I have been pursuing the path of an entrepreneur for a year and a half now. I had a dream of building my own intelligent search engine. I left a well settled job in India to come all the way to Scotland to learn more about how to do it. I think that was the best decision I made in my life.
Since then I studied, graduated, pitched, got funding, built my idea into a prototype and got people to use it. I learnt a lot of things along the way. I learnt that starting a company is like swimming upstream in a river. You can't wait and rest. You keep struggling against tremendous odds, and try to hold on to a few opportunities and fragile hope that you get in between. But then when you reach a point when you can think about where you are and what you have done, there is a sense of contentment and pride in you. It doesn't matter if you succeeded or failed, those times are never forgotten...
I still have a lot to learn, and a long way to go.
