Harpreet Grover and Vibhore Goyal met in college and then spent the next decade of their lives building a company before exiting successfully. One way to tell their story is this: they had a dream, they followed it and, then, through perseverance, they made it come true. But that’s not really the truth.

Sharir ke bhaar ko pairo dwara dhoya jata hai aur hum iski dekhbhaal karne mein aksar chookh jate hai.

Garmiyon ka uncha taapmaan aur suraj ki tapti hui kirne sharir mein kayi bimariyon ki sambhaavna badha deti hai.
