The power of the Human Spirit! One of things I love and enjoy about going for events is meeting new people and making new friends At the recently concluded #FinovateEurope in London I had the privilege and honour of meeting the dynamic entrepreneur?Surajeet Bhuinya and his equally accomplished business partner Sachin. Chatting with Surajeet was entertaining but most importantly it educated me. This guy is building an amazing company in?Moonjelly a fantastic Gen AI platform for Finance. Not only that he already successfully?runs a Data and AI consultancy in?DataPebbles. Surajeet is a firm believer in running a business which is lean and profitable. He has done this so well with DataPebbles and no doubt will achieve?great things?with?Moonjelly too. It is always enriching meeting people like Surajeet! He is not only a go getter but more importantly a wonderful, kind human being! It showcases the power of the human mind and human tenacity. It highlights a true?bright entrepreneurial?spirit that finds most contentment in achieving great things. I wish Surajeet the very best in all his endeavours and I certainly will be rooting for him all the way! ?? ?? ?? Tag someone in the comments who inspires you!
