In this seminar, Inderjit Singh Dhaliwal will share the highlights, trials, and tribulations of his entrepreneurship journey spanning over 30 years. During this period, he successfully started multiple companies with three memorable exits.

He will also share his life journey and all the entrepreneurial lessons he learned that helped shape him as an entrepreneur. Inderjit sees entrepreneurship as a matter of mindset and everyone should be thinking as one, not just start-up founders.
