Do you feel that no fields are left for advancement in this fully digitized era?

 

To debunk this myth and to share his life experience, we have Mr. Sunil Jha for this episode of the Empowering Indian Expats podcast.

Over the last 35 years, Sunil founded 2 companies (one was sold to a firm before he moved to Australia ) and currently living in Sydney Australia.

 

At present, his areas of interest are market entry, business strategic planning, and implementation, business growth, and branding.

- What were the opportunities in 80s and 90s vs the opportunities that exist today

- Staring young as an entrepreneur and its benefits and challenges

- Importance of networking

- ways to improve your business in this pandemic

- Fields where there is a lot of scope of improvement

- Ways in which a mid-career professional can pivot in different fields

In his own words...

"If you never failed, there is no learning.

And remember there are endless opportunities out there, you just have to find a way to grab them."
