It seems like he can go to any extent to get the throne. Actors like Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Rasika Dugal and <keyword id="19901508" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-varma" source="keywords">Vijay Varma</keyword> also left a mark with their presence in the trailer.

Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chadha, Meghna Malik, and Manu Rishi Chadha are also part of the show.

With Mirzapur 3, we strive to build on the momentum and take the narrative to a whole new level, exploring new facets and dimensions of each character's life replete with new plot twists. We are incredibly excited for fans to witness the showdown for Mirzapur's throne unfold in the new season." He added, "The stakes have gone notches higher and the canvas has surely become bigger. After a hiatus of three and a half years, we, just like our viewers, cannot wait for the global premiere of Mirzapur 3 on <keyword id="19925152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prime-Video" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Prime Video" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Prime Video">Prime Video</keyword>." The first season of the crime drama premiered in 2018 and season second came in 2020. Ahead of the release of the third season in July, actor Ali Fazal took a stroll down memory lane and recalled the challenges he faced while reprising his role of Guddu Pandit. "I don't know what season 3 holds but I know I have justified a graph for this particular boy who has the essence of it all who holds his innocence despite so much corruption around him. And a young boy almost at his impressionable age getting turned into all kinds of demons and things along the way because of the circumstances in the society, and he becomes what he becomes. So yes it has taken a lot out of me, I will always cherish it," he shared. He added, "It is the world that I don't belong to, it is the character I don't belong to, but I have tried to make sense of it, with the analytical approach I have to study it, the way they write, the way they think, the way he interacts with the people in those areas and of course kahaniyan, kahaniyan hain, they can be told in any perspective. In this case, you see it from Guddu's perspective. The rest of it has been the icing on the cake, there is the bodybuilder, there is a manickness, the madness that you see but these are the effects of core traumas that this person has been through."Ali further explained how he prepared for the role." "To be able to have so much compassion that I wanted to achieve through playing this part, and also to the audiences to be able to play something like this requires someone who can see, what a person in that situation can go through or maybe any other situation, it can be endless situations in a story, I think that was my biggest challenge, to be able to put yourself away from it and look at it and without judging it just observe. So I have tried to do that I really hope it brings some heart out on the big screen or any screen where it will be watched," he said. The new season will be out on Prime Video on July 5.

Action-packed trailer of season 3 of 'Mirzapur' finally out; new season to premiere next month

<keyword id="1199916" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Belong">Belong</keyword>, a data analytics talent acquisition firm helping companies hire the right talent at the right time, boasts of a dynamic list of clients – from <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword>, Practo, Zivame to Ola and <keyword id="6368309" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Urban-Ladder">Urban ladder</keyword>. 
 
The reason it has been able to get onboard big names on its platform is because it's solving the recruitment concerns of these companies differently – it’s using big data, search, and predictive analytics to make a recruiter’s job easier. They no longer need to screen thousands of resumes to find ‘hidden gems’ -- but can instead target and engage candidates with surgical precision in just a few clicks. 
 For this, Belong is using machine learning to optimize the process of shortlisting a candidate based on an individual recruiter’s search patterns. This, the company claims, greatly reduces the effort of a recruiter as it replicates what recruiters and <keyword id="6357342" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hiring">hiring</keyword> managers try to do when they look at a candidate’s background except the algorithms draw on far more information for an informed decision. 
 We decided to chat with <keyword id="14193" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vijay-Sharma">Vijay Sharma</keyword>, CEO and co-founder of Belong, to understand what these high growth companies they work with are looking for in candidates. 
 
"They look for an entrepreneurial DNA in their candidates..." 
 
Sharma told Business Insider – “These candidates would have to be ex-entrepreneurs or co-founders or product leaders with experience in building and launching global products from the scratch. People who are comfortable getting their hands dirty, for example, tech leaders who are still comfortable coding.” 
 
He said most of these companies are actively encouraging a “micro-startup” culture within their teams. 
 
"Because many of them are moving into new categories or businesses, they want people who can come onboard and take on business ownership. For a product manager, this could involve P/L metrics,” he added. Additionally, because these companies are building for a global market, they also prefer people with international experience. 
 
Another key aspect, the Belong CEO said, companies are looking out for is - “Why someone is joining them”. 
 
“In the recent past, companies did attract a lot of talent looking for higher salaries and perks. They are still willing to splurge on talent, but they seek strong alignment on vision, culture, and role-fit,” he concluded. 
 
