"I used to be one of those people who would actually say that I would never, ever be an entrepreneur: the commitment seemed too extreme and too onerous. But, around five years back, it was clear to me that my first career in journalism, and my second career in higher education administration, weren’t going to be able to give me what I was craving from my career – ownership, recognition, impact. It slowly became evident that entrepreneurship was really the only way ahead. It was an unexpected choice, and I’ve been an unlikely founder-CEO, but somehow it’s always felt incredibly authentic to me: that this is what I should be doing. "
Join me to go behind the scenes with Shreyasi and learn what happens when you make unexpected choices. How you learn and how you grow.
