Tell me about yourself and your journey.

I was a backbencher student and an average student. I played badminton professionally and had a dream of becoming a professional badminton player. I went to the district level in badminton, but my career did not go well as I had planned. Later on, I felt that I should focus on my studies because of the 12th board exam pressure. I focused on my studies and changed my routine.

?I woke up at 4' o'clock and did meditation and studies. Afterward,?I went to school and did self-study. This process went on for one year. Finally, in 12th grade, I got 94% in the board examinations.

While in grade 12, our business teacher, Mr. Rohit Bhatia, provides us the opportunity to explain business studies concepts in class to improve our knowledge and confidence. I took this chance to improve. So I participated and prepared for it till 2 a.m that night. The next day, when I had to give the presentation, I forgot everything and translated English words into Hindi. In our class, a guy stood up and said he translated English into Hindi, which I can do too.

The event shattered my confidence completely, but Sir said trying is important, which I did, but I take things a little personally. After that, I started participating in the presentation and talking with my classmates. Also, I started reading self-improvement books, which improved my academic score and gave me confidence.

?Further,?when I entered college, I started writing a blog on self-improvement. Also, I started making videos on it, which gave me 40,000 followers on Instagram. ?

How passionate are you about being a content creator?

?If you are creating content for likes, comments, subscribers, and followers, then it will not be useful in the long run. My page was stuck at 15k followers for two years. What keeps me going is that I am passionate about creating content to inspire people to read the book and impact their lives. Numbers are fascinating but not useful in the long run.

Tell me about Two2 Projects.

My brother and I started two2projects before that, we were freelancers, where I created videos, and my brother created graphics for the business. We have analysed the gap that founders need to build businesses digitally on social media, and content creators want the content to be impressive. From there, our entrepreneurship journey began.

Our brand name is two2projects, which comes from the surname Tuteja. In my school and college, we are called by the name Tutu. We want a name connected to us, so we keep the name two2projects.

What do you believe is the USP of Two2 Projects?

?The USP of Two2 Projects is the quality of the services we deliver to the client.

?Tell me about your experience with Groww.

?They have started their YouTube channel, Groww Plus. I took the opportunity to create videos for the Groww YouTube channel. I learned many things from there, and it was a great experience.

?Who is your inspiration?

?There are a lot of people who inspired me. Sandeep Maheshwari is one of them. I have been listening to him since childhood, and today also, I listen to him. I can't express how much he has inspired me.

?What is your future plan?

?When I started Two2 Projects and became the founder, I realised there that I was a person who couldn't live with one identity before I was an Instagrammer and now founder.

?I plan to focus on Two2 Projects, and I am planning to write a book.

?What is one thing you want to change in society?

?There is a lot of pressure on youngsters to make their career from their parents, so youngsters should get the time to figure out what they want to do. Also, they should communicate with their parents about their decision and inform them how things are going.

?What is your message to your fellow mates?

My message for fellow mates is that society will always be an obstacle in your path. Take the first step that your heart says. It will take time, but things will go in the right direction; you must be patient and have the energy to keep going. You will see yourself as a changed person.
