Riya pathak: I took a break from my usual grind to host a marketing event with

I took a break from my usual grind to host a marketing event with eChai Ventures, and it reminded me why stepping out of your comfort zone can be so rewarding.

As the founder of Vinaayak Digital my days are packed with helping Businesses with their marketing and media needs.

But occasionally, I get to dive into something different – like hosting events. And let me tell you, I absolutely love it!

This particular event was special for me. I had the pleasure of engaging with two incredible founders Vedant Sarda & Mitesh L Thakker and a dynamic audience. The energy in the room was fantastic, and the discussions were both insightful and inspiring.

Hosting events allows me to step away from my daily tasks, connect with amazing people, and learn new things.

It’s a refreshing change and a great reminder that it’s essential to make time for things you enjoy, even when life gets busy.

This experience reinforced a valuable lesson: don’t be afraid to try new things and follow your passions. Balancing work with what you love can bring a lot of joy and fulfillment.

So, whether you’re deep into your professional life or exploring a new hobby, embrace those opportunities that make you happy. They can be incredibly rewarding.
