Diving Into Entrepreneurship

Naveen Munjal, MD, Hero Electric introduced the first Electric Bicycle way back in 2001 and an Electric Scooter in 2007. Today, Hero Electric is India’s largest Electric Two-wheeler company. Photography, scuba diving, and making India sustainable, is what drives Munjal. Whether it is entrepreneurship or scuba diving, he knows how to stay absolutely calm and composed at all times. Looking at the ‘bigger’ picture a lot of times, he has built a strong business or so to say dived in the deep open waters even when things were not going his way. He has had way too many such experiences doing both – building a business in a new uncharted world and diving in the deep waters with sharks around you! Here’s Munjal talking about the therapy and thrill in diving.
