The EngineerBabu co-founder started up in Indore at a time when the city lacked an ecosystem. Her gritty journey, peppered with hard decisions, holds many a lesson for young entrepreneurs.
It was a tough fight but one that was worth it. It was a situation of do or die for both of us, but with every difficult situation we became stronger and stronger, says Aditi Chaurasia, Co-founder of EngineerBabu, an Indore-based IT solutions startup.
In 2014 when Aditi, 29, and co-founder Mayank Pratap started up in Indore, the duo were tackling three major challenges: no exposure to a thriving startup scene like the one in Bengaluru, a lack of acceptance from their families, and shortage of funds.
wo and a half years later, we revisit Aditis journey to see how her perspective has changed towards startups, challenges and life itself. Since spreading her wings to fly, Aditi has come a long way, and her experiences not only serve as lessons on coping with failure, problems and changes, but also on how best to accept and make room for them and address them in the short and the long term.
