GL: Tell us a little bit about business journey. What motivated and excited you to start it?

Jyothi: Way back in 2006 the market was opening up for entrepreneurs and I made up my mind to be an entrepreneur. That was when I ventured on my pet project of starting a new media agency. I decided to give it a head start and there was no looking back. Shubang Communications was set up as an integrated communications, advertising, media and publishing agency.
