6. What are some of the challenges and roadblocks you have faced along your journey?
Many indeed but all have been worth it! . I must confess that I did have a mind block of marketing myself initially. But I worked towards that . I'm slowly beginning to enjoy the process and love creating the need and help envision the impact of my work in the client's mind .
7. Your opinion about the current situation with respect to your industry?
It's a tough time for the industry. However, re-doing strategies, using the tech platform positively, collaborating are few things that worked for me . Earlier it used to be more face to face interactions and now has been replaced by the online platforms . I feel b2b has seen a dip and many have started focusing on b2c possibilities.
