2. Mr. Abhinav Singh “As a leader, founder and a human being, accepting a change in the best possible way is my sole endeavor. You cant always go back to the scratch and start over; at some point you have to learn to turn your experiences and mistakes into something more, a success story. ”

3. Ms. Vertika Singh “Everything you do, each decision you take defines who you are as a person. Failure is inevitable, don't be afraid of it. Accept whatever comes your way. You'll be able to accomplish some and will fail miserably at others; accept both. Challenge and love life as it comes your way.”

4. Anmol Mathur “A leader is as good as his team members. proper co-ordination is the soul of smooth working in any organization. you need to share your vision with them. nothing will motivate them like your belief in them and their ability to work for the vision.”

5. Neha Bisht “Authenticity is more important than anything when it comes to leadership. the more you try to please everyone the more you hurt your effectiveness. Always keep your purpose as your priority and You'll be able to impact the world like never before. ”

6. Apurv Gaurav “I firmly believe that you can only inspire others when you accept who you are. doing anything for any organization is highly daunting and emotional. Humility, self discovery and transformation are all that you need to be a positive impact.”

7. Yashvardhan Lohani “Time is money, for me its the most precious resource. every minute that goes by can never be recovered. therefore it is crucial that of all the innovative ideas you chose the best and most realistic ones. the time you save will be crucial to the next important duty you have to perform.”
