To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” — Winston Churchill Change is the only constant in life. Though it may seem paradoxical, it's undeniably true. In this post, I want to share a significant change in my life. After dedicating 20 years of my career to banking, I have made the bold decision to leave the corporate world and pursue my dream of entrepreneurship. This wasn't an easy choice, but it was an essential one. While my time in the banking industry, particularly within commercial banks, has been incredibly rewarding, I’ve often felt constrained by its limitations. I have reached a point where, after acquiring valuable experience and expertise, it feels like the right moment for a new chapter. My journey from a curious and ambitious young boy in India to a banking professional in the UAE has been transformative. I've gained knowledge and insights that go far beyond what words can capture, and now I’m ready to channel these learnings into my entrepreneurial ventures. With a focus on Project Management Services, I’m also expanding into specialized trade and IT software solutions. Embracing this entrepreneurial journey comes with its fair share of challenges, but I am fortunate to have the unwavering support of my family and friends. Their encouragement continues to inspire me every step of the way. As someone in my forties, ready to start fresh, I can wholeheartedly say: that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.Before founding Versatile Group, Alok Shrivastav gained extensive experience in banking and real estate across major global cities including London, Kuala Lumpur, and Dubai.
