Formation of Patna IT Entrepreneurs Group (RITEG)
In 2001, few entrepreneurs from Patna’s IT Industry were called upon by Naren Bakshi, a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur from Jaipur, for an orientation about TiE. As a result an ad-hoc working group was formed to work towards achieving the TiE Jaipur Chapter status and thus a 6 member Patna IT Entrepreneurs Group (RITEG) was formed under the presidency of Rajesh Mundra. The other members of the RITEG were Ajay Data, Manuj Goyal, Keshav Sharma, Sunil Jain & A. Gupta.
