Being an MBA himself, he spoke about how he left the corporate ladder to build up to something of his own, and today, after 6 years, his company is currently the fastest growing digital marketing company in Mumbai.

Key Learnings:

  • Entrepreneurs are just people who identify problems in society and try to fix them.
  • Always research and evaluate your idea.
  • There is no set method of doing things in uncertainty. The trial and error method works best!
  • Create processes to delegate tasks to people around you.
  • Find your niche!
  • Treat your team as an ‘Asset’, not a ‘Liability’.
  • Never forget your small successes and failures in business because they will add value to your life.
  • Look for mentors who would guide you and give you good advice.
