In this episode, we sit down with Vivek Raina, CEO & Co-founder of Excitel, one of India's major broadband players.

Vivek's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Forced to flee his home during the 1990s Kashmir exodus, he went from living in a big house in Srinagar to a one-room camp in Jammu. Despite the hardships, his focus on education never wavered. Though passionate about philosophy, his father insisted on engineering—leading him to a career that would later revolutionize India's broadband industry.

After working with top companies like Hathway, Reliance Communications, and Digicell, Vivek identified the gap in India’s urban broadband infrastructure. He co-founded Excitel with a mission to provide high-speed, affordable internet, shifting India’s primary entertainment source from cable TV to the internet.

From 1 lakh users in the first year to over 10 lakh in a decade, Excitel has grown into a ₹600 Cr turnover company, shaping the future of India's internet landscape.
