It's all in the mind, and Arun Kumar Sahlam - "the brain" of CarWale - as he is called by many in the office, has grey matter that is always overflowing with ideas and concepts. Some are eccentric, but the way this young, quiet, humble, witty and outright down-to-earth entrepreneur thinks leaves quite a few with a wide-eyed expression! This IIT-Madras product is one of the founders of CarWale.com and likes to be involved in anything that has "technical" mentioned anywhere close to it. A geek, this guy!
His endeavors have seen CarWale develop into a dynamic internet portal which caters to a huge number of users towards anything automotive. And it is this effort of his that has been acknowledged by the leading business magazine in the world - BusinessWeek. BusinessWeek has recognized Arun as one of the top 25 entrepreneurs in the Asian continent.
Arun Kumar Sahlam is not in town to experience the hands-on feel of the global acclaim that he is being showered upon and also the corporate wishes that he has been amassing. Many would be interested in knowing the reason for his absence in such a time of achievement. The reason, ladies and gentlemen, is that he is ending the days of being a bachelor today! Entering the married life, Arun could not have expected a better wedding present than this achievement.
It was Red Herring that identified the capabilities of CarWale and declared it as one of the top hundred start-up companies in Asia and now this follows - declaration of our co-founder Arun Sahlam as one of the top 25 entrepreneurs in the Asian continent. We thank our users for making CarWale reach the heights that it has. So Arun, on the day that you enter the married life, you are presented with heartfelt congratulations from everyone! God bless. Amen.
