Could you tell us briefly about your family background?

Working Life Management:

Everyday I have 2 options in front of me, 1st option if I take it, I will be comfortable and the 2nd option if I take it, I am sure I will fail. As per my decision I will take the 2nd option, which gives me butterflies in my stomach, but lot of satisfaction in my heart

Role Model:

My Family and all the great people who are giving their best, irrespective of where they stand in the society!

Prized Accomplishment(s):

With my vast experience in sales, one thing I understood is that startups and small businesses are struggling with their sales and marketing and I saw a need to be fulfilled. That’s why I started Startupfreak.com, which caters to all the doubts that a startup can have. We are helping startups to grow in India with all the whys, what’s and how to’s about startup.

The Journey So Far:

it’s is just great to meet all the wonderful people who took a pledge to crystallize their dream. Obviously my everyday is freakingly awesome!

Growth Strategy:

Life is a beautiful gift we have and we don’t have much time to make a difference in other peoples life – and business is all about other people. What motivates me is that through whatever business I start, I can make a difference in society, in whatever small way possible.

Advice For New Professionals:

They say the biggest fear after Death is the Fear of Failure, but when you make up your mind to fail…. life suddenly becomes awesome. Though you listen to same people, see the same Facebook updates, have the same routine life…. the only thing you notice out of all this daily clutter is the optimism of life, you get a whole new perspective of the things – your mind thinks out of the box.

The Decisions That Matter

I realized that every moment I spend on this planet is precious and must not be wasted. Life meaning is not the destination, but the quest itself. It’s the journey of life to discover the best we can who and what we are and what we’ll become. I come to believe in the notion of re-incarnation. I think probably we do come back in all kinds of different experiences and lifetimes, because one life time is not enough, there is a continual process of learning, growing and developing and all the ancient religions say that eventually we reach a moment where we do transcend.
