(And from there began my journey into investing and building further companies. So, at the age of 19, I raised Rs. 12 crore, when I thought my own contribution would be Rs. 20-25 lakh. It was good, everyone earned money, and always thought of investors first.)
Vivek stated that he started as a co-founder, later turned advisor and investor in multiple companies. “Shuruaat ki maine as a co-founder, phir dheere dheere jaise jaise time kam padta gaya, I became less of a co-founder and more of an advisor and investor. Now I think advisory ka bhi samay nahi mil raha hai, so now I only focus on running my family office out of the UAE and Mauritius. I manage both of them,” added Oberoi.
