Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Sam:
Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background and your company, please;
I started my career with no ambition or a set goal to decide what I wanted to do in future. When I came out of my college, wanted to earn my pocket money that was only my target at that point in time. Just in a race of opportunity I also worked in internet café for part-time. Did marketing for a startup company and there on since BPO was booming and lifestyle was on the breach, joined Zenith software ltd as Customer support executive and soon took ladder of opportunity as General Administration for an entire organization, after serving for almost 8+ years in different roles. I wanted to do something on my own but my challenge was zero investment, one of my friend was working as HR professional and suggested me to join him, this concept was new but my idea was not only to make money but to give opportunity to many like me who after age and point wanted to do something on their own.
In 2013, I started Stepin4 Solutions, with a clear objective of being a service provider to ensure that we provide exceptional and professional services to clients around the globe.

It is highly competitive now but the good thing is there are segments so we are well poised to leverage it with our competitive pricing and customised services.
What gets you out of bed in the morning i.e. what’s your source of motivation?
I find immense source of motivation from what I do. I feel closely connected to it. I am of the opinion that if we do what we are passionate about then motivation is never a problem.
How do you handle the pressure and manage stress?
Stress can be a big motivator for me. As an individual, fall and rise is the nature of the business, self-motivation, core values and to understand who you are, gives feed to my aggression. Also, fair opinions from fellow colleagues give me oxygen to run.
What advice would you give to someone starting out?
Don’t focus primarily on money but keep your focus on creating a sustainable venture. Do your best and rest of the things will automatically align with time.
