About the lecture:
From Vishesh Chachra: “I was educated in Engineering and Finance. I worked in sales, investment banking and corporate development. I am now a film and television actor with 30 Film/TV credits. Does that sound like a strange transition? It really wasn’t. Industries are similar. A career pursuit in the entertainment industry is simply a startup business. I will share how I used my business experience to methodically pursue my acting career.”
