Innovation is definitely the only differentiating factor that can propel you as a leader but to maintain it one needs perseverance. Believing in this and my ideas I strive to strengthen my ideas by continually improving them and getting expert guidance through different channels.

Plans For The Future:

A satisfied entrepreneur with a company that is making substantial growth.

Done Differently:

When I see back I find all the dots connecting perfectly, going to an engineering college meeting different kind of people from different places, daring to take odd step and determination to walk those steps. It all gives me immense motivation keep my journey on, there is still a long way to go :)

Advice For New Professionals:

Be focused and never fear of what people will say have faith in your thoughts and idea but always be logical and calculative in every step that you take.
