Tell us, in at least 250 words, how you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far.

Where there are ambitions there will be challenges associated with it. Such is the story of my life too. I always wanted to have my own startup to provide unconventional education to all the students belonging from various sections of the society. First and foremost, the challenge was trying to convince the parent from the working middle class family to let their daughter choose a path of startup instead of a settled government job. Which is still work in progress. The first step was to find guidance and mentorship which I found by applying for a certification course in XLRI, Jamshedpur where I found like minded people who shared ideas and the ideas started forming into plans of action. The next part was making the Business plan. The rigorous schedule in that course made it difficult to manage studies along with the project implementation. Then came the funding part. Since the idea was not innovative and new the funding became even more difficult. 

The feasibility of the plans was questioned by banks who were not ready to fund at all.  The parental pressure increased day by day, so I took a gap from that plan. Meanwhile I tried the substitute path of getting a job but none of it gave the happiness of following your own passion.

The idea of earning my own money was the final solution. I announced to my family that I will pursue MBA hence I started preparing for the CAT exam. All the savings of mine was now exhausted and I could not support my CAT coaching. My parents withdrew their financial support which led to me self-studies. After two years I finally cleared CAT 2018 with good scores to get into Indian Institute of Management, Raipur. After huge convincing process they agreed to let me study further. Now here I am taking each step towards my goal and in this path every step forward is an achievement. The current update is that I found a partner who showed genuine interest in the idea and agreed to work in this together. Conclusion, if you keep following your passion life seems peaceful and gives you strength to fight more struggles.
