Mumbai Founder Reflects on Surviving Seven Days Without Food and Its Life Lessons
Mumbai-based founder Abhishek Agarwal shared how surviving seven days without money for food at age 18 taught him resilience and confidence. He emphasizes that experiencing true financial hardship, distinct from everyday money shortages, helped him overcome fear of failure and setbacks in business. Agarwal clarifies that poverty is not noble, but enduring such a low point provides a unique strength that formal education cannot teach. He believes everyone should face their own 'most broke' moment to build this resilience.
