Say something about your beginning

As a child I was the most carefree, mischievous kid in the family… Slowly things started to change with time. My extrovert nature helped me reach out to Customers with ease & responsibilities turned me into credibility that was visible through my work as a manager & now in all the projects. After working for 22+ years under various roles in different markets taught me agility, understand Customer needs and conduct business fearlessly but with ethics.

Starting up was never easy like many other Entrepreneurs, faced many challenges but that never put me on back foot rather these challenges pushed me even further closer to my goals set by me. During my journey on the way got many opportunities to work with many likeminded professionals and create an eco-system. I believe if we can come together, we can achieve & win together
