After successfully launching more than 18+ products, in just a couple of years, they recognized that most of the startups rupture because they mostly pay towards and invest in technology and product creation. The central focus of actually knowing how to develop a brand that sells or develops a strategic go-to-market strategy is majorly ignored. It is obvious that hiring a naive business strategist who has absolutely no knowledge of brand implementation or hiring the design companies to work on the brands that have zero idea of business execution is a waste of resources.

• Practice a Creative Skill – “Sometimes one’s job does not push their creative self, so it becomes crucial to invest time to indulge into something you enjoy. It could range from painting, dancing or even playing an instrument. When the mind is allowed to wander, it gives you fresh ideas and the opportunity to find new perspectives, which in turn also boosts performance at work.  I personally love to paint, write and continue my journey with Graphic Designing, which gives me the canvas to explore design in unique and diverse styles.”
• Frequent Catch-ups – “With frequent meetings with my team and clients, I am in touch with the aspects where we are excelling and the points where we need to push a little harder. It not only keeps me informed, but allows me to foresee certain results and give a chance to actively do problem solving.”
• Stay focused – “My vision is very task-driven and result oriented, which is the core reason for my timely and efficient working style. As much as I enjoy taking up multiple projects and challenging myself to do something new, I make sure to focus on delivering the best quality of work.“
• Curiosity – Being curious is a sign that you are constantly learning, making one more resilient. The curiosity for developing new angles to my business keeps me going and learning new techniques. I am an avid reader and never stop learning.
