<span class="htext1">How life has changed:</span> I have been through three partnership splits in the last twenty years: Sanjeev Bikhchandani

For Sanjeev, the performance of Naukri.com has exceeded his expectation. The company's revenue has grown 800 times in the last decade

10 Years Back:

I was doing the same job I am doing today. I was co-founder and CEO of Naukri.com then, I am co-founder and CEO of Naukri.com now.

Milestones:

Ten years ago, Naukri.com was an early stage company hence we had little vision of the future. But, the performance has exceeded expectations. Revenue has scaled up over 800 times since then. We now, run nine or 10 businesses. We listed in 2006 and we are now 1,600 people spread across offices in 37 cities in four countries.

Work-Life Balance:

I guess I have learnt to deal with greater complexity in my job as the company has grown larger. Other than that, people don't really change. I work fewer hours than I did 10 years ago – mostly because there is now a larger team and others do a lot of the work. Ten years ago I had to know how to do most jobs in the company and I was putting in 100-hour weeks.

Tough Calls:

I have been through three partnership splits in the last twenty years. These can be traumatic experiences.

Change in Work-life:

People are being paid more, they are better empowered and have higher expectations. They are handling greater responsibilities at a very young age.

Personal life:

Not much has changed. We still live in the same house and we still have the same lifestyle.
