INTERVIEW
Q: Describe yourself in a few words.
A: I try to be as humane as I can. I don’t like to see anyone troubled. I don’t pick up a fight and quarrel with anyone. I don’t like that. Money and fame can be earned, but it’s difficult to be a good human being. So I’m trying to be as good a human being as I can.
Q: How do you define success?
A: I think everyone should compete against their own selves. If you realize the targets you set for yourself, that’s success for you!
Q: Why do you think you can become the Business Baazigar?
A: I think my idea is unique because it’s got a definite social slant to it. Anyone can float a business but only those are able to sustain who acknowledge their responsibility to the society and carry it out well. Secondly, I feel that no one will be able to execute my project as well as I can. I believe that to achieve success in any business, you need to be very well attuned to those working for you and your target audience. I recognize the need for that and will do my best to be successful in that!
Q: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
A: I think in five years the company that I want to float will be a global transport company. Hopefully that way I’ll make a mark for myself in the corporate world and among the most underprivileged segment of the society. My company will definitely also be listed because, with my knowledge and experience in the stock market, I’ll ensure its visibility on it!
