What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

After two job switches I took a break in 2014. One year of self-reassessment, I decided to leave – law and follow my dreams of connecting with people and serving them. Meeting people, understanding their needs and helping them has always been a passion. Whether as a lawyer or entrepreneur that’s what I am doing.

What is your life mantra?

I believe that whatever happens, it is for a reason and that reason is always good.

What was the most challenging part of your journey till now?

There was the risk of leaving a lucrative job for starting my own venture that also with no experience or know-how. Also, there were lots of apprehensions and difficulties after post-incorporation of the Company.

How did you overcome those challenges?

Thankfully, being a lawyer I was aware of the formalities involving incorporation of a private limited company. However, there were lots of unanswered questions about how to get employees, initial financial hiccups, where to get clients and more. But, internet has made a lot of things easier. We were able to hire with the help of various job portals and connect with clients through social media platforms.
