2012
Mr. Chetan Varma had recently passed out from NYSS, Nagpur and unlike most of his batchmates, immediately started laying down plans to start his own company. And before year end, he successfully established Orange Snipers Infotech Pvt. Ltd., along with some of his like minded friends. Today, the company is still going strong and has even acquired a website which deals with online services.
A week back, I had the privilege to visit his office. It was refreshing to see his calm and composed behaviour while addressing his employees. I had a long talk with him about his plans regarding his company's future and his other ventures. What I could gather from that lengthy (but interesting to say the least) talk was that the guy had a clear vision and a genuine passion towards working to achieve his goals.
TechChallenger was his dream project since the day he became a graduate. It had to take a backseat to Orange Snipers and some of his other ventures that helped him establish his own identity in the confines of Nagpur's IT industry. Basically, TechChallenger is a forum which he has designed over the course of the past few months. The website is yet to be made public but it's only a matter of days as to when it'll happen.
Chetan's vision is to build India's largest online community of techies, ranging from students, teachers, IT professionals and anyone else who could benefit from such a forum. He wants to bring the students and faculties of Indian institutes on a single platform where they can post queries, share opinions and engage in constructive discussion with fellow students and faculties. Plus, students and faculties can create original blogs and share on the forums, ultimately benefiting students in more ways than one.
"It’ll mostly help the shy and introvert types, who are reluctant to approach the faculties or even colleauges when in doubt. Continuous interaction may help them overcome their shyness." This statement from him cleared all the remaining queries that I had in mind as to what he really wanted. It started becoming pretty clear that he was genuinely thinking about the students' welfare alongside building his own brand.
Currently, Chetan is looking to acquire a piece of land in MIHAN, to establish a setup which would act as a central system for handling TechChallenger's day to day operations. After conversing with him for over 2 straight hours, I'm pretty sure that he'll bag the much needed piece of land. And looking at the current state of things and the progress he's been making, the day doesn't seem far away when TechChallenger will take the Indian academic community by storm and become the one stop spot to give and gain knowledge, for students and teachers alike.
We wish him the very best!
