On day 1 of her first job, a lifelong introvert and an IT engineer Ayesha knew in her gut, the big corporate world was not for her. She then looked back at what gave her unparalleled joy in the past to guide her future. She talks to Nalini about being a female brown founder in her early twenties, why she believes twenties might be the best time to start up. Join us as she shares how she turned her two joys- helping others and video editing into a successful, bootstrapped and (now profitable) animation studio at an age most people are only just getting used to being adults! Ayesha takes us through the crests and troughs of setting up and growing a remote business IN the pandemic, the kind of people and clients she likes to have around, how zoom might have made her work life more equitable and what's next for her.
