    Being an Actor for almost 10 years into the television industry I always thought of doing something different to explore the corporate world. It was always in my mind to start something at a very young age so to challenge my ability and to the people who tried exploiting and suppressing my talent when I was in an internship for 5 months into an ex-company, I realized my potential and left the company with the audacity to start something of my own. I have seen many at times how do interns get exploit in some of the companies and to be very honest I had a fascinated experience as an intern which build up the potential in me to set up an organisation and grow as a PR Entrepreneur apart from Acting.
