(X/@sbikh) “Sitting with Kunal Shah at a coffee shop in Delhi. In a world of IIT-IIM founders, he stands out as a philosophy graduate from Wilson College in Mumbai. I asked him why he studied philosophy – is it that his marks in Class 12 only gave him admission in that subject or was it out of interest in philosophy? He told me it was neither. His family had gone bankrupt and he had to work as a delivery boy and a data entry operator full time. Philosophy was the only subject where the classes were from 8 am to 10 am. Salute,” wrote Bikhchandani in his tweet.
