Why shouldn't one be afraid to fail? Why failures are one of the most important and life changing events in the lives of ambitious people? 

Rahul is an IT entrepreneur from India who has failed many a times. But this does not stop him from learning and moving forward with his next venture or project. In a shrinking economy and a market of limited opportunities, Rahul comkes forward as a brave example for many entrepreneurs who wish to achieve a lot and might be reluctant to step out of their comfort zone. 

Rahul Joshi is a Partner and Director at Synthesys Solutions. After spending over a decade in US working in software research and development, he moved back to India to start his own venture in the area of legal software and services. Since then he has been part of failed ventures and started new ones, with his entrepreneurial spirit alive and well to keep him going. A strong proponent of it's never too late to start on the journey of entrepreneurship, he believes everyone has potential to make an impact however small to the greater benefit of the community. 
Rahul holds a Master's degree from LA Tech University in US and Bachelors in Mechanical engineering from Government College, Aurangabad. An occasional blogger he also regularly shares his experiences and learned skills in project management, enterprise application and communication through workshops and seminars at local colleges and institutions.
