Raised and bred in varied places like Rajasthan, Haryana and Guwahati, Accenture India chairman Avinash Vashishta has never ever settled down anywhere. �My grand father was a magistrate, while my father had a more entrepreneurial streak in him. He was a very big risk taker, though I am not one.�

He was always a topper in school and topped the CBSE board exams. But he was not automatically about to take the IIT route. �My dad wanted me to become a doctor. I gave the IIT exam a try, but my dad did not think I will take it up. When I got a telegram about my selection, I told my dad that I wanted to join IIT.�
