What are the lessons from the challenges Himanshu Sethi faced and how did he overcome them? (50 to 70 words)
Himanshu Sethi faced various challenges in his life, both at a personal and professional level. On the personal level, he lost his mother just after completing his graduation (in his final semester in the year 2007), and his family and friends supported him a lot at that time, so he went for his higher studies there.
Professionally, when he was at his young professional stage and was working for a reputed client like Airtel Africa, he got the task of formulating and executing the online strategy for the client. At that point in time, social media was pretty new at that point in time, but he worked continuously for more than 72 hours in the office and came out victorious.
