– J.P. James, Founder
The Entrepreneurs Society was created as a result of the entrepreneurial struggles faced by founder, J.P. James. Through his experience and the wisdom of others, a common thread to growing successful ventures emerged.
The journey began in 1996 when James learned of and was inspired by entrepreneurial master Jignesh Shah, a multi-billionaire who founded Financial Technologies India Ltd. To James, the feat of building one successful business venture was never satisfactory. With his sights on building a global system to support entrepreneurs, the Entrepreneurs Society was born.
