We invited Brinda Rawal, Founder of Avinet Consultancy for an interview with Most Popular Stories to know more about her entrepreneurial journey.
Avinet Consultancy in Nashik is one of the top players in the industry. This well-known establishment acts as a one-stop destination servicing customers both local and from other parts of Nashik. Over the course of its journey, this business has established a firm foothold in its industry.
- Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey as an entrepreneur.
I was born and brought up in Delhi, and I shifted to Nashik during my college times and got settled here. I gained a lot of work experience after working in different industries for 10 years. I was always keen on starting something of my own. So, there started the journey of Avinet consultancy in Nashik, 6 years ago. It was a challenging but more satisfying experience.
- Why did you choose entrepreneurship over a job?
The passion for doing something which I can call it my own was the major reason. I feel its more challenging, but connecting to people and seeing your business grow, makes it worthy and satisfying.
- What was the vision behind it?
The vision is to transform the way of how hiring is done, by building trust between the candidates and clients, so that they can go ahead with a proper form of hiring.
- Describe the services that you offer to your customers and in what way they are unique?
We are a job consultancy firm where we provide the right job to the right candidate. This is perhaps the most important prerequisite to success. Superficial knowledge doesn’t get anyone anywhere. Knowing one’s work or domain and letting it be known will automatically enhance the standing of an individual.
- What difficulties which you have faced or you are facing?
In the beginning, there was a lot of trust issues from both ends, but as we started delivering, things began to change. So we established ourselves as a key player in the industry at a slow and steady pace.
- How do you handle the pressure and manage stress?
I have been practicing Yoga for long, which gives me peace, and my family and my kids help me reduce the pressure & stress. Also as I am an avid reader that also helps me in managing my stress.
- What is one strategy that you believe has helped you grow as a person/startup?
Perseverance, grit, and hard work are some of the things which I have been following throughout my journey.
- How your company is helping India to grow?
Unemployment is one of the major issues we are facing right now. So bridging the gap between an employer and an employee, by providing them with opportunities, is one area where we are working on.
- In your opinion what are the keys to success?
Hard work, and not taking no for an answer is the key. I think believing in yourself is also a key to success. Even when you face more challenges, you should be ready to face the world every day with the same enthusiasm and passion.
- What advice would you give to someone starting out as an aspiring entrepreneur?
Listen to your heart, then go ahead and conquer the world.
