Quotes
Vijeet Suman
IIT Delhi alumnus and entrepreneur
“My job was protecting billions of dollars a year from financial crime. Three of the four companies I worked at got acquired, including Linio by Falabella and Cornershop by Uber. I was lucky with the leaders I worked under - they taught me how to take risks properly, when to bet, and how to own the outcomes.”

“Strangers started asking us to cater their weddings. Letting two Indian engineers handle food on the most important day of their lives was a huge leap of faith. Dozens of weddings later, it taught me a fundamental lesson: if you fix a real necessity, the market shows you the way naturally.”
