Atin Dasgupta is a successful entrepreneur / artist based in Mumbai. A fine arts graduate from the reputed Sir JJ School of Arts in Mumbai, Atin believes that the entrepreneur of the future must be a designer first businessman later. A firm believer in the power of innovation and creativity, Atin has started many businesses in India from an executive search firm (Perfman HR), a private intelligence company (Alliance One Mumbai) and music educational training programmes for Mumbai's youth (Leveljam Computer Music Laboratory).
Atin keeps testing new service-oriented businesses in India's growing economy through the much-celebrated line of thought - Build cheaply, launch, iterate, test the market. But easy as it sounds, this approach requires lateral thinking, a good grasp of all aspects of business and least but not the least a solid understanding of what constitutes a great brand. Atin is well placed to now dip his toes into another uncharted territory in India and one which holds great promise - Cooking schools!
