Can you tell us about your journey? I was a wedding photographer and edited wedding photography for a living. Working with VCR tapes and basic editing software, I naturally made some contacts in this field and one of those contacts was into making telefilms. That friend called one day and asked me

to edit a film that he had worked on. Obviously, I was skeptical as I did not know exactly what kind of editing was needed in those films. Even though telefilms were becoming popular there weren't many editors around so they helped me in every step of the editing. One after theother I ended up editing around 4-5 films. At that time I was residing in Mansa district in Punjab. It was a small town and opportunities were scarce. I slowly made more links while editing more films and as a result, I moved to Chandigarh which had suddenly exploded into a haven for people in the film industry.To no surprise, I was contacted by a person who asked me to help them with a technical issue they were facing with their video production. It was quite a hilarious moment because when I got there I saw that the issue they were facing was a very basic one and I fixed it with utter ease. Now I was used to working 4 to 5 days on a single video and the pay-off was not much.

I took out a few minutes to fix their problem and these guys paid me almost 10 times the money. It felt like I struck gold and like any other person, I dug further. Asking around a bit I realized that I was not portraying a professional front and I was being paid 1/3rd the amount a professional would have been paid for the same kind of work. Basically a professional would have been paid 1.5 lakhs and I was paid 50,000 to do the same work. Now in order to become an actualprofessional I found a guy who slowly taught me everything I needed to know.

He was practically like a Guru for me at that time. In no time I was being seen as a thorough professional. I gathered some like-minded people with similar aims and we immediately started finding work. The payoff was better than expected because of our combined efforts and diligence. I got the chance to meet many other professionals and travel to many countries. During this time frame I helped set up around 50 satellites T.V. channels.

My major driving force was the intention to keep learning and observing. Sheer curiosity and a willingness to find quick solutions to problems is what led me on to the path of success.

What is the ideology behind the projects? Catering to the demand and supply angle is one thing but to understand the problem and solution aspect is another. Looking at the problem and solution angle is completely different as there are no constant parameters as one finds with demand and supply.Finding a solution to a problem requires wit, innovation and a perfectly streamlined out-of-the-box thinking.The future lies in data and without dependable data, handling a country will witness many hurdles in its path to greatness.
