Bit by the Entrepreneurial Bug

It has become a common trend for young and ambitious Thai-Indians to pursue a career beyond what their parents
have established for them. These ruthless go-getters are not afraid of failures or change. They work hard, sometimes
balancing multiple jobs, to keep their heads above water. In this issue, you’ll meet tech head turned entrepreneur Sajan
Khanijou, who is an astounding example of such an individual. Read more about his new business venture, Beerlicious in Masala Magazine
our exciting cover story, ‘Beer Necessities,’ on page 14.
Another ambitious self-starter is Roshni Srikureja, a 31-year-old certifi ed clinical and general hypnotherapist who

profession to pursue a path of spirituality. Read more about her journey to self-discovery in our In Focus feature, ‘The 85/3 Sukhumvit Soi 12, Klongtoey,
Spiritual Awakening’ (page 27). Don’t forget to browse through other articles as well, as we bring you more fashion Bangkok 10110 Thailand.
