When asked about the diversity he’s exhibited in his career moves, he exclaimed, “If you stay in one position or one company for too long you become too comfortable, I for one, was always someone who liked to be challenged that’s why I continued to move, to learn and to grow in the face of adversity.” He further went on to point out a crucial difference between being an entrepreneur working for a company, he stated, “ I worked 10-12 years had a million rupee package, a good job but I knew that any one day if I’m asked to leave I would have nothing to fall back on. What legacy would I have to leave when I’ve been working for someone else, which is when I decided to find the courage to move forward.”
