Young entrepreneurs will make a difference in the Indian ecosystem.

I am proud of my country. But we need to unite to make a unified India, free of communalism and casteism. We need to build India into a land of equal opportunity for all.

Having said that, I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond India.
