About Founder
Harshit had an early start to his entrepreneurial journey with the inception of Universal Hunt as a brand in October 2007. He describes himself as a techno-commercial with a strong background of Chemical Engineering and an MBA in Finance. He quit his other job in 2007 and plunged into entrepreneurship. He started Universal Hunt Pvt Ltd with just 13 members.

The four smaller companies were created so that each niche sector and the location could be given focused attention and customised solutions. Overall, the clients are not force fed with one size fits all solutions and that is the USP of the thought process of Universal Hunt as a brand.
