Q3. What inspired you to start this business/ entrepreneurship?

§ The love for this field started when I was researching career options after my Graduation and decided to do Masters in Personnel Management followed with Post Graduate Diploma in Environment Management and Diploma in Training and Development.
Entrepreneurship means exploring without limits. And HR, OD (Organisation Development), Compliance, Payroll, Employee Engagement & Training is such a vast field to explore.

Q5. What kind of major challenges did you face while starting/doing business?

§ When we started back in 2011, not many SMEs understood the need of having a HR department, so forget about outsourcing it. And Mumbai being new city for me I was unable to reach out the target audience the way I should have. Also, unable to understand in what language should I explain my Target audience, learning no Jargon language was a new turn for me.

Q6. What were the financial challenges u had during start of Business and how did u manage?

§ It would be hard to believe if I say we started with almost “Zero” capital. Just a Laptop, Wi-Fi (internet) and Mobile is what I started with. Because it was minimum capital start hence minimum financial challenges did, I face.

Q7. Share with our readers most inspiring moment in this journey of entrepreneurship or Business journey?

§ Many small and big such moments have been motivating but to mention few.
During my pregnancy, doctor had asked to me to reduce my travel and hence I had to think of letting go far distant clients, but they didn’t want to leave taking consultation from me and hence they would use to travel till my office.

§ Also, during my maternity break, 1 organisation waited till I resume to outsource their HR department to me.

§ Once when our competitor hired us to deliver HR outsourcing project for their client and much appreciated our knowledge and hold in our industry.

Q8. Who is your role model or Inspiration in life personally or professional life?

§ My Father is my role model and a true Inspiration in personal & professional both lives. He is a Textile Engineer by qualification but for his health reason he had to opt to take up our ancestor’s farming. And the way he has transformed our ancestor’s farms and stood rock solid even during the times when we thought everything is over. I have learned a lot from him and will continue learning from him ever in my entire life.
