Shanthi candidly tells us that,
“I have a wide variety of interests and get inspired and excited about lots of things. My inspiration for starting my own business as I always wanted to do something innovative rather than being idle. I knew therefore that a Digital Marketing & Branding business would tick all these boxes. In my perspective, Entrepreneurs are problem solvers. We are too obsessed about a problem statement, strongly believe that we can solve the problem and willing to go to any extend to do so.”
She takes inspiration from her mother, who has always encouraged her to work hard until the end result is met. During her time, she faced a lot of hardships, which taught Shanthi how to face and fight difficulties with ease. Being a woman entrepreneur at this age raised several eyebrows. Everyone around questioned her, according to them, this age is of taking it easy and not to indulge in taking risks in business. But like a true iron-lady she confidently focused on her goals and ignored the negativity around her.
She believes that to be successful, an entrepreneur must be resilient. Any comment that runs along the lines of “that’s not possible” or “that can’t be done” should be treated as a challenge to prove wrong. One must then be prepared to persevere and execute with their original proposal.
