As co-founder of mobile marketing platform CleverTap, Anand Jain works with cutting-edge computing technology. But Jain and computers do go back a long way. Speaking to an online portal recently, Jain said he wasn’t much into academics while in school.
“I kept tinkering a lot. I would open up the iron box, refrigerator, TV, and try to put them back together. I learnt how to repair electronics like VCRs, cordless phones and calculators,” he said.
By the time he was 14, he had moved on to computers, he added. “I started doing things that were not only fun but also made money. And it helped me get my first PC in 1991, when I was in Class XI,” he said.
