9) Tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of.
I was born and brought up in Patna, Bihar in a middle-class family.
During my school days, I was very notorious and was not at all studious. I did every other thing than studying. However, I came to Delhi for my higher studies. I was always inclined towards different Languages. I followed my interest and completed my Bachelors in German Literature and Translation from Jawaharlal Nehru University. As 20 years old I had big dreams but no funds. Thanks to friends and relatives for their monetary and emotional support I came to Germany. And done Masters in German Literature and Translation from the University of Rostock. After all these experiences, I registered my Company in Berlin and I think it is one of my greatest accomplishment and I am proud of it.

I handle pressure by not procrastinating tasks. I firmly believe in time management and client relationship management.
