Info Edge (India) was the first Indian Internet company to go public on the Indian stock exchange in November 2006. It owns internet properties Naukri, 99 acres and Jeevansathi.
CEO and co-founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani was a featured speaker at the recently concluded first TiE India entrepreneurial conference in Mumbai. We caught up with Sanjeev at the conference and spoke to him on a whole range of issue ranging from what it takes to go IPO on the Indian stock market, and what are the similarities and dissimilarities when compared to an American IPO.
Info Edge was founded in May 1995. Sanjeev and his team bootstrapped their company before they landed their first round of funding from the venture arm of ICICI. Sanjeev talks about how the environment for entrepreneurs has changed in the past 10 years, and how organizations like TiE help foster entrepreneurship.
Sanjeev also offers advice to first entrepreneurs and some of the do’s and don’ts when starting a business. Sanjeev holds a bachelors degree in Economics from St. Stephens College, Delhi and an MBA from IIM, Ahmedabad.
