Possessing the same skills, Gulrez Alam, founder-director of Teamology Softech And Media Services Pvt. Ltd focuses on digital PR and making digital services affordable to MSEs and social media influencers with limited budgetary constraints so that it is easy for startups to invest.

Struggling financially for more than a year, Gulrez Alam realized that to do something big and make a name for himself he needs to stand up with a strong will and determination for making his dreams come to life. With his mother's incessant support, he stood his ground and moved forward to obtain a degree in computer applications.

To pursue his further studies after BCA, he went on to do his Master's too in Computer Application.

This experience changed the course of his life even further, as he left his comfortable, well-paying career to pursue information about the digital world. This is an inspiration for budding entrepreneurs to never lose faith despite facing a plethora of challenges as there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
