“Sitting with Kunal Shah at a coffee shop in Delhi. In a world of IIT-IIM founders, he stands out as a philosophy graduate from Wilson College in Mumbai. I asked him why he studied philosophy - is it that his marks in Class 12 only gave him admission in that subject or was it out of interest in philosophy? He told me it was neither. His family had gone bankrupt and he had to work as a delivery boy and a data entry operator full time. Philosophy was the only subject where the classes were from 8 am to 10 am. Salute,” wrote Bikhchandani in his tweet. (Also Read: Shark Tank India judge Ritesh Agarwal bumps into Rana Daggubati, says ‘he could be a shark one day’)

A third posted, “Wherever you are, do whatever you can, with whatever you have.”

“Philosophy matured him to predict the nature of people and be realistic in a real sense. He is a genius in a real sense and a real entrepreneur. Blessings,” commented a fourth.