These trends show how India has come a long way in the recruitment journey already. As it continues to evolve, companies like Belong (which are bringing technology to HR) are bound to completely reshape and revolutionize the recruiting landscape in the near future.

A survey by recruitment start-up Belong has come out with results that prove the dominance of <keyword id="965656" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Android-developers">Android developers</keyword> in the mobile talent pool, stating that they form 72% of the pool. 
 The <keyword id="3375938" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="India-Mobile-Talent-Landscape-Report-2016">India Mobile Talent Landscape Report 2016</keyword> from Bengaluru-based Belong also shows that while <keyword id="2417629" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="iOS-developers">iOS developers</keyword> make for 26% of the pool, <keyword id="3375940" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Windows-developers">Windows developers</keyword> have the least share of a mere 2%. 
 
The survey was done over a representative, randomised sample set of more than 25,000 mobile developers from Belong's database of publicly available and curated profiles. 
 
"As businesses race to capitalise on the opportunities of the new mobile economy, there is intense competition for skilled Android and iOS developers. The truth, however, is that the mobile talent pool in India is still in its very early stages. To help companies better understand the dynamics of this pool and craft effective hiring strategies, we conducted the India Mobile Talent Landscape Report 2016," said Vijay Sharma, CEO of Belong. 
 
Talking of the institutes from where these developers learn the science behind OS development, regional universities like Visvesvaraya Technological University (8.97%) and Anna University (7.88%) have a higher number of mobile developers than prestigious institutes like IIT Delhi (2.79%) and IIT Kharagpur (2.67%). BITS Pilani, however, leads the race by producing 10.5% of mobile talent in India. 
 
Majority of these developers are hired by IT services and computer software sectors, which are much ahead of Internet and e-commerce sectors, who appear on the third and fifth place despite offering more attractive salaries.

“To the winners, who won because they didn't give up.”- <keyword id="198636" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vijay-Shekhar-Sharma">Vijay Shekhar Sharma</keyword>, founder of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/You-might-soon-be-able-to-shop-up-to-Rs-25K-via-mobile-wallets-Paytm-asks-RBI-to-raise-cash-limit-for-the-same/articleshow/48110055.cms">Paytm</a>. 
 
The man, who always wears a welcoming smile, stands true to every word he wrote during the most difficult times of his life. Vijay Shekhar Sharma owns a company whose current value is a little over $3 billion in the market in 2016, a dream dreamt when he was struggling to make ends meet with Rs 10 in pocket. But he tasted victory the hard way. Nothing came easy for him. The tears he hides behind the chirpy self that he puts up in front of the world could not be hidden for long while recollecting his journey. Interestingly, it was not talking about his failures that brought tears in his eyes; it was his hard earned victory. 
 
Life tested him right from the beginning of his journey to become one of the most influential people in the business world today. Though he passed his higher secondary when he was just 14 years old, a child prodigy of sorts, making it through college was the first tough challenge he faced when he left the cosy comfort of his small hometown outside Aligarh and ventured into the real world. 
 
A topper in his school, he was lost in transition in college-Delhi College of Engineering. Coming from a very humble background (his father was a highly principled, school teacher, who refused to earn the extra buck through tuitions, because he believed in what was the right thing to do), Vijay did not know how to read and write English for he completed his school education completely in Hindi, in his small town. However, he realised soon enough that to make it through college he must start learning the language first and with the help of books, second hand magazines and his friends, he mastered the language in a way which few can. His modus operandi was to read a Hindi version of the book simultaneously with the English-one, a habit that ensured that he soon learnt to read two books at the same time! But it wasn’t easy to say the least. The first-bencher in school slowly started gravitating towards the back benches, and in a short while, was so disheartened and disillusioned with his bad grades, mostly due to language constraints, that he completely stopped attending college. 
 
“When winning is about not giving up. 
 
When doing all that you can, gets a new meaning.” 
 
