A MAN OF AMBITION

By Punita Sabharwal

DHRUVIL SANGHVI, 32, Chief Executive Officer, LogiNext on building the Next in Logistics

Dhruvil’s tryst with entrepreneurship began quite early, being born in a family with a strong entrepreneurial lineage. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all involved in some kind of trading, manufacturing, or business of their own. As such, he spent much of his teenage years keenly observing & learning as his father went about running his business. He would often tag along, always eager to be on the frontline and trying to understand all aspects of the engagement first hand. The obvious choice would have been to join the family business but Dhruvil had other plans.
