“A gentleman who was speaking ahead of me was talking about how people who start at 20-22 years of age chicken out. They start with a myopic aim and then chicken out and the next turn was mine and I was 22-23 years that time, so I thought it’s a good term to get associated with so I call myself chicken entrepreneur,” says Rupesh
