Why did you choose to open your business and why this specific type of industry?

I have always been passionate about communication and advertising. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I always wanted to be one. I combined my passion with my tradition and ended up founding a successful communication company in India. 

How did your time at UHart impact your knowledge and decision around opening your own business?

My time at UHart has had the biggest impact in my life. The experience at UHart turned me into a leader. UHart gave me ample opportunities to lead. These experiences gave me some valuable lessons in business leadership. I had a great opportunity to be part of exchange programs in various other countries, which gave me international exposure. The very personalized approach faculty take helped me understand the fundamentals of business that I still apply at my organization. Even after a decade, one UHart professor still answers my question whenever I send him an email.

Do you have any advice for new entrepreneurs?

Always keep learning from every experience you get, improve your strategy, and try again. Patience, persistence, and hard work lead to all the answers.
