- When I took that test in the university, I was involved in buying and selling secondhand vehicles.
- In order to support my university fees, I had three jobs, including driving as an Uber for students attending parties at night.
- Even back then, my life didn’t fit the typical student mold.
- It was evident that traits of entrepreneurship were already at play.
- Part of it was driven by survival instinct, as entrepreneurs often have a fear of failure and a constant drive to make things work.
12:12- What is a successful company for you?
- To me, successful companies are those where the entire ecosystem of stakeholders, from the top management to the employees at the bottom, genuinely love and believe in the company.
- It’s about creating an environment where even a security guard, if asked, would express their passion for working for the company and seeing it as a part of themselves.
- If that level of dedication and belief is not present, then there is room for improvement and work to be done.
