Praveen Wadalkar robbed his six years old son’s piggy bank to go for a business meeting. His first business was a complete flop show and he had no money left as he and his wife both had left their job to start that business. Praveen has been to the stage where quitting the entrepreneurial dream was much easier option than to continue. But he kept moving forward to start another venture which flourished and is now spread across many nations in Asia. Praveen is co-founder and CEO of Techizer Tech Solution, a highly specialized healthcare IT consulting firm whose presence is felt in over hundred companies across the Asia. He is a storyteller by passion and has shared his stories in different platforms including two TEDx talks. His talk on Someone’s watching Me (SWM) disease- a condition where we change our decision just because we think what people will think about us has been well received by viewers. He is also an author of the book, Stop Taking Medicines where he explores the issue of medicine non-adherence to raise awareness. Some Questions I ask Praveen: You said in your TEDx that you didn't tell people that your dad was a rickshaw driver. What did you say when somebody asked what does your dad do? What are some of the very important traits or qualities that you acquired from your dad and want to pass on to your kids?  Why do you think we are so concerned about other's opinion? Where did you get that inspiration of starting your own company? Please talk about the biggest failure or challenge that you have faced in your life and the most important lesson learned from that.
