A Journey of Growth: Gratitude to My Mentors 🌟🙏

This event was a life-changing milestone for me, as I stepped out of my comfort zone to overcome significant barriers in my communication skills. Initially, I struggled with fluency in English and Hindi, but the supportive environment provided by the iQOO community helped me gain the confidence to express myself more clearly. I am deeply indebted to my mentor, Lakshay Bhaiya, iQOO Community Moderator , Come from Germany and my room mate who acted as a true idol and senior guide, teaching me the intricacies of professional event management and how to engage a large audience effectively. His guidance, along with the invaluable lessons from Ayush, Nitin, Milind, Amit, and Ajoseh Bhaiya, taught me the proper way to converse with officials and maintain leadership on the floor.

I also want to extend my sincere thanks to Parakram Sir for his mentorship, which further sharpened my professional approach. It is because of this incredible team that I have been able to build the self-belief required to stand where I am today. This journey from a hesitant student to a confident community contributor has been transformative, and I will never forget the lessons learned from these seniors. Their belief in me has laid the foundation for my future growth in the industry, and I am eternally grateful for their constant encouragement.