Struggling to learn English, survive the rigours of engineering college and the big bad city that Delhi was, this normally would be the time when many in his situation would have quit. Vijay, however, was something else. He decided to build, to use the time he had from ‘not attending college’ by turning an entrepreneur. A believer in challenging the unknown, he made the internet his playground and Sabeer Bhatia and Yahoo his inspirations. He aspired to go to Stanford, because that was where Yahoo was built, but realising his lack of financial resources and his challenges with the English language, he decided to emulate some of the genius at Stanford, by learning how to code all by himself. He started building his own content management system with some of his college mates, which went onto being used by some of the biggest news publications including The Indian Express. It was also during this time when he started his first job at an MNC. He quit after six months and built a company of his own with his friends. He finally passed his college examinations too. 
 This would also become the darkest time in his life, when having his dreams of reaching the <keyword id="6357722" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="silicon-valley">Silicon Valley</keyword> shattered, he was also left bankrupt by his partners, with whom he had just begun a business and raised the first round of funding. In 2005, he had raised a hefty amount of Rs 8 lakhs through his venture of which he was conned off 40%. He was devastated. But Vijay was not a man to give up so easily. He lived at a hostel near Kashmiri Gate in Delhi, skipped meals and walked long distances to attend work or meetings in the southern part of the State. 
 
Infact having been through such tough times, if there is a fear that the ‘Iron Man’ of the startup ecosystem of India still harbours, it is that someday ‘some unknown’ will take away all of his hardwork. 
 Things took to a better turn when he began One97, the parent company of <keyword id="6357120" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="PayTM">Paytm</keyword>. They started experimenting with the three basics of internet- content, advertising and commerce. But the big eureka moment came in 2011 when he first pitched the idea of entering the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/SBI-is-threatened-by-new-age-payments-banks-flies-to-Bengaluru-to-catch-up-with-tech-savvy-rivals/articleshow/48650002.cms">payment ecosystem</a> in front of his board. The board was not convinced, as he was talking about betting the company’s money on a non-existent market. 
 
“Some other entrepreneur would have sold the equity and started their own company. But I aspire to build a 100 year old company. I think that men and boys are different because the boys flip and sell. Men run and build legacies,” Vijay said. 
 
So he put 1% of his equity, which was about $2 million around 2011, on the table and said, “This is for all of you, if I waste the money that we put on the site.” He adds, “There is no fun in doing what others ask you to do, the real fun is in doing what people say you can’t do.” 
 
And it is with this belief that the first avatar of Paytm, Pay Through Mobile, was born, going rapidly onto becoming the next big thing of the startup ecosystem in India. And, since then it was never looking back. 
 
 
 
The secret behind this steep arch is the trust he built with his customers which none other gave as much value to before. Even before Vijay began the roll-out of his <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Mobile-wallet-for-government-services-will-be-a-reality-soon/articleshow/50026480.cms">internet wallet services</a>, he first built a strong 24x7 customer care service to address the worries of customers to enable them to trust the wallet enough to put their money into the hands of the unknown. “30% of the company’s campaign budget is invested in building trust with the customer. For us it was the single most important factor,” says Vijay, with a deep pride in what he has built so far. 
 
“We propagated through word of mouth once the trust was built. I have a firm belief that the truest relationship test comes when one goes through a stress case. This makes our relationship with our customers special and unique than the rest. We also launched in Twitter and Facebook so that as soon as a customer complained, we got back with an immediate response and help. Trust is the secret formula which worked for us, though there were 30 other licences already available in the market like Mobikwik.” 
 
Backed by consumer trust, Paytm’s stupendous journey to the top of the internet wallet market is now a part of startup folklore, but what is unkown is that Paytm also became one of a handful companies worldwide to secure Series A funding exceeding several $100 mn. They have done only a single round of funding till now with Alibaba, SAIF and Alipay. 
 
“I have always wanted a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Lendingkart-joins-hands-with-Paytm-for-collateral-free-business-loans-to-SMEs-sellers/articleshow/49935027.cms">business partner </a>and not a syndicated investor. Our relationship with “business partner/investor” is of a journey together. There are four people who own this company- me, SAIF, Alibaba, Alipay, says Vijay, in his usual animated way. 
 
After building a billion dollar worth company, maintaining the success is the most difficult part of the journey and it cannot be done without good teamwork, he says. For that, he ensures that the right people are taken onboard who share the same passion to build like his. He has also given 4% of his equity to the team, which in current value terms is about $120 million. 
 
“I have given more to my team than any amount of salary cumulatively taken in so many years, ” Vijay says. And why he chose to do so isn’t hard to understand. Given his personal experiences and the tough fight he put up to achieve where he has reached, he values everyone who contributes to creating his vision. People working in his company are never referred to as ‘Employees’, but as ‘Colleagues’ or ‘Teammates’. A staunch believer of God, he believes that only one amongst every 10 hardworking person succeeds to the levels he today firmly belongs in, and because of that respect he shares for every hardworking person, he doesn’t have the right to call anyone an employee or a worker. 
 
