History
In 2001, Rajeish Moondraa, an Indian entrepreneur, organized a get together lunch, where he provided the guests with an introduction about TiE, the nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship. They decided to formulate a group, and initiate activities aimed towards fulfilling the norms for an independent chapter of TiE. As a result, an ad-hoc working committee of 6 members was formed, titled as Rajasthan IT Entrepreneurs Group (RITEG), and Rajeish Moondraa was designated as the President of RITEG. All members committed Rs. 50000/- towards formation of the group. On 11 January 2002 TiE Rajasthan chapter was launched with a ceremony, attended by the then Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, along with various other businesspeople from Silicon Valley like Kanwal Rekhi, Kailash Joshi, Vipin Shah, Naren Bakshi and Raj Desai among others.
