Why did you opt for entrepreneurship?

I saw a problem that was affecting everyone but no one ever picked it up. There was a gap between donors and NGOs. Donors were not aware of the requirements of NGOs. I felt for the problem, researched about it and decided to solve it myself.

The whole industry works on trust. The firsts are the toughest to get as it requires pretty much good convincing power to gain the trust of someone without having any records or data to back up yourself.

What was your biggest road block?

The whole industry works on trust. The firsts are the toughest to get as it requires pretty much good convincing power to gain the trust of someone without having any records or data to back up yourself. Since my idea was new for everyone, it was tough for me to get that first client, first customer, first partner on-board.

What was most inspiring in your journey?

Those small moments when I see my startup going further in the direction where I want it to go makes it all worth it. Each time I get a step further and achieve a milestone, it gives me that sense of satisfaction and happiness that keeps me going.
