"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"
Rohit Malik the director and owner of DelhiEvents is a gritty soul who believed in his dreams and worked relentlessly towards their attainment. He started DelhiEvents.com as a small blog in 2005 and within a year turned it into a complete resource that today offers quality information about events online. It is one of the major sources of Delhi as well as NCR events and includes wide-ranging fields including arts, culture and entertainment while negative events (crime) are avoided.
The journey of Delhievents as a startup was not stress-free.

And, funding the venture without any aid from outside was another test. How Rohit Malik brought DelhiEvents so far and turned it into a success is a must-read.
