Ashish J. Takkar

Ashish J. Takkar, an entrepreneur borne in Uganda. He is the founder and CEO of Mara Group, which is a pan African conglomerate that works in 26 countries and employs around 7,000 people.  The company focuses on technology, real estate, manufacturing and financial services grossing more than $ 100 million in annual revenues. It is admirable how he started everything from scratch, his first started when he was 15 by selling computers to his schoolmates and friends.  The World Entrepreneurship Forum in Singapore announced him as the world youngest entrepreneur of the year. 

It is interesting how there are still people wanting to create their own business even though there are a lot of risks involved. In my perspective, creating a business is important since you provide jobs to people. In today’s world there is a lot of unemployment and it is beneficial for the world to see people that are still striving to create their own business.