But, it’s just not the fighting spirit that has Vijay in the position that he enjoys today. Despite his engineering background and no formal education in business management, he has the business acumen of a genius. 
 
While the pride he takes in his creation and the people who help him implement his vision is obvious, he brushes this unique quality off by saying, “When something’s not working, I become the customer,” with a smile on his face, that is so true to himself. He attributes his humility to the lessons learned from his father. His father refused to take tuitions even though the extra money would have made a huge difference to their lives, as he believed that true education cannot be the privilege of those who have money. 
 
His struggles are the reason why he hates reading fiction. How can one be inspired by made up tales! 
 
Vijay stands testimony to the saying, “A man makes his own destiny.” 
 Life has been busy for this go-getter ever since he entered college. A true lover of all kinds of music, Coldplay, U2, <keyword id="74615" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jim-Morrison">Jim Morrison</keyword> being his favourites, he takes respite in music to relieve his stress. He is also the resident DJ at One97, added Vijay with a whole-hearted laugh, often forcing his colleagues and teammates to listen to the music he discovers. 
 
Inspite of all these, his attitude to life can be best defined in his own simple words. 
 
“It (his success) still seems so surreal.”

Paytm Founder, Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s incredible life story!

After spending hours on internet, scanning through social media, writing emails and recruiting for different startups, founders of hiring startup ‘Belong’ concluded that top coders or product managers rarely apply for jobs. 
 
Vijay Sharma and Sudheendra Chilappagari said that most recruitments at these levels happen through connections or referrals, making it tough for employers to find great talent buried a few levels inside a company. 
 
The two have helped hire people for startups including Exotel, Practo and Instamojo in their earlier jobs. They have now focussed on their know-how into a hiring company that uses big data and rules to tell which gifted programmer is likely to move jobs or which manager is bored of the job. 
 
Belong not only matches skills but also checks if a potential hire can culturally fit in. 
 
"People leave a lot about themselves online. That helps us match a potential employee and the culture of the organisation," Sharma, who has so far bootstrapped the company to a 35-member team told Economic Times. 
 
The financial daily reported that the Bengaluru-based Belong analyses internet data and crumbs of information left on social media by potential hires to help companies identify candidates with high degree of precision. 
 
"People do skill matching all the time. But what really makes an employee stick is the culture," added Sharma, who has been in stealth mode since leaving Exotel last year. 
 
Many startups these days believe in hiring smart people and then figuring out a role for them, especially at senior levels. Mostly, these people might not be actively looking for jobs. 
 
"People have joined us from various industries like FMCG and telecom, and you don't see a direct fit most of the times," Saurabh Sengupta, who heads recruitment at Zomato, told ET, adding, “the deal maker is if they are like-minded. We are taking a lot of bets on people and not on resumes.” 
 
Belong, which was earlier known as Dataemo, has more than 15 paying customers including fast-growing companies such as Ola Cabs, Xiaomi, Snapdeal, Zivame and Akosha. 
 
It profiles companies and potential hires based on various factors including the state from which they are, whether they are parents or is the engineering team low on women coders. 
 
"Some people might even come to you and say we need ex-Army men in our operations team," said Sharma. 
 
Sharma told the financial daily that using Belong, recruiters have rolled out over 100 offers in the past nine months, typically for senior engineering and product roles. 
 
"We saw many of our friends, startup founders and others always saying, 'I would like to work with people I will enjoy working with and make an impact'. We are meant to belong, especially somewhere, where we spend 70% of our lifetime working," Sharma said.

Here’s why it is important to list your skills carefully on the internet, if you’re looking for a job

The Indian team led by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/4001/4057">MS Dhoni</a> to contest the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007 went from being rank outsiders - the oldest player of that squad was Ajit Agarkar at 29 and there were nine under the age of 25 - but ended up winning the trophy to change the landscape of world cricket. 
 
On the seventh anniversary of India's glorious five-run win, gocricket.com casts an eye on the XI that took the field on that memorable day of September 24, 2007, when they beat Pakistan in Johannesburg to lift the trophy, and how their international careers panned out since. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/gautam-gambhir/4001/4043">Gautam Gambhir</a> 
 
