Life Mantra

Sports Vs Business

Business and sports share significant differences. And that's exactly what Karman had in mind when she was asked why aren't companies encouraged like sports teams?

Karman explained "Sports involve what you want to do, even business. But in sports you put the passion discipline, waking up early in the morning, doing fitness activities, eating healthy diets.You put a lot in to be at that level and just keep going through of what you have to do because if you are not fit and disciplined through the doors then it's a little bit tougher for anyone to achieve what they want."

Fitness First

Life as an entrepreneur is tough and for them taking out time to stay fit is difficult.

Karman shared fitness mantra for busy entrepreneurs,"Get time out of your busy routines, that's the tough part. Just get out and eat healthy whenever you are having your meals."

"My mum and dad had put me in tennis when I was 8 year old. Since then I started playing tennis. Gradually results started coming in and I was building up confidence in this sport," she said adding that it feels great how people are getting to know more about tennis.
