Startup as the very name indicates START UP. Start UP your first professional experience, of an Internship with Startup.
Let’s go by story…..
There were two cubs of a lion. The elder one was David and the smaller chick named Rahul. Father Lion was best of his kind in the jungle, he was the king of the creatures existed and alive.
So, his elder son David got and enjoyed all worldly pleasures because he would be the next legitimate supremacy, the king of Jungle.
But, the smaller one has no future…he was too small to be ignored and neglected. So, his upbringing was rather difficult, tough and every day was a struggle.
One day the king lion died, due to poor health…the kingdom was threatened and collapsed. Dreams shattered and the kids were thrown out by the vultures. David broke out…since he was unaware, bewildered by sudden circumstances, it was like world ended for him.
But since Rahul lived life from so basal and basic…that he knew how to survive & finally one day because of his struggle he acquired the reign back and was sworn as the King.
This is what a startup provides you, it is a journey full of experiences of all kind and you know how to professionally survive in the market and one day may be holding its nerves and veins.
