What are the setbacks you have faced? How did you tackle these setbacks or challenges? And what lesson have you learned from it?

In our journey of building a brand, we’ve encountered several challenges. There were setbacks while growing the brand, building the team, and the daunting market competitiveness. However, we navigated the storm and tackled these through research, prioritizing culture, and adapting multiple strategies.
These times have made me stronger and more excited for what’s next.

I believe perseverance, adaptability, and resilience have played significant roles in shaping me into the person I am today.

Who are the people who have been the wind behind your wings?

My family has been my rock, offering unwavering support through every challenge. They have been the very cornerstone upon which I’ve built my life.
In moments of doubt or uncertainty, it is my family who lifts me, their encouragement fuels my determination and reminds me of my worth.
