“Believe in your dream and you will find a way to realize it.” This was the message Mr. K. V. Kamath, Managing Director and CEO, ICICI Bank Limited had for young entrepreneurs at ‘Young Turks Tutorials’ an interactive session organised by CNBC TV18 where young entrepreneurs got an insight from industry experts on what it takes to be a market leader.

The Young Turks Tutorials was an opportunity to engage and connect with entrepreneurs across industries and some of the most creative mavericks in the country. Some of the other guests, who were present, were Shailesh Chaturvedi- Tommy Hilfiger, Sandeep Parekh- IIM Ahmedabad among others.