The left-hand top-order batsman from Delhi used the 2007 World Twenty20 to pitchfork himself back into Test plans, scoring 227 runs in the tournament with a best of 75 in the final. His first Test since December 2005 came a few months after the World Twenty20, and by mid-2008 Gambhir was chosen as opening partner to Virender Sehwag. Gambhir’s Test and ODI careers were successful until early 2013, when he was axed from all formats following a prolonged slump. He last played an ODI in January 27 and was handed a Test recall this summer in England, but 25 runs in four innings could have closed the curtains on his career. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/yusuf-pathan/4001/4096">Yusuf Pathan</a> 
 The older Pathan brother was handed a debut in the 2007 World Twenty20 final, as opener alongside Gambhir, and was a common feature in India's ODI and T20 teams until early 2012. He enjoyed much success with <keyword id="13802" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rajasthan-Royals">Rajasthan Royals</keyword> in the <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> and has won two titles with Kolkata Knight Riders. Yusuf, 31, played 57 ODIs and 22 T20Is for India. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/robin-uthappa/4001/4093">Robin Uthappa</a> 
 
Uthappa had an amazing run in the 2014 IPL, scoring 660 runs, which was the most runs scored by an Indian batsman in a single edition of the tournament. That earned him a recall to India's ODI squad after six years, but an average tour of Bangladesh has again sidelined him, though he did lead India A in Australia this summer. On the domestic front, Uthappa had a strong 2013-14 season, scoring 374 runs in five Ranji Trophy games for Karnataka and 538 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/yuvraj-singh/4001/4021">Yuvraj Singh</a> 
 Dropped from the ODI team after a poor tour of South Africa in December, Yuvraj last played for India in the ICC World Twenty20 in April, where he managed just one half-century in five innings and was widely criticised for his go-slow innings in the final against Sri Lanka. A decent IPL followed for <keyword id="6354506" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Royal-Challengers-Bangalore">Royal Challengers Bangalore</keyword> (376 runs, five wickets) but it wasn't enough to earn Yuvraj a place in India's ODI squad for Bangladesh or India. Have we seen the last of the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup? 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/4001/4057">MS Dhoni</a> 
 Undoubtedly the biggest gainer from 2007. Given the captaincy of the T20 side without any domestic leadership experience, Dhoni led the side to glory and the rest, as they say, is history. He has since captained India to the 50-over World Cup and No 1 in Tests, apart from enhancing his reputation as arguably the best limited-overs finishers. Dhoni's success with IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings - they have won two IPL titles as well as the <keyword id="56308" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Champions-League-Twenty20">Champions League Twenty20</keyword> - has helped him become the richest cricketer around. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/rohit-sharma/4001/4095">Rohit Sharma</a> 
 
Rohit made his T20I debut at the age of 20 during the 2007 tournament, after getting an ODI call a couple months earlier, but the talent shown at a young age has not fully been realised. He has been in and out of all three formats for India, despite becoming the third batsman to score an ODI double-century. Rohit, now 27, still has time on his side to prove that he belongs at Test level. Looks a certainty to tour Australia and New Zealand, injury aside, for next year's World Cup. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/irfan-pathan/4001/4048">Irfan Pathan</a> 
 
With Yuvraj, probably the second-most naturally talented Indian cricketer of the last decade. But like Rohit, the allrounder from Baroda has not lived up to the huge expectations. Irfan was Man of the Match in the 2007 World Twenty20 final but has since played only 16 T20Is, the last of which came in October 2012. With his pace dropping and a series of injuries taking their toll, Irfan has been relegated to domestic cricket and the IPL, but recently stated that he'll be back in India blue. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/harbhajan-singh/4001/4008">Harbhajan Singh</a> 
 
India's No 1 spinner in 2007 (he took seven wickets at the tournament), Harbhajan is today looking for way back into India's plans. The veteran offspinner, who has 413 wickets from 101 Tests, is currently out of the Indian squad. The 33-year-old last represented India in a Test match a year ago, while in ODIs his last match was in July 2011. His last T20I was in September 2012. 
 
<keyword id="111751" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Joginder-Sharma">Joginder Sharma</keyword> 
 Who can forget Joginder for his last over against Pakistan in the final? Two evenings after he was given the final over and dismissed <keyword id="6377175" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Michael-Hussey">Michael Hussey</keyword> and Brett Lee to clinch India passage into the final of the World Twenty20, Joginder was again entrusted with the last six balls with Pakistan needing 13 runs to win. A wide and a six later, Joginder created history. Cruelly, that was the last time Joginder represented India. He has since plied his trade for Haryana, successfully overcoming a life-threatening injury to make a return for his state. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/sreesanth/4001/4088">S Sreesanth</a> 
 A sad tale of a real talent gone astray. The Kerala fast bowler, who bowled some telling spells in South Africa, was handed a life ban by the <keyword id="6354756" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="BCCI">BCCI</keyword> last year for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing during the IPL, though he insists he was totally honest and non-corrupt. An international career that lasted just 27 Tests, 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is seems one truly unfulfilled for arguably the most naturally skilled Indian fast bowler to emerge since Zaheer Khan. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/rp-singh/4001/4061">RP Singh</a> 
 
