Vivek Pahwa (Co2006) has been selected as Asia's Best Young
Entrepreneur for 2008 out of 26 extremely accomplished entrepreneurs
from the continent. Needless to say, this is a proud moment for the ISB and goes a long way in portraying the entrepreneurial spirit
that exists within the school. In the past 2 years, Vivek has
successfully started multiple ventures, starting with
DesiMartini.com (which eventually was sold off to Hindustan Times)
followed by SecondShaadi.com (India's largest matrimonial website
for re-marriages) and recently Gaadi.com (India's No 2 Car portal).
