1. Tell us more about your company and your journey.

Hi, I am Ashutosh Karmarkar. We, at Axenic Global IT solution started our business in the field of BPO and customer support almost 7 years back. Now we have achieved a success in lot of other services such as IT consultancy services, software support services, Graphic design services.


2. How did you come up with this idea and go about executing it?

I have around 5+ years of working experience as a employee of well known companies. I have worked with very well-known brands in IT field. My personal opinion is one should have their own side income and should not depend of one single income source because like is a risk. No matter if you are CEO of any organization you are nothing but a employee and company can ask you any point of time leave the job so that's really a shame for anyone. 

So I decided to quit my job and start something my own in the field using my area of expertise. Then I registered my company and started finding projects for myself. Now we are company who provides services in almost 110 countries. Now we have company presence in Hong Kong as well. Very soon we will reach our target to provide services in almost 180 countries across the globe.


3. What has been your biggest challenge that you faced and how did you overcome that?

Finding projects for myself and my company was the biggest challange. It's really not easy to get business from abroad. I tried extremely hard for whole 1 year with no luck at all. I left my job that was the biggest mistake I made because in one year due to office expenses and no income I became moneyless but I kept trust in myself and given my full efforts. I had no experience of doing business.I made lot of mistakes but I decided not to loose hopes and keep trying. Finally I got the success after one amd half year and got one project from Germany.


4. What do you think are the most important qualities of a successful entrepreneur?

you must have patience, knowledge, trust in yourself, Loyalty. Reliability is extremely important for doing any business. The most important thing is to deal with people and work as team is extremely important to become a successful entrepreneur.


5. What are some of the most important factors for running a successful business?

building a trust and very good rapo with your clients. Punctuality in your work. The most important thing is follow the given TIME because it's more then everything. Time never wait for anyone. You have to change your mindset because world is changing every 2 years so we have to learn what is required for the current time.


6. What are your tips for first time and aspiring entrepreneurs?

  • Never leave your job unless you get success with your second income which will be any of the business module you choose and like.
  • Make a small start with extremely less expenses.
  • Keep one thing in mind " Never shy if you have no money, Never ever mine when you become rich." Just remember your bad days and treat people well.


7. How can one overcome a hurdle of lack of funds when starting up?

I have very different way of thinking about the people those who wants to start the own business. Make a small start but yes think big. Thinking big does not mean that you have to start everything big with high expenses.

Never do anything in life to show others.

Think yourself how much can you spend on new start up not affecting your current standard of living.

Never start business by taking loans.

  1. I get where Ashutosh Karmarkar is coming from—bootstrap philosophy sounds great in theory, and avoiding massive debt when launching a company is smart. But saying you should never take a loan is a bit unrealistic for the real world.

    Debt isn't evil; it's just a financial tool. Sometimes a well-timed, short-term loan is the exact thing that keeps cash flow steady during an unexpected crunch or helps you grab a sudden opportunity. For example, if an entrepreneur or freelancer runs into a minor operational gap and needs quick liquidity up to $500 without dealing with endless bank bureaucracy, using a transparent service like Vertex Lend to bridge the gap can save the day.

    It's all about managing it smartly and paying it back fast. Loans aren't the enemy—mismanagement is.

  4. Playing among us makes you understand what it feels like to distrust others. The person who just helped you complete a task could be an imposter, and the person everyone suspects might be completely innocent. Each segment tells a different story.

The faster speed makes small mistakes important, while changing tracks keep things interesting. Trying to beat a previous score gives players a simple reason to keep playing. 🕹️

  8. The no-loans point lands clearly, and moving from BPO and customer support into IT consultancy, software support, and graphic design over seven years says a lot about expanding services after a focused start. How did the first clients come in before the team grew? For anyone testing creative side projects alongside a business, turning a photo into a pixel grid with perler bead patterns can be a low-cost way to try ideas before scaling up.

