Vijay Kumar Purohit may not be a household name yet, but he's already made a name for himself in the tech world.
As president and CEO of Apex Group Holdings, he's worked with companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, and now he's hoping to do the same for the rest of the world, CNBC reports.
In a blog post, Purohit says he's looking for "opportunity[s] taking risks, creating new solutions to issues, and meeting market needs."
He also notes that entrepreneurs "drive progress by starting new businesses, creating jobs, and introducing innovative products and services," and that they're "naturally inclined to challenge the status quo and find better solutions to problems."
Purohit says he wants to "bring positive changes to our lives and broader society," adding, "The spirit is essential because it fosters economic growth, drives innovation, brings personal fulfillment, and contributes to social development."
