With the beginning of 2011, life has come full circle for me. A journey which started in 1998 of growing out has moved to be of growing within. Back then I was a teenager raring to go out and explore new territories. Leaving behind high mountains and a doting family to find out what I wanted to be.
The journey has been long and eventful. In this period I did loose some loved ones and met some many more loving and affectionate people. No doubt that I can now claim of have friends sitting in every nook and corner of this world. Be it micro finance practitioner in Kenya to a techie in New york or a Doodhwala in AMUL.
Over the years I had dreamt of moving back to Himachal and so I did with a IL&FS in 2007. But it is only now that I have truly started exploring my real dreams of being an entrepreneur. Last few months have been quite exciting and at the same time have tested me as well. From managing HimVani.com,one of the largest read news portals about Himachal to hosting the toughest Mountain Biking Challenge in India and helping start GreenKrafts, a handicrafts based social venture near Dharamshala. Have tried my little bit of contributing to the society in a positive manner.
More recently have been involved with few like minded entrepreneurs to start an IT initiative in Himachal Pradesh. We have some interesting plans for up-skilling the youth in the region and hope to generate employment for many. In the process we probably will end up guiding few youngsters in setting up similar initiatives.
So the task is cut out in front of us and we shall use every second of this year working towards fulfilling our dreams.
Ending this piece on a rather selfish note, I seek your blessings, support and guidance throughout the year.
So wish us luck ! Bon Voyage !
Good Luck Varun
best wishes
Good Going.. All the best.
