Q. What does it mean for you to be a part of the Fortune India 40 under 40 list?

A. It’s a tremendous honour. I look at some of the awardees in the past, and some of the awardees this year, and I am truly humbled. I think they are a terrific bunch of people who have absolutely gone out and achieved enormous things, and I am humbled and honoured to be a part of this list.

Q. Who or what has been your biggest inspiration in life?

A. I think a number of people have been a huge inspiration for me. Definitely, my wife. She has always continued to push me to get better and keep learning more and more. She is certainly a huge source of inspiration. I think the other one from a business standpoint is: Elon Musk. The one attribute of his that I love is his ability to think big at a scale which a few people can, and then go out and make it happen. If you really think about it, that’s what great leaders do. I think those are the two people that have really inspired me.
