"I'm a finance nerd with a business acumen. For me the big challenge was putting the team together. Getting to work with the right people. A lot of what I did was not textbook entrepreneurship. I was a solo founder. I was doing something very tech-heavy, which I didn't have a background in. But it's all about putting the right team together. That's the first thing I did. I knew what I wanted, I found the right people, and put together the right team to implement what I wanted to do.”-- Farrukh Malik, Photo: @rawbeez
