Ishan shares his reasons behind dropping out of college and is someone who has found success by carving his own path through social media and entrepreneurship.
Despite the challenges of managing a YouTube channel, a social media services agency, and adjusting to the demands of college, Ishan chose to leave college to fully commit to his passions. Throughout the conversation, Ishan shares his motivations for starting on YouTube to improve his communication skills, the realisation of needing to market one's skills effectively, and how he built and grew his business leveraging his alumni network.
