Thanks eChai Ventures for having me as a speaker and thanks Jatin Chaudhary for building this beautiful community.

Every time I share my journey, I am reminded of all that I had to let go in order to be where I am.
.
But, when I look back, I feel everything was worth it and I'd do it all over again πŸ˜€ my mistakes were mine and it's proof that I did it, I tried, I learnt and I grew!
.
Every meet up they ask me, have you failed? Oh yes! I have failed a million times, and I still fail daily in a lot of places, but after failing, I cry, get disappointed, take a break but then once again, ask for help, try another way, do more research and keep trying till I succeed.
.
Have I given up? Yes, I have. There are times when you know giving up on that particular idea is making more sense, then you give up and work on something else.
.
So yes I am where I am because of my mistakes, failures and flaws but I've moved forward with my persistence and determination 🩷
.
A warm hug to myself, for we often forget to appreciate ourselves πŸ’•

WE ARE NO DIFFERENT

Every #sharktank featured event I go to, they put us on a pedestal.

Last meeting organised by eChai Ventures for young and aspiring entrepreneurs, the first thing I did was change those high seats to seats the same as the others.

It relaxed the whole group and they felt inclusive immediately, of course, Ravi Mathur and Agnim Gupta were also game and three of us immediately became one with the group.

Three of us shared our journeys, visions, wins and most importantly our failures. It is absolutely crucial to understand that our success is only after a series of failures.And, we still have a long way to go.

So walk, fall, get up, relearn and this time RUN. It was such a successful moment when the listeners at the end came up to us and said that they felt we were as normal as them and if we could, so could they.

But, here’s a little secret. I too look up to some legendary entrepreneurs and it feels like they are different, but this was a sweet reminder that we can be whoever we want to be if we put in all our efforts.

So who do you want to be like? Do share your hero with me.
