He wanted independence that he could only get by being in a business. He had the strong urge to create something, do something different. He wanted to be his own boss – doing own things and setting his own priorities. At an early age of twelve years, Sanjeev had a dream to start a company of his own. During his tenure in, Glaxo Smithkline, his colleagues reading the Business India from behind caught the attention of Sanjeev. At that time Business India was the No. 1 medium for appointment advertisement for managers. They were all looking for better job opportunities. It was the idea of a job database. Sanjeev quit his MNC job at Glaxo Smithkline in 1990 and started a company called InfoEdge. However, Info Edge was not an online recruitment service but was in the business of generating and selling databases, reports, and feasibility studies. The company was operating from the Servant’s quarters above the garage at Sanjeev’s home. For seven years the company did entry level salary survey and a few other sundry consulting assignments before launching naukri.com.
