Rahul Sharma, the co-founder of Micromax, who is all set to marry Bollywood heartthrob Asin, describes himself as middle-class boy who made it big.

At 40, he is no longer a boy. But even after having co-founded a company that is valued at over three billion dollars, he says his life has not changed much except for the money.

Son of school principal, Rahul Sharma studied engineering at Nagpur, where he met his three other co-founders - Rajesh Agarwal, Sumeet Arora and Vikas Jain.

After graduating in 2000 they opted against a corporate job and decided to strike out on their own, and started Micromax. A decade later their company had emerged as one of India’s largest handset makers, which is now furiously diversifying.

Along the way Rahul Sharma met Asin, reportedly through Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, both brand ambassadors of Micromax.

In 2013, Rahul Sharma and Asin were seen in public for the first time, and reportedly fell out a year later, before coming together again to cement their relationship.

Staying rooted to basics seems to be Rahul Sharma's secret recipe.  Micromax does not do market surveys or focus groups. To understand what people want, Rahul Sharma still works as a salesman at a few select outlets, once a while.
