    Prime Time With Kunal Shah, Founder Freecharge

    In this episode of Prime Time, Amit Somani talks to Kunal Shah, founder of FreeCharge. Kunal Shah doesn't need an introduction! He is the man behind online mobile recharge platform, Freecharge. He is on a mission to make every Indian who owns a smartphone to use Freecharge every week. Nearly 14 years ago, when Shah started as a junior programmer at a startup, this was unimaginable. Kunal became financially independent at 16, selling T-shirts, mixed tapes and even teaching internet courses. After acquiring a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Mumbai's Wilson College in 2000, he briefly studied MBA before dropping out to become an entrepreneur. Shah initially started a company called PaisaBack that offered cashback promotions for organised retailers. After observing the potential of online recharges in an emerging market, he then founded FreeCharge in 2010 along with Sandeep Tandon. In April 2015, FreeCharge was acquired by Snapdeal for an estimated amount of $450 million. Kunal remains on the board as Chairman of FreeCharge. He is also an active adviser to entrepreneurs and has made over a dozen angel investments. He is also an avid student of behavioral economics and a poker player. In this podcast, Kunal speaks exclusively to Amit about his journey from Paisaback to FreeCharge and what holds next for him.
