This week we invited passionate young entrepreneurs Anish Patel And Nadeem Khan for an interview with us to understand more about their entrepreneurial journey. They are the Co-founders at Friends Bring A Helping Hands (FBHHS). Let’s learn more about their journey so far!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Ashutosh
Talk us through your background and your journey as an entrepreneur, please;
Anish Patel – I’m currently studying B.tech 3rd year, EEE Stream. It has been a wonderful journey so far, and am really excited to serve more. I’m the Co-founder of Friends Bring A Helping Hands (FBHHS)
Nadeem Khan – I am 20 years old from Warangal. I always dreamed big from my childhood. I wanted to do something big in my life but things were messed up. During my early days, I struggled for my education and for my basic needs. I was raised by my Grandmother and uncle (Zubair) without them I am nothing. Thanks to their support and my hard work that I have reached where I am today. Now I proudly say I am an Entrepreneur working for a great cause. I am the Co-founder of Friends Being A Helping Hands (FBHHS)
Why did you choose entrepreneurship over a job?
Anish Patel – I will say ‘Financial Freedom’. If I was financially free then I can help more. As of now, we face many troubles financially but this should not stop us in the coming future.
Nadeem Khan – Basically I understood one thing very clear that If I do a job I can only work for my family. But Entrepreneurship can make many lives better. So I chose entrepreneurship
Anish Patel
What gets you out of bed in the morning i.e. what’s your source of motivation?
Anish Patel – Giving something to others. Doing something for others. Nothing motivates me as much as helping those who really need us.
Nadeem Khan – I feel that I need to have more time to fulfil all my dreams. My dreams get me out of my bed.
What comes first for you – money or emotions?
Anish Patel – I am an emotional person. Business needs to have emotions, not personal. Money is obviously the priority but I believe if your value creation process is right for others, the money will automatically come as an outcome of it.
Nadeem Khan – I am an emotional person and I feel money is a by-product
Nadeem Khan
What advice would you give to someone starting out as an aspiring entrepreneur?
Anish Patel – Be goal oriented and be practical.
