Born in 1987, Prashant Kulkarni’s entrepreneurial journey began at a young age, where he exhibited a remarkable drive for innovation and a keen business sense. From selling paper boats during rainy seasons to managing a video cassette library, Prashant’s early experiences laid the foundation for his future entrepreneurial ventures.
In 2001, Prashant ventured into the world of book trading, sourcing books from a local “kabadiwala” and selling them at Khajuri Bazar to fund his passion for adding new fish to his aquarium. This early foray into commerce showcased Prashant’s resourcefulness and knack for identifying market opportunities.
By 2003, Prashant had tapped into the emerging mobile phone market, selling SIM cards and mobile phones to friends and relatives. His ability to secure choice numbers and provide personalised service earned him a reputation in his circle.
