We were lucky to catch up with Neha Kunte recently and have shared our conversation below.

Neha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?

I don’t think I would have chosen to start my business sooner or later. Here is my philosophy, I like to live in the present and think about future world. What has happened in past, cannot be changed, that’s the reality. So why spend time over something that cannot be changed. The best thing to do is what can be done now and how it will help us in future. I started my business in 2004, but we started working in it since 2006. I will be honest, that I was not so ambitious then as we were expecting our 2nd baby. My priorities were different, but I was happy that we had started somewhere. Things changed dramatically (in a. good way) in 2011 when we got our very first Govt contract. We added full time employees and the company started shaping the way we were expecting. I was comparing myself with me. Where I was and where am I today. We were growing slowly but organically. I increased community engagements. This came naturally to me. The passion was serving the community and leveraging the freedom to make difference in my style. We diversified our offerings from software development to staffing services. This allowed us growth for sure. 2018, we started offering training services with gamified platform. There is a lot to be achieved and with new leadership, we have more head, hearts and hands to work together, and I am just glad to be it that way.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Let me share the recent one. I had this client in govt space on my wish list. I was doing my due diligence of attending every Prebid meeting that was conducted by their procurement department. I kept in touch with few key personnel and attended most of their events. I came across this opportunity for Training, and we decided to respond. We won that bid! Although the value of this bid was very small, this was a big win for us. We got this opportunity after almost 3 years of wait. Because of our persistence, we are continuing to get work from them. This not only gave us a success story but gave us lot of courage to keep up with our resilience.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Social media presence is now a necessity. Small business owners are brand ambassadors for their companies. I prefer LinkedIn for brand creation for MNK. It gives global visibility for every post. The audience will appreciate your business, community leadership, and academic excellence work. Building my audience on this platform and continuing to share feeds to keep them engaged is easy on LinkedIn. There is a sense of belonging, and I get validation for the work and effort our team does. Also, I get to see some great work done by other businesses and community leaders, and I get the opportunity to learn from the same. I highly recommend investing on any social media where you can get your potential customers and keep your current ones informed.