  12. Hello everyone I’m Kimberly from Georgia. I’m so grateful to SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST for such wonderful work. I had three credit cards to which I pay my bills closely in most cases on due dates through pre-authorized debits. I also have a good mix of credit which is student loan but still have been deprived of a car loan. Although the majority of the negative items will be removed in a few months (about a year) time. I have a credit score of 482 with so many derogatory items that are from 3 years ago. I couldn't condole it anymore as most of my colleagues at work have their personal cars. I felt in despair most times considering my predicament. After a quick research of a credit specialist called SAFEPORT with numerous recommendations and that which my boyfriend Simon explained about with positive reviews and referrals. I contacted them explaining my problem. SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST came up with a resounding proposal and guaranteed my derogatory items wiped, reports and scores enhanced within 12 working days. With so much anxiety I waited and to my greatest surprise after 6 days my report was sound with positive trade lines posted on it including a revolving credit card, a 807 credit score and all negative reports were deleted. I got approved for a loan, got my car and most especially got myself together. I strongly recommend him for your credit fix. Email: safeportcreditspecialist@gmail.com

  13. In April of this year my mom asked me to open a credit card to pay for flight tickets. It was supposed to be no more than $700. She said she would pay it off in 2 months. Fast forward 4 months later and my mom sends me a message saying that she accidentally paid the card late that month but she will pay once she gets her next check. Up until this point I’ve never looked at the account because I had no reason to.
    When she told me that I decided to log on and pay off the rest of what she owed because I had some extra money. When I opened the account, I was very shocked to see that she owed over $1,800. I did notice that I kept receiving emails that my credit score was dropping, but I didn’t pay much attention to it . I am a longtime authorized user on one of my mom’s credit cards, and it normally changes based on her activity. Upon further research, I noticed it was significantly dropping because of this card. I got scared because I am in medical school and I’m going to eventually need my credit score for private loans during the third year when I can no longer get money from the government.
    To make a long story short, I told her that she didn’t have to worry about paying it anymore because I will take it over. I did this because I had money to help out, and I thought it would be a kind thing to do since she was clearly struggling to pay it off. The only thing that I asked was for her not to continue using the card while I got the balance down. She immediately got defensive and it became a much bigger thing. She cut up the credit card and accused me of trying to hurt her. After that, I removed her from being an authorized user to prevent her from logging onto the account and paying the balance down with money I knew she didn’t have and keep her from unlocking her authorized card.
    I am very new to credit, so I thought that removing her was simply removing her access to the account. Our relationship eventually repaired. However, she angrily texted me and told me that her credit score dropped nearly 200 points and it was because of me removing her. I feel terrible because I didn’t know it would happen. Had I known I wouldn’t have done it. So I asked a question on a credit forum. Is it possible that removing her has caused this much damage and if so, what can I do to help her? A friend immediately recommended SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST. He Testified how Safeport Credit Specialist has helped so many people with their credit issues. So immediately emailed them on: safeportcreditSpecialist@gmail.com he responded and upon reaching agreements with him, he promised to get the scores up back within 12 days maximum and remove all negative items on the report including lates payments/credit card debts. 6 days later all negative items were erased including late payment was all marked as paid on time. SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST raised her scores to 800+. I’m so excited for what he did for me and my mom. She now has a good credit profile. If you need help in fixing your credit, I’ll recommend you to them and get yours fixed too.

  14. Honestly I do not enjoy writing much, but I have to let the world know about this genius that helped me. Seriously, I needed a home for my family, but I couldn’t get one because of the Evictions, my current scores are in the 400's and dropped from the mid 500’s because of late payments. I recently lost my job and have only been employed recently. I took out tons of credit cards during college to get by and maxed them out. After college due to health reasons I did not always have steady work. Finally, for the first time in my life, I have steady work and can build myself up. However I’ve tanked my credit, I felt hopeless about it. I really would like to get back to the 500’s-700’s by this time next year. I read about SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST at Quora and Reddit. Few days after I contacted safeport credit specialist they increased my scores to 803 and improved my credit profile by removing the evictions, charge offs and late payments. I’ve never seen such a relentless and amazing service in my life before. They made my next year dream of getting a home for my family come through this year. Got our first key at Kenosha $278k at 6.875%. I swear to God I never believed I’ll be able to get a home for my family this year. Wish I could express how happy I feel now with this message. SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST really did it for me. I urge everyone to contact them for any related credit issues. Email SAFEPORTCREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

  15. This is an interesting perspective on the financial risks involved in starting a business. Taking out loans too early can put a lot of pressure on a new entrepreneur, especially before the business has a reliable source of income. I think it's important to understand the costs, explore alternative funding options, and build a sustainable plan before making major financial commitments. Careful planning and smart decisions can make a big difference in the long-term success of a business. For a fun break from business reading, check out geometry dash
