What attracted you to the MBA programme at Kent Business School and why?
I wish to start my own business in near future and the Kent Business School MBA programme focuses on entrepreneurship and also has the ASPIRE Lab which supports the start-up journey. I somewhere felt stagnant in a 9-5 desk job and wanted more out of my life. I had started a small business from home during the pandemic and that’s when I felt I need to educate myself in this field in order to dream big.
Aspiration
3-year plan – Work for the big 4 as a trusted advisor/consultant preferably in the cloud technology in the UK and work on my start up ideas alongside and raise fundings.
7-year plan – Implement my business idea.
Advice
It’s all about your ideas and your confidence which will drive your business to success. You cannot be always right, you will make mistakes, but most importantly learn out of it and never repeat it.
“The comfort zone is nothing else but a graveyard for your dreams and ideas.”
