FROM TECH TO BEAUTY: A PROFITABLE ENTREPRENEURIAL TRANSITION

Tell us about your entrepreneurial journey.

Ans: My journey from the software industry to the world of business has been a long and transformative expedition. The idea of becoming an entrepreneur stemmed from my desire to overcome the challenges of being an employee. My primary motivation was to achieve financial independence while also creating employment opportunities for others. Additionally, I aimed to strike a balance between my professional and personal life. The journey has been both challenging and rewarding, filled with invaluable experiences. Working in an inspiring environment, where my ability to learn quickly and work efficiently was recognized, and has made the experience even more fulfilling.

How long have you been associated with Lakme?
