Sahil, in a message to budding entrepreneurs, said "We faced tough times related to product development, team and funds, but as the old saying goes. Tough times don’t last but tough people do and so does the startup / company. When I chose the path of entrepreneurship I decided that there is no turning back. Turning your idea into reality takes lot of efforts. Sometimes I felt as if there are a million disassembled pieces of a puzzle and I have to complete it without an image, the image of the complete puzzle you hold is only in your mind."
