Though I started my career as an AC / Dy. Supdt. of Police but due to some family commitments, resigned from Police and joined the corporate world.

I kept on dreaming for many years to become an entrepreneur and now decided to start my own Security, Outsourced Manpower, and Corporate Trainings company - Astra Protection Group, as I felt the need for a professional and dedicated Security Agency and a reliable Outsourced Manpower company which can cater to the needs of the corporate world.

What advice would you give your 25-year-old self? 

Remain sincere in your approach, love what you do, and be passionate in your attitude, and you will surely be successful.

What is your favorite interview question and why? 

My favorite interview question is when someone asks about my failures apart from my successes. I always advise them not to forget that Failure is Not the Opposite of Success, it is a Part of Success. Failure gives life lessons that become the stepping stones to success in life.
