how did we resolve them
Our courses are extremely beneficial for learners. We just have to break the notion “why do I need more learning?”, and it’s not that tough.

14. Whom do you consider your idol or biggest motivator?
These days I am a great fan of Modi ji. One man had dreamt so big and attained so much height in such a small time frame.
15.What do you feel is the major difference between entrepreneurs and those who work for someone else?
Both entrepreneurs and corporate workers work hard, but entrepreneurship requires a 24 hour work mentality (especially during start up mode).
Most corporations have redundant roles, so if you miss a task or fail to do something there is a network in place to offset the error; as an entrepreneur you will need an extraordinary skill set and extraordinary stamina.
Corporate workers can be renaissance men or women – they can enjoy hobbies, sport, entertainment, music, etc., while a successful entrepreneur must be obsessed only with his or her idea or business model, especially early on.the employee only sees the immediate effect of his/her work, but the entrepreneur sees the long term effect of his work
The employee only see “what & how” he/she is doing, but the entrepreneur knows “why” he/she is doing what he’s doing.
The employee works with orders, but the entrepreneur is discretionary.
The employee lives in certainty, but the endevours of the entrepreneur is marked with uncertainties all round.
The similarity is that both of them get paid, but the difference is that, the employee get paid by the boss, but the entrepreneur pays his/herself. Haven tested both
16.If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?
I would be faster given the second chance and would love to repeat the similar concept.
17.How has being an entrepreneur affected your family & Social life?
From my childhood I had a dream to be entrepreneur. To develop/ innovate a product that is recognized by others and appreciated, gives extreme pleasure to the soul of any entrepreneur. So, happened to me while working for IIBM Institute. I am happy and satisfied and look forward to achieving new heights in education sector.
18.Anything, you would like to say to our readers or upcoming entrepreneurs?
To succeed – Hardwork in the right direction and vigorous passion to attain your goal is must. The upcoming entrepreneur themselves are so well educated and sharp that they just need guidance and they can do miracle. All the best to all the young buddies.
19. Tell us something about your education & family background.
An engineer by profession, I have a keen eye for market analysis and ability to gauge the gap in the present scenario. I have a passion to work in focused direction. My father has been a great inspiration to me and had always taught me to dream “BIG”. Innovation is the key that is his guru mantra.