The left-arm seamer from Uttar Pradesh played a huge role in India's success in South Africa with 12 wickets at an economy rate of 6.33, with his spells against South Africa and Pakistan being the best he's bowled in Twenty20. A couple successful IPL seasons hinted at much more after RP struggled with injuries and form, but he has not played for India since he was shockingly recalled for a Test in England when holidaying in Miami. RP remains a central figure for UP in domestic cricket.

Lalbhais is the most rooted business family in Ahmedabad. <keyword id="192475" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kulin-Lalbhai">Kulin Lalbhai</keyword>, who belongs to the family, had a tough time when he decided to move to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bengaluru+">Bengaluru </a>for his new venture. He had to go through a series of disapprovals, but the 29-year-old finally moved out with his wife and daughter. 
 Many thought he made this move because he split up with the family, but Kulin disagrees. He says, “It's nothing like that. My family is very dear to me I'm still in Ahmedabad at least once a month. But I realised I need to be in <keyword id="6354321" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bengaluru">Bengaluru</keyword> 90% of the time for this venture. It's a sacrifice for all of us." 
 
He told Economic Times that how his family business always had a major presence in Bengaluru, but the family never felt the need of having someone based over there. 
 The garment brand’s major manufacturing has been done in Bengaluru and the CEO of <keyword id="589879" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arvind-Lifestyle">Arvind Lifestyle</keyword> has traditionally operated from the city. But in its expansion plan, the another creation, Arvind Internet has now started creating an ‘omni-channel’ that combines the group's physical retail presence with eCommerce and the leadership needs here are very different from the garment business. 
 
"The tech business is driven by entrepreneurial energy," says Kulin. 
 
"It's not easy attracting people, putting together a team. You need to be there yourself, to lead them," he added. 
 
It’s not just about Lalbhais, over the past couple of years, most of the ambitious and young enthusiasts have shifted their base to the city. 
Recently, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Paytm-founder-may-permanently-shift-his-base-to-Bengaluru-Know-why/articleshow/48855924.cms">Paytm founder Vijay Sharma</a> made and announcement that he is planning to move to Bengaluru. 
 
Kunal Shah of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Freecharge">Freecharge</a>, Pranay Chulet, of Quikr and Pankhuri Shrivastava, founder of Grabhouse are three Mumbai entrepreneurs who moved to Bengaluru recently. Shah has lived in Mumbai all his life. "My operations were in Bengaluru anyway and I was spending 60% of my time there. Any change is hard, but I think this change will be good for me. When you're creating a disruptive business, you're better off being away from the old companies," Shah says. 
 
"You have to be here if you need tech talent," says Pranay Chulet, founder of Quikr. "In Mumbai, we could find marketing people, but we were not able to hire enough engineers. Since I've moved to Bengaluru, I've plugged into the local ecosystem and created a team of 200 engineers." <keyword id="1417134" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shishir-Baijal">Shishir Baijal</keyword>, MD Knight Frank India estimates that the cost of housing here is half that of Mumbai and commercial space is 40% cheaper. 
 
While Quikr found it hard to attract engineers from Bengaluru to Mumbai, it had no problem at all persuading its existing tech team to move to Bengaluru. Maybe it's the opportunity to work with like-minded people that are reimagining business or maybe it's the weather, but young engineers are all too happy to move to Bengaluru. 
 The city's ecosystem includes venture capitalists (VCs), startup accelerators, social impact funds and an urban market that serves as an experimentation lab. When <keyword id="250677" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vishal-Bali">Vishal Bali</keyword> quit his job as the CEO of <keyword id="735105" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fortis-Healthcare-International">Fortis Healthcare International</keyword> in Singapore to turn entrepreneur last year, he decided to locate his company, Medwell Ventures, in Bengaluru. He has since bought Nightingales, a local home healthcare company, and is expanding it pan-India. 
 
"Technology will play a major role in healthcare in the future, which is why many new healthcare start-ups are in Bengaluru," he says. "The city is also good for proof of concept. We were able to prove our idea works in Bengaluru. We couldn't have done this if we started in a city like Mumbai, where the cost of learning is high."
