Mahindra Group’s Chairman Anand Mahindra shared the story of Bhavesh Chandubhai Bhatia, a visually impaired entrepreneur who has overcome significant obstacles to achieve remarkable success. He wrote on X (Twitter), “Toh kya Hua ki tum duniya nahin dekh sakte. Kuch aisa karo ki duniya tumhe dekhe.” This has to be one of the most inspiring messages I have ever encountered. I’m embarrassed that I hadn’t heard about Bhavesh until this clip dropped into my inbox. His start-up has the power to motivate entrepreneurship more powerfully than a zillion unicorns… Keep Rising, Bhavesh!”
In an exclusive interview with BTTV, Nikhil Kamath spoke about investments in the gaming sector as he said, “The rate of growth is appealing, gaming sector is growing, the younger generation seems less enamoured by the old school content”. He further said, “I am not talking about gambling but gaming, I am not talking about fantasy games. I haven’t made any investments yet but seeking opportunity for prospective partners or companies to collaborate.”
This comes after Kamath’s comment on X (Twitter) saying, “Interactive may be the form of content that works in the coming decade. #Esports may be the opportunity to invest in, not IPL teams/cricket, which cost as much as EPL football clubs today. In my limited experience, the younger gen. is less enamoured by cricket than my gen. was.”
