“For me hustle is a way of life. Because that’s all I saw my father do. He went from the streets to owning a multi-million dollar business today only because he never stopped grinding. He’d tell me me, ‘Tum chahe jo karo, itni mehnat se karna ki tum no.1 ban jao!’ And le lived by being an example. So when I started my business, I knew that’s how I wanted to do business.

And today, 10 years later, at 26, I’ve realised it was the biggest lesson I could have gotten. Because in business, there is no alternative to excellence. I’ve learnt that no matter what business you are in, if you are the absolute best at it, nobody can beat you, chahe fir tum floor cleaner hi kyun ho!”

About Humans of Bombay –
Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.9M!

Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalogue the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
