How did you identify the opportunities that unintentionally gave rise to the creation of your own business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, Maanav asked a restaurant owner if he knows who the biggest spender in the restaurant is, and he didn\u2019t get an answer. This encounter sparked the idea of developing a tech product aimed at enhancing restaurant service to customers. Although his startup venture, like many others, had a limited lifespan, this experience fueled his fascination with delving further into entrepreneurship and eventually becoming a Venture Capitalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
