- Hi, I am Deepti Beri, a Chartered Accountant by qualification and an Entrepreneur by passion and training. I grew up in India and traveled widely in India and overseas.
- Way back in 2001, I started my journey at a start-up, and since then I have been associated with various startups in diverse industries.

- Today we have 100k plus active readers and viewers including our B2B partners, schools, and NGOs in India, the Middle East, the South East, and the US.
