However, I fell in love with the Startup ecosystem much later around 2015 when I was traveling all across the country to attend entrepreneurship summits in IITs, NITs, IIMs to listen, network with entrepreneurs building Startups and I just got hooked to this world. I love to execute things at Godspeed. “Fail”- “Learn”- ‘’Rise’’- ‘’Repeat’’(My Single Line Resume) As I read a lot so I write as well.
