Two technology entrepreneurs from India set to realise fortunes from floating the world's biggest online poker site are friends who met at university and took a risk on a new gambling venture eight years ago.
Anurag Dikshit, 34, owns 40 percent of PartyGaming, worth over $3 billion if the company realises its expected valuation of $8-10 billion.
Vikrant Bhargava, 32, owns 15 percent, which should be worth at least $1 billion when the stockmarket flotation takes place by the end of this month in London.
PartyGaming operates the PartyPoker site and has been at the forefront of a surge in the popularity of online poker.
For $3 Billion I could live with a name like Dikshit
