<b>BS People: </b>Ved Prakash Arya

New paths

“An entrepreneur has to be an entrepreneur in all aspects of life.” That’s Ved Prakash Arya’s motto. So, be it work, fitness or just living life, he is constantly learning and developing new interests.

For instance, though not a religious man, he went on chardham yatra to enjoy nature. He runs the Mumbai half-marathon and next year wants to try a full 42-km marathon. It is the same spirit that prompted the MD & CEO of Milestone Capital Advisors, a private equity firm managing assets worth Rs 3,500 crore, to plan a public issue — the first independent PE firm to do so. Clearly, Arya likes to cross new milestones.
