He quit as a COO to start a business from a scratch

Tuesday, September 23, 2008, Chandigarh, India.

The chief operating officer (COO) of a company, shooting orders, heading board meetings and taking home a real fat pay cheque at the end of every month. Imagine giving it up for a small office with absolutely no help of any kind. Not even a peon. Dheeraj Aggarwal, risked the security of his previous job and went ahead to create his own company, Altruist, that provides telecom related value added services.

"There was a substantial amount of risk involved in what I was doing. Apart from this, I was the first-generation entrepreneur, so I didn't have an accumulated wealth to invest," says Dheeraj, who started off from the top floor of his house and now has 12 offices all over India with a staff of at least 20 at every station.

"I am inspired by my father and how he single handedly manage to study and raise a family. He has always told me that nothing is impossible if we put in sincere effort."

But things didn't fell into place from the word go. "There was absolutely no billing for the first 6 months. My brother and I handled everything on our own," remarks Dheeraj, who strongly feels 'it is the thought, which leads you to a destination.' "You can't sit and see your dreams shaping up. You have to get and work. That's how successful set-ups are made." Stuff that honchos are made of.
