Take Risks in Your Life If you Win, U Can Lead! If You Lose, You Can Guide!
I started with a very humble background. My father came to the city from the village. He studied and worked hard and established himself as a good banker and great man to support his family. I grew up looking at him and was astonished with his abilities to do a variety of things irrespective of his background. For me it is a life lesson, that life is about a continuous learning process and experience is the best teacher. My mother also has a significant role in my growth. She always supported me in whatever endeavor I wanted to pursue. Support is something very important, especially when things are unpredictable and you are taking risks.Doing my masters was a great learning experience. That enriched me not only in terms of academic growth but it improved my personality overall. It taught me about struggles, determination, perseverance and persistence to achieve success.
When things are going smooth there are times when you are shaken up. At that point you have two choices. Either get shattered and be miserable or bounce back and come out stronger. I had few such occasions in my life. I chose to bounce back and come out stronger. Another lesson that I learned from all this is that "You can't calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.". This does happen.
Moving back to India from the US was not an easy decision to make. But my belief is if you are good at something, place does not matter. You will always find a path for success. I truly believe in this.
Finally, I believe in this simple philosophy. Surround yourself with smart and humble people and in return you will grow yourself exponentially. Joining DevRev is one such decision to surround myself with smart and humble people and I am sure in return I will grow exponentially. The sky's the limit.
