Mr Dipender Singh began his entrepreneurial journey straight after graduation when he started selling computer consumables.

In 2007 he saw a huge opportunity in biotechnology and got sole distribution of MIDI Sherlock Microbial Identification Systems to cater to product requirements of various life science laboratories in India and 27 other countries. In 2017, he also became an accredited vocational training partner for Life Science Sector Skill Development Council.

 

In conversation with GlobalLinker (GL), Mr Dipender Singh (DS) shares his business journey.

 

GL: You have been an entrepreneur for more than three decades. Share with us what motivated you to embark on this journey.

DS: I am a first-generation entrepreneur and have always had a penchant for introducing innovative products in the market. I started my career just six months after graduating, in 1986 by selling computer consumables. In 1987, we were the first to start refilling dot matrix ribbon in Andhra Pradesh. In 1989, I went to Germany and got the technology and fabricated machines to manufacture the same, which was again the first unit in the state. Simultaneously, I started importing computer peripherals.   

In 2007, foreseeing the opportunity in the biotechnology industry, I took up sole distributorship of MIDI Sherlock Microbial Identification Systems for India and 27 other countries. I even set up the sole contract lab in Asia for providing their services and are getting repeated samples from India and abroad.

In 2017, I ventured into skilling through the Ministry of Skill Development. We are an accredited vocational training partner of the Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council.

 

GL: What has been the most effective way of raising awareness about your business?

DS: Conferences and seminars are effective means for us to create more awareness about our products and business.
