A CLAY MODEL

Edtech firm Hero Vired's Founder Akshay Munjal is passionate about creating sculptures out of clay

AKSHAY MUNJAL is an entrepreneur with a difference. The third-generation business tycoon who hails from the prominent Munjal family, the driving force behind the Hero Group, can, in many ways, be called the architect of the group's BML Munjal University. Last year, he forayed into the burgeoning edtech space by launching his venture, Hero Vired. However, above and beyond the confines of corporate life, the very softspoken Munjal is an artist at heart-when not overseeing operations at Hero Vired, he loves to immerse himself into sculpting. The 42-year-old entrepreneur has a special fondness for clay.
