How did the entrepreneurial bug bite you?
When I was in the last year of my MBA I have decided to open a company, after that I have joined a start up , it was a small company and I have learned lots of things over there . So I got exposed to open a company accidentally. That was the best and most exciting part of my career.
What were the challenges before you while setting up this startup?
There were lot of challenges as we have started the company in Agra , so we were not getting the experienced candidates over here, there were lots of issues in hiring as no one from Noida, New Delhi or Gurgaon was ready to join us in Agra.
What are the challenges for startup companies setting up shop in India?
I don’t think there are challenges for startup companies to set up their shops in India.
