That he is ‘unlike the predictable’ is evident from some of his responses – we asked him about his role model and he said,  Vijay Mallya, and with a wink, added, “Purely for his hedonistic lifestyle”! Gasp!!! And when asked about a little known fact about him, he generously confided that Anoushka Shankar was his latest crush and that he loves to fight with Bangalore auto-rickshaw drivers!!!

No wonder then that he developed @mohitsaini, an app that relayed the recuperation stages of his ill cousin, Mohit Saini!!! Read on to know more about this maverick developer, otherwise called Vaibhav Saini.
