Co-Founder & CEO, Snipe | Hiring Growth Hackers and Business Executives | Product, Strategy & Growth | IIT (BHU), Varanasi
HAVE YOU EVER KILLED? I HAD TO My doubts, fears, and hesitations, but it didn’t happen all at once I learned, relearned, and unlearned throughout my journey. My Journey: From Learning to Leading It all started when I was working with SnapSolve for their content development, I realized the world of working directly with the product intrigued me, and I knew I had to deep dive into it so there I was joining another internship but this time it was something which felt fascinating, it was more than an internship, it was my beginning of working with the product management while thinking about what it would be like to work on my own product. After MPS Limited, I just couldn’t stop, I had to know more, learn more, and dive in more. So there I was again joining another internship but this time I knew what I was craving. Then it was the season of summer internships, and the whole college was enraged with excitement. I got through the initial tests of Procter & Gamble and I was hoping to join them during summer, thinking about how amazing it would be to learn from an American Multinational Corporation, BUT (These BUTs are sometimes so depressing BUT so important) I didn’t get in. It broke my heart BUT you can read all about that story in detail in my previous LinkedIn post (I’ll add the link in the comments). After this rejection, I went on a journey of constant learning and unlearning. I killed my doubts and fears and excuses that felt like they were holding me back and worked on… Then I got an opportunity to work with The Better Shop Was I still heartbroken? Yes Was I gonna let that affect my present in a not-so-positive way? NO I accepted the offer letter at The Better Shop and it became a major stepping stone in my life. I worked directly with the founders and understood how a start-up actually runs, continuously solving critical user problems, participating in stakeholder meetings, and streamlining the entire shipment, orders, and inventory process, it all gave me the experience I needed to work on my own product. This is obviously not the entire story, but this part is where it all began, where I actually knew what I wanted, what I craved for, and what I had to kill for.
