At that time she realized that when an organization is big and someone wants to bring a change, it takes a lot of time as people need to get approvals from different levels of power. There are processes for every single decision.

So she thought that if she wants to bring a change which is giving marketing a futuristic direction. So she believed in creating a push and she realized that not having decision-making power pushed her to make her own agency.

She started off as a software engineer then she switched to designer. She wanted to make a difference, and that’s why she started this agency.
