00:00Hi Akshay. Hello, hello. So to start with, how has been your journey with SYV? Can you
00:11like to speak in brief about it? So my journey with SYV has been really eye-opening. What started
00:18as just a small seed of an idea has really germinated into something that I see happening
00:24this year very soon and I'm very happy that this course has taught me everything it has
00:32and enabled me to actually get to this stage in my business plan. Great. Any specific aha
00:39moment that helped you to like completely change your perspective on starting a business?
00:46My business idea was basically to start a film production house of my own and I wanted to
00:51target the big brands, the big fishes, Coca-Cola, Fevicol, Darbar and also perhaps make long
00:59format films for Netflix. But the pivoting moment or rather the aha moment was that I don't
01:05need to go after these people first. The pivoting moment was that I need to find some early adopters
01:11and that's what really changed my business plan and this came through one of the classes
01:17that we were doing and it was truly a Eureka or aha moment for me. Great. Great. Okay.
01:24So any specific thing that you want to tell your pre-SYV self, what would that be?
01:31It would be to, what I would want to tell my pre-SYV self is to keep your eyes and ears open.
01:40Knowledge can come in from anywhere and let people guide you. Very often people go in with the notion
01:46that we know everything, but that is the least helpful ideology to have, especially when
01:53you're entering into a new phase of your life.
