2. What is the biggest challenge of being a CEO and how do you overcome it? 


Biggest challenge of being a CEO of Startup Company is to manage growth of the company and at same time managing people.  For example,

• Like-minded resource for a startup company

Till now that feeling have not come to give up being a CEO. But every day’s challenges providing us more confidence and motivation to become a successful CEO.  


5. Describe your biggest achievement


We managed to work with 12 resources and some of them were very long time projects. I feel it is a kind of achievement, being a startup company.


6. From where you get the idea for business?


There is a saying; Business is in blood of Guajarati people. 

After gathering some good technology and process exposure in IT industry, we thought to give a chance to ourselves to do something by own instead for the company we were doing job for.

And from that day we started thinking on how and what to start with. Though it was not very much straight forward thing for us, after around 8 to 10 months of juggling finally we were able to setup our company.


7. What was your aim to start the company?


We learnt that many of the startup companies provide services for either applications development or database development. But we had a combination of application and database. So with that advantage we started this company and fortunately from initials we started to receive projects on both the domains.


8. Tell us some of your failures


I would not say a failure, but at initial stage, when we were planning to start business we made few hurried decisions and paid for it as well. But every failure gives you some learning and with that learning we marched ahead with our business.



9. What is the role of your family in your successful career?


My family has always supported me in my decisions and stood as a backbone whenever I needed support.

 

10. What is your message to the young generations and to their parents?


My message to young generation is, just not to follow after money against skills. If you have skills and direction, money will surely come to you. Money is surely an important thing and we all are working for, but I personally feel ethics are more important than money. It might not provide you instant result but at long run you will see impact and result coming out of being an ethical person.
