A pioneer in India's tech, Vijay Shekhar Sharma represents the potential of the vision and spirit of entrepreneurship. He was born on 8th July 1978 in Aligarh and was the son of a schoolteacher. Vijay Sharma was the third child in a middle family of four. He was affected by the harsh economic disparity from a very young age. He founded Patym in 2010 with only 10 rupees in his pocket. And as we all know, Paytm has completely changed the landscape of digital banking in India. 

If we talk about his personal interests, Vijay admits he is not the World's best dancer, but he can't resist hitting the dance floor when his favourite tunes come out. He is a fan of everything from Indian Classical, Sufi, Hindi, and Punjabi, and he is a big fan of Elton John's Rocket Hour on Apple Music. He was a brilliant student and demonstrated academic excellence, which helped him gain admission to the Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University).
