Q: What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

A: It was my instinct. The call to become an entrepreneur came from within. I always thought to be self-employed as it gave me contentment in the truest sense. There’s a completely different feeling when you are your own boss. When you work for someone else, you have a fixed salary but when you work for yourself, your income is will always depend upon the kind of work you do.

Q: Tell us something about your work?

A: My main work is into the digital space. I have established a lot of start-ups and helped many firms to grow on social media. Every company needs to have its presence over the web, and I have mastered the art on how to give the brands the much-needed presence over the web. It’s all about how strategically you work. By God’s grace, I have been receiving the best work and I have got more than 300 clients from all over the world.

Q: Is social media the best career field for the millennials today?

A: (Smiles). Well, that depends on a person’s preference. But in today’s time, if you see, there has been an upward trend of social media. Teenagers are minting money in millions through apps like TikTok. Social media has also given birth to many influencers, which is the booming industry today. So yes, social media will always evolve with time and come up with new innovations.

Q: If not a digital expert, what alternate career plans did you have in your mind?

A: Honestly, I did not give any second thought. Probably I would have researched how to become a top digital expert (laughs). I think if not in the digital media, I would have been a businessman in some other field. Business runs in my veins. Having said that, I would have loved to start my own event management company.

Q: Any important advice to emerging entrepreneurs?

A: Take risks! The ultimate rule that goes in the business is higher the risks, higher the profits. People should never shy away from experimenting. Never hold back and never ever step up on someone else’s dreams to fulfil yours. And of course, to be safe, always have two plans. If Plan A does not work, you can have Plan B to fall back on.
