Quotes:
   *Comparing Kills Art!
   *You are your own USP.
   * When you compare, you don't collaborate!
   *Go After Being Different, don't go after being the best,  when you go after being the best you are kind of competing.   When you are different you need to compete with anyone, people will come to you for what you provide. 
    *You don't need to know everything before you start, you just go do it, you will find your path. 
    *Leadership is Service, you are serving your team to grow,  to be happy.
    *You don't have to be perfect as a leader, you are human too. Just say sorry for your mistakes, your team would relate to you more.
    *If you think you have reached the top, and you think you can't grow more,  there is only one way is the way down- Rohit's Mom.
     *People have more degrees and less sense.
