Bizom was where I got the taste of freedom – freedom to experiment, to express, to work with complete autonomy, a chance of being my own boss, and to unapologetically fail and ask for help. It was this very part of Bizom that made me come back for my second stint in 2016 after being a part of the company back in 2013.
Bizom is all about the people. Back in the day, it was just a handful of us—a mere eight souls—trying to make things happen. Shree, Bhupendra, and Srinidhi provided immense support during my early days. I’ve had the privilege of working with incredibly talented and dedicated colleagues who are constantly inspiring me. They didn’t just inspire me; they pushed me to be my absolute best. The culture of collaboration and support here makes me feel like an integral part of a team, where I can always rely on my colleagues for assistance.
Navigating challenging situations involved learning to communicate effectively with colleagues of diverse personalities and work styles. Setting boundaries and standing up for myself was crucial, and although it was difficult, it contributed significantly to my personal growth. There were times when I encountered moments of challenge. Fortunately, Nikhil provided understanding and support, guiding me towards better task management and prioritization.
Bizom stands out for its commitment to employee growth. Embracing new challenges, for example, leading a team was initially daunting. Stepping out of my comfort zone was intimidating, but I decided to give it a shot. This experience proved to be invaluable, boosting my confidence and providing immense learning opportunities.
For newcomers at Bizom, I would advise embracing your personality at work. While professionalism is crucial, authenticity is equally important. Don’t shy away from taking risks; they are essential for personal and professional development. Making mistakes is natural; what matters is the learning derived from them. Believe in your capabilities, and don’t hesitate to explore your full potential.
