutionized by a confluence of more open policies, Government support and the sheer entrepreneurial prowess of young Indians!

I hope you get inspired on your own journey!
