Sharing his thoughts on taking this entrepreneurial plunge, Bhambri says, "All of us have an entrepreneurial spark, provided the right opportunity presents itself at the right time. I saw the right opportunity coming my way -- so, I grabbed it."

On his expectations from this venture, Bhambri adds, "I strongly believe in the power of people, especially the advantage of amicability and like-mindedness. Tandon is someone with whom I share these traits. Great rapport makes great teams, and great teams most certainly lead to quality work."
