Vikram Kailas, Managing Director, Mytrah Energy

My first role model
My father. I learnt my life lessons, especially as an entrepreneur, from him

My first job
When I was in Class VI, I took a loan from my father, bought kites from wholesalers, and then sold them in front of my house

My first boss
My father, who initiated my journey to becoming an entrepreneur. Also uncle Ravi, who taught me to channel people's passions and get out of the way

My first promotion
When I became a father six months ago. I feel I began looking at life from a very different perspective. Life became more meaningful

My first disappointment
When I was not selected in the Under-16 cricket team in school to play at the state-level. It taught me that failure should be taken in one's stride
