Interesting Entrepreneur: Rajeev Kher

Rajeev Kher is a little different from  the other Entrepreneurs from India. After completing his Masters in Business studies, when he wanted to start his own business he didn't choose any of the modern trendy technical ones. Instead he chose the Mobile Toilet Business!!!

After completing his studies, Kher was not able to convince the banks with his idea of Mobile Toilets business. So with the little fund from his father, who was a former army officer, Kher started his compnay - the Sharmik Sanitations Systems (3S) in Pune, with vision to sell, lease and market portable toilet units in India.

After the initial struggles to get customers, today they have installed about 1000 portable toilet cabins across the country. They also provide the utility services to clean the wastes at regular intervals.

In a country where thousands of little kids die of diarrhea and most of the people still defecate in the open, Kher's idea might not solve the problem completely but surely gives some hope of things getting better - especially in events like public exhibitions, pilgrimages, construction sites, etc.
