Seven years of volunteering cultivated enduring connections and a deep understanding of ground realities. For Awnish, volunteering is not just about solving problems together but also about building empathy, an invaluable perk that lasts a lifetime.
Embracing Challenges and Finding Purpose
In the quiet lanes of Bihar, a young introvert named Awnish discovered his passion amidst the challenges. Transitioning from a small city to Pune for his computer science studies, Awnish found his true calling at ‘Involve Learning Solutions’ a start-up championing peer teaching. Leaving behind a conventional IT job, he embarked on a journey that would redefine his life.
Navigating the Entrepreneurial Realm
Awnish’s entrepreneurial spirit thrived on challenges, considering them invaluable teachers. Facing daily hurdles in his start-up honed not only his skills but also instilled the confidence to overcome obstacles. He believes that adaptability and resilience empower individuals to iterate, correcting their course incrementally - a philosophy that has become the backbone of his start-up’s success.
Overcoming the Challenge of Presenting to Experienced Teachers
The start-up’s focus on school children posed a unique challenge: presenting ideas to experienced teachers. Awnish emphasizes the importance of learning on the go, acquiring the necessary skills, and molding oneself to confront every challenge. The journey involves constant adaptation, a concept he ardently applies in both business and life.
