He believes in 'learning by doing' and if you were to visit him back in time, you'd find him involved in everything ranging from atheletics to contesting college elections, to debating on geopolitical issues. The sheer delight of working with early stage founders and discovering new trends, banking on India's growth potential is what inspires Saksham everyday.
