क्या जिस विचार की आप तलाश कर रहे हैं, वह पहले से आपके आसपास है? | Jiwandeep Singh Ghai (JD Ghai) | TEDxSukhna Lake

TEDxSukhna Lake में दिए गए इस भाषण में Jiwandeep Singh Ghai (JD Ghai), SantaBanta.com के संस्थापक और CEO, भारत के शुरुआती मनोरंजन पोर्टलों में से एक की यात्रा साझा करते हैं। हास्य के प्रति लगाव, एक पार्टी में हुई साधारण बातचीत और उभरते इंटरनेट में रुचि से एक डिजिटल व्यवसाय बना, जिस तक लाखों लोग पहुँचे। वे पारिवारिक रियल एस्टेट व्यवसाय से डिजिटल मनोरंजन की दुनिया में आने के अपने सफ़र के बारे में भी बताते हैं। उनका संदेश है कि विचार अक्सर रोज़मर्रा के अनुभवों में पहले से मौजूद होते हैं।

Where do great ideas come from? And what if the idea you're looking for is already hidden in your everyday experiences? In this engaging talk, JD Ghai takes us through the unexpected journey behind his venture, one of India's early digital entertainment platforms. What began with a love for humour, an ordinary conversation at a party and a curiosity about the emerging internet eventually became a business that reached millions of people.
