We all have a lot to say to this world. Some of us are good at it, many of us aren’t. It doesn’t matter. Trying to be yourself is the best thing you can try and do and failing at it can be considered as just another learning.
I am Dinesh Juneja. The Co-Founder of a beautiful startup called Creativa India. A lot of times I am asked this particular question – ‘how did you come up with this idea?’ And I generally say whatever crosses my mind at that point of time.
a. It just came by and I decided to do it
b. It was something I always wished to do at the back of my mind
c. I think the market had potential and youngsters got respect
Well, all these aren’t exactly incorrect. They are just expressions of what I realized while I spent my time at Creativa, treated it like my own and worked towards it. But to think of it, this wasn’t my idea. I dint own it. I adopted it.
A very dear friend now, and my business partner, Himanshu, was the one who brought Creativa to life. His unnerving passion to do something different, out of the box and cut the myth most brands carry about ‘advertising is bullshit’ made him do it. How did I come into the picture? Destiny.
Or I am probably just lucky. Lucky to have such wonderful people who considered me worthy of this. My partner, my family, my best friend, my friends, acquaintainces and each and everybody who said – ‘Wow! We are proud of you.’ With each passing day their love and affection made me stronger, more confident and whatever I am today. Thank you’s would just be an understatement. I owe you all a part of my life.
When you have good people around you to help you, willing to associate with you, you will always grow. Either they will push you to do it or you will yourself realize – ‘This is suitable for you’. The challenge is – ‘How do you make their dream, your dream.’
My answer? Just stop thinking that way. Understand that life might not give us all that ONE BIG IDEA to chase. But we all must learn to be happy with what we have, grow with it and believe in it. Believing in anything would make you grow if you work towards it.
I instilled that in Creativa India with my partner, 2 months after he brought it to life. I hope this article reaches out to a lot of aspiring entrepreneurs, people of all kinds and spreads an important message – ‘It is important to love what you do. Love why you are here and why have you got the chance to do this. There is a reason behind everything and you might not understand it. But it’s there. And it’s true.’
In good faith and best wishes,
Co-Founder | Creativa India
