Sai Snata Dash

An award by CM of Odisha in the Entrepreneurship Category organized by Argus News in Yuva Prativa Samman 2025.

Okay I don't have much to say. Everyone's happy. But people only see success but not the silent failures and rejections and all the exhausted nights that come with entrepreneurship. I'm just glad and I think such recognitions and failures they both go hand in hand. What matters is how focused you are about where you want to reach.

How Strange right? We always expect empathy from them who hurt us!!

A kind of person who tried to understand people even when they hurt me.. And still tried to continue the relation without hurting them back!

It's been 2 decades since I born on this earth. Yes I turned 20 today!

I call myself a Student by profession, Techie by passion an accidental Entrepreneur by heart!

Exactly 4 years back I heard the word "Entrepreneurship" for the very first time. And the concept for me was simple, an Entrepreneur is someone who pursued his/her goal no matter what came their way. And that was the moment when I decided I wanted to do this.

But it wasn't an easy journey, Team building was the hardest part, I had zero knowledge of how to get started. But through the passage of time I learnt. And from that day, I never looked back!

For me my career was started from class 5th when I got bullied, realised and got hurt for the first time. So 10+ years, hundreds of dreams, 2 international recognitions, 50+ certifications, Been a delegate to Harvard US-India Initiative, Young Indians Challenge, delivered talks at more than 200+ public places and conferences, Been a Chapter Director of Start-up Grind, a global startup community, 1 Harvard Certificate, 1 Global Civilian honour i.e. Karmaveer Chakra, the award which has been given to Amul Founder Verghese Kurien, Actor Anupam Kher and many more great personnels, Selection in Thiel Fellowship, 20 under the age 20 Fellowship in World, 10+ poems being published, Around 10k+ Social Network, 3k+ great contacts, 200+ songs that I recorded as a hobby, One love story that didn't work out, a Family that never loved, a Mother that supported and fought alone for me as a single parent, 2 best friends that left, 2 times when I attempted su***de, innumerable times got depressed, few panic attacks, worked on few start-up ideas, a lot of times team broke, I tried to give up, a lot of down times and rough days, Some people left and few are still standing by me, a huge bulky bag of good memories, and currently with my laptop, one bowl of Muesli & a cup of green tea, Fit, Peaceful, Zero regrets and 1 goal, GRASSION.

The journey has been challenging, tough and still continues to be adventurous.

Calm, Blessed, Hustling, Up and Grateful always.. .🙏🏻 🌸😇 🌟

Somewhere it has been rightly said; you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.. . .

In today's World the biggest confusion is that you never know who's Praying for you and who's Playing with you.. . 👤
