Bootstrapped Startups

Chirag is just great! Had an awesome talk, straight to the point and really useful. Received precious advice and got a really new 'consumer' point of view of my business that I never had before. I strongly recommend.

Chirag is an extremely forward thinking and entrepreneurial person. He has a strong passion for business and is extremely driven to reach and exceed goals, both person and professional. Chirag approaches all challenges presented to him as an opportunity learn and better himself, while successfully overcoming the challenge. I enthusiastically recommend Mr. Kulkarni as an excellent partner, team member, or co-founder of any business seeking to further improve their company by the addition of such a talented individual.

Based on meeting with Chirag on several occasions, I was immediately impressed with his passion for business, the amount of success he has already achieved at a young age and his ability to "think big." He learns by doing and he learns by researching what others have done to succeed...and fail...and how they learned from that failure. Chirag is very advanced in his thinking and business skills and will be featured on leading business magazine cover sometime soon! He is also very "human" which is ultimately what will ensure is long-term success.

Chriag is a passionate, innovative entrepreneur. I have had the honor of knowing him for more than two years and it amazes me how well connected and well grounded Chirag is. I have witnessed him lead multiple start-ups with the maturity of a seasoned leader. He is fast to support a colleague in time of need and is very interested in solving the big world challenges.

Chirag is one of those one in a million students that you know you will be reading about some day. He has the entrepreneurial spirit and a passion to help others succeed as well as meet his life goals. Chirag is an excellent listener taking nuggests from those that have been there and done it and using these lessons learned to develop a roadmap for his future. He is way beyond his years in maturity, soft skills, energy,tenaciousness, paying it forward and a focus on his future. He will be an excellent resource on any team he is a part of both in college, internships and his future ambitions.

Chirag is different from other people his age. While many millenials dream of "changing the world" one day, most lack the daring, the work ethic, or the vision to really effect change in the way the world functions.

The thing about Chirag that is most impressive is not the success he has achieved at a young age, but the fact that in addition to being a high-level visionary leader, he also has both feet firmly planted in the principles of pragmatism and reality-a quality sorely lacking in most would-be entrepreneurs that ultimately leads to their undoing.

At Northeastern University, Chirag made impact that probably few faculty at the school could even say they have achieved as a founding member of TEDx Northeastern. By helping to founding TEDx Northeastern, an organization dedicated to ideas worth spreading, Chirag exemplified this stand-out blend of visionary thinking mixed with utmost pragmatism that I have previously mentioned.

Chirag Kulkarni will be a name that we hear often in the future for all the right reasons. If I ever was in a position to hire Chirag, I would pick him to be on my team every time.f
