When it comes to Engineering, Management, Start-ups, CEOs, Entrepreneurship and the qualifications required for them, I am sure the two institutes which first come into your minds are Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Indian Institute of Management (IIM). Parents want their kids to get into these two organizations to achieve the ultimate “success” in life. It is a notable trend of this era that most students who want to make it big in the big, bad corporate world, aim for these two institutes. But are these three lettered institutes really necessary to build a successful business, or make it huge in the corporate sector? Definitely NOT! There are many famous and successful CEOs in India who have never been to IIT or IIM. Here are seven such Indians, who clearly don’t owe their success to these two institutes.

He started a company names Paisaback, which provided cash-back promotions for organised retailers. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Freecharge, an online recharge platform.
