Just like any other newcomer in the business world, my path too was not a bed of roses and I have had to go through many trials and errors in life to ultimately make it in the entrepreneurial world.

The pandemic may have changed many things for many people, but my ventures have always tried to sail through the rough waters by being in the trend of the changing times. With more work across social media platforms and initiatives under my companies, my firms and I have been trying our best to reach more and more people and make every possible effort to make it huge in its respective space.

The use of social media platforms and the digital world as a whole is the new normal according to me. This is a trend that may never go out of fashion and is here to stay. Apart from that, being innovative and coming up with unique ideas and concepts have always attracted people, this is also what will help firms across industries.
