He adds, “I began to understand the value of money when I started my own business. It was when I had to manage my finances, and expenses and make a critical financial decision for my company that I truly appreciated how every single rupee I spent could impact the success and sustainability of my business. This realization made me more conscious of the importance of money in the business world.”
