Being a part of Rotaract has been a great help for me and my startup. It has helped me to Network and reach out to many people by means of mouth-to-mouth publicity, social media support, etc. It’s true that Rotaract gives you more than what you give to Rotaract. when things were in lock-down, I along with Rotaract Club of Smart City Navi Mumbai started with Quarantine Bioscope - An Online Short Film Festival. Getting speakers, celebrities for Rotaract projects has helped me to connect with a lot of famous personalities. And 3 years down the line it has become one of the finest International short film festival.
My motto is to promote financial education among youth. Rotaract has given me that platform to reach out to the youths and encourage them to micromanage their finances. I have conducted many sessions on financial Literacy which has helped me in managing their financial portfolios. A win win situation for both, I get to expand my business and the youth learn to manage their finances.
In the month of February 2020 i started getting panic attacks and with no time it started draining my energy. I would sometimes feel that i’m going to fall and there would be no one to help me. In July 2020 I joined Rotaract after seeing a PR message related to my condition. Rotaract made me aware of mental health and it's importance. I was a overthinker, most of my thoughts were negative and always about that people around me are judging me. Being a part of Rotaract gave me an opportunity to interact with people and explore various things which in turn helped me to stay active and not get bogged down by my own mind.
Rotaract has helped in alot of ways one of which is getting good friends throughout the movement, let it be some project, Installations, Red or Rise. In RED as I was the Assistant Contingent Leader for Zone 1. I Got to interact with all the participants daily, which also helped me make some good friends.
