Success Story

Starting from the struggling days

Dec 2006 - Present

YuppTV Inc.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

I had a good thing going. I had a steady well-paying job at Nortel and was looking ahead to earning a mid-career degree from the Kellogg’s School of Management. Instead, the day I was to begin classes in Fall 2006, I consulted the person who had interviewed me there, about a business plan I had, and went off to set up my own company.

And the struggling days begin.

Prior to opting to become an entrepreneur, I served as a Director for Nortel, where I was responsible for Cable and Wireless Sales in Caribbean.

I joined a week’s workshop on Executive Management Program in Finance with the prestigious Kellogg School of Management.

The job was basically in Siemens Telecommunications. At that time there were very few multinational companies in India. In this company I rendered extraordinary and excellent services in the field of Digital and Telecom services. Ever since then, I never looked back. My career advanced from strength to strength and attracted offers from multinational organizations from across the globe.
