“A New Approach to services”
Any entrepreneur can say that their so and so project was tough to pull off and pat themselves on the back. However sometimes the project is without doubt an incredible challenge and you have to stand and applaud for example; when your target audience is a jail full of convicts.
Ajay Vadhvani is the Founder entrepreneur behind Ajay Vadhvani Solutions and the man responsible for the successful launch of the Amzadd Habibb Academy in Tihar Jail, Jail No 6. This young entrepreneur has many a notch on his belt but this one undoubtedly stands out. We learnt more on Ajay from his company’s LinkedIn and Facebook Account descriptor…
“In 2006, Ajay Vadhvani founded ajayvadhvani.com, which has today blossomed into Ajay Vadhvani Solutions — an integrated marketing agency. From handling just one client without any support staff, today the company boasts of a core team of more than 50 members across India.”
“With the financial backing of his elder sister Renu Vadhvani, in 2006, Ajay founded a New Delhi-based web agency called ajayvadhvani.com.”
“When the company’s first client, Jawed Habib, saw Ajay’s talent and skills, he went ahead and gave him the control of the IT Department, which deals in a avariety of spheres — from hardware training to deploying any software in the organisation. Jawed Habib recognised Ajay’s true potential, giving him the marketing of the North India region. Seeing his ability, Habibs, as a brand, started taking Ajay’s services in handling its marketing and sales.”
