Then he got the idea that why not do something through online so that people can get help. But he was not yet completely satisfied, he still had a lot to learn for his work. That's why he thought about the job even without wanting to. Lessons learned from raising funding for an American company.
He wanted to do such a job which would be very challenging in his life and he got a lot to learn, so he chose an area where he had to face a lot of difficulties. He associated with the American company "AMF Bolling" and took the responsibility of bringing them to India. For Deep Kalra, it was starting to become very difficult for the AMF Bowling Company to collect investments in India. He wanted to expand AMF Bolling Company in India by any means but in India he was getting investors from very difficult conditions to invest in the company as well as he was facing all his challenges firmly. Deep Kalra faced troubles and difficult situations with this company for 4 years and finally said goodbye to the company after 4 years. He was not happy with his work at all. His goal was to set his own stage. He also wanted to set up his own business like AMF Bolling Company.
