Entrepreneurship is not for the faint hearted. Starting and scaling up a venture is challenging and requires hard work and perseverance for success. Suman says “I used to have nothing to lose, but now that I have a lot to lose, I have a whole new perspective on this. Even at the top, you still have to act like you have nothing to lose. Regardless of financial stability or the size of the company/wealth —those people that take action and risk without the fear of failure are the ones who ultimately take market share.”
“If you want to be a winner, you can’t make success your goal. The key is to do something noteworthy, surely success will follow. If your work is your passion and fulfilling, the rest will come. My success today is due to the fact that my focus has been on sharing, learning, exploring and solutioning!”
