He was always interested in business and wished to build something of his own. While academically, he had a regular cycle with completing his high school and then pursuing BBA from a prestigious university. His college life helped him understand the theoretics of business management. Later on, he joined a multinational company in Noida and had his fair share of corporate life. While he was just on par with most of his colleagues, he knew he wanted to do something more and something better. While talking to his seniors, he understood that climbing up the corporate ladder would take a humongous amount of effort and a very long tenure with no assurity of actually reaching the position he aimed for. He had a realization that this is not something he wants from his life; he wanted to get on top faster, even if it takes more effort.
