[edit] Early life and education
Vikas Kedia was born in Kolkata on 25 October 1977. He graduated from Sri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi. He finished MBA from IIM-Bangalore in 2000. During his MBA he represented India at the Global Entrepreneurship Challenge, sponsored by Stanford University.[1] He ranked in the top 5% of his batch and was offered a possible $100,000-a-year job by a New York based company.[2] He did not accept the job because he wanted to be an entrepreneur.[citation needed]
[edit] Early career
He started a software company to detect click fraud[3] that showed a lot of potential at the beginning. However, it could not sustain the growth for long. Soon it ran out of initial funding and investors decided to stop further investment. Thus he had to close the company. After this he did research on Ad-Hoc processing of data.[4]
[edit] The online ventures
It was during this period that he first thought about starting a website to help people in debt.[5]
