When Adris Chakraborty moved from Mumbai to New York for a banking job, over two decades ago, he never imagined he would soon embark on an entrepreneurial journey. However, what started as a survival strategy eventually yielded rich rewards.
“I began my professional journey in banking, finance, and foreign exchange research in India before moving to New York," he recollects.
“One of the toughest moments was losing my banking job within a few months of arriving in the US. With no network or safety net, that challenge became the catalyst for my entrepreneurial journey.”
Today, alongside his wife Poulami Mukherjee, he has evolved into a successful entrepreneur, building businesses across media, advertising, and technology.
