My interest and priorities in life were the same as most of the management aspirers. Completed my management from Symbiosis Institute of International Business batch 2002. Slogged for the placements, First employer was Reva Electric Car Company Bangalore, within six months joined GE Counsumer Finance Vijaywada, then post a year Citibank Hyderabad, then CitibankMumbai and then Citibank Gurgaon..................Citi was the place to fulfill all my dreams . Received promotions every year from Asst Manager to Manager to Asst Vice President.Initial years were thrilling , probably first two years and then life became complicated, draining and started losing its meaning. Everything was complicated, the people around, the expectations, the human nature.......................and the fear of losing it all i.e my job, the salary, the designation and the position. This fear was forcing me to tolerate the innumerable things which I did not relate to and believe in. The most important of all, I was not happy, just not happy. Life had lost its purpose and I had no time for the people who meant the world to me. It took almost a year for me to come to terms with the fact that I wanted to leave everything and start a fresh...To build a company of my dreams. What I noticed was the fact that the thought itself my bringing the energy back in my tired life. Everyone dissuaded, barring my parents and few friends. Few entrepreneurs suggested, not worth it, very difficult and most people assumed I was a fool, to kick a great salary package and designation in an aspired Organization.
Post two years I Thank God with all my heart that I started my company Pundareek. Yes there are miles to go and successes to achieve, but I am glad two years back I took the first step. Answered my fear , quit my job, followed my passion, travelled accross India and some locations overseas, Invested ( hardly a lakh) in my company, gained few clients, specialized in what I wanted to do and Broke even in a year. It has been an upward progression since then and no regrets. But most importantly I am happy. My take in life is, it is too short to be unhappy. When life does not go the way you want, God has a message......Champion the usual.......and I genuienly mean it!!
