Prime Insights: What advice would you offer to emerging entrepreneurs aiming to build a trusted brand in their respective industries?
I feel today’s young entrepreneurs have a big vision in mind and are also preparing to accept a lot of failures, rejections, and bad luck in the journey of becoming successful. In this process, there is only one rule of success that they should admire, and that is never give up. During my business journey, I observed a many of industries failing because they were not changing with time. Traditional products and traditional patterns of doing business will not have a long life and big success. Continuous research of market research of the product and the needs of the customer should be considered for making a trusted business brand.
