Why did you decide to leave a stable engineering job to start your own construction company?
Replied bySanjeev Kumar
CEO at DTSS
Niche: Agencies
Revenue: Approx. 15 Million USD/month
Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Started: 1994
It was accidental. In 1997, a friend asked for help with a construction estimate because the quotes he received were double the actual cost. I helped him build the house and made three times my monthly salary in a week. That motivated me to withdraw my provident fund and start my own business.
