Interviewed by The Success Today – A Digital Webzine.
As a child, were you certain that when you grow, you will become an Entrepreneur? If yes, then what was the reason?
- No, As a child I never planned to be an entrepreneur, hailing from a poor background it was always a question of how will I be able to even complete my high school when you are bound to the limits of expenditures it’s very challenging to even fulfill the daily needs. I had not even heard the name “Entrepreneur”
When did you actually think of pursuing your career as an Entrepreneur?
- It was in 2016 the first time when I thought of becoming Entrepreneur, that’s the time when I was working with Airbnb in Business development and I was put up in Goa. I met Mr. Brian the founder of Airbnb and he was the one through whom I got the motivation and influenced and that’s when I thought I m made to be an entrepreneur
Guide us about your journey after you became an entrepreneur.
- When I started, there were many challenges that I had to face as this was new for me but with the experience with Airbnb and my job at Taj gave me a lot of boost and confidence, I always connected the people who were established entrepreneurs, and started learning new things, understanding new strategies and implemented in my business. Slowly I was there, I built up my team and I was there with new concepts and business, I would lift my head high as an entrepreneur, 5 years back when I look at the salary I would take home, 100 times that salary I paying my teammates today. This brings the charm to my face now.
What was the biggest challenge you faced in your life and how did you overcome it?
- Every entrepreneur goes through a lot to become a successful one, yes I also had my struggles. when you start the journey of entrepreneurship and the biggest task is to make family and society believe in you and your capability luckily my friends who are like my brother Swapnil always supported and stood by me, he always made sure that I never loose my confidence and belief system.
