I am glad to share this with you, that I am giving my best to follow the footsteps of people who have brought Glory, fame & name humanity all over the globe. I am on the path to add feathers to the cap of Humanity & my Nation.

I have my way of doing it and have already done some sizable work from my side, as I now turn 25 in about a couple of months. MY biography is available for download at www.iuindia.com/ourspeakers.php.

Currently I am participating in a GLOBAL COMPETITION called YOUR BIG YEAR. A competition which has gained overnight recognition from the BEST & ELITE of the WORLD. The winners of this would be awarded a prize of travel to 22 countries covering 5 continents. The COMPANY Smaller Earth (www.smallerearth.com) engages in this. The winner is given an experience of leadership through experience, which shall set his momentum for the rest of the life.

Last Year's winner was MICHAEL TEOH from MALAYSIA. You can google him out, to see what he has gone on to become today. As the turn comes this year, It's a matter of pride & prestige to know that an INDIAN Sujit Lalwani (You can google me out as well) Ranks amongst the only chosen 111 Stage 2 finalists. Now 51 of them are competing for TOP position which would be through a procedure of voting.

The winner in this would attend the GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONGRESS in LIVERPOOL. (http://gec.unleashingideas.org/) Which is expected to be attended by top brass of the world.

One chance for us to shine on the GLOBE. The voting procedure is simple & given in simple steps on www.iuindia.com.
