Entrepreneurship was where his heart belonged.

This electrical engineer from IIT-Delhi, Saurav Chopra, was always looking for the right plan and the right partner to make it as an entrepreneur and things fell in place when Chopra, who is also an MBA from London Business School, met his business partner Chieu Cao, who had moved to the UK from Texas.

According to a report in Financial Times, what interested the duo was finding ways to help small businesses grow and over time they realised that these firms often struggled to provide the employee benefits that large firms could access.

The business they created, Perkbox, secures bulk deals with high street retailers, cinemas, restaurants and insurers to create employee benefits packages tailored to the needs of small businesses.

Perkbox trebled sales last year.
