Jamecho Edu2fly Pvt Ltd, an educational consultancy that would later become my entrepreneurial endeavour, began as a seed of an idea when I was just 18 years old. It was a fateful evening as I drove to a restaurant in North Delhi called Boa Village for dinner with eight of my closest friends. While glancing at a billboard along the way, inspiration struck like a lightning bolt. I saw an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students seeking educational guidance.
Eager to share my vision, I brought up the idea with my best friend, Arhaan Chopra, whom I had known for 15 years. His eyes sparkled with excitement as we discussed the potential of starting an educational consultancy that would empower and guide students toward their dreams. Enthusiasm buzzing between us, we decided to bring another close friend, Aryan Jain, into the fold. Aryan, having known him for two years, was equally passionate about the idea.
Three hours flew by as we sat in the car, engrossed in our conversation, mapping out our plans, and envisioning the impact we could make in the education sector. The energy was palpable, and by the end of that transformative discussion, we made a unanimous decision to embark on this entrepreneurial journey together.
With Arhaan’s marketing expertise, Aryan’s strategic thinking, and my entrepreneurial drive, we formed an unstoppable trio ready to tackle the challenges that lay ahead. Little did we know that this serendipitous encounter and the subsequent hours spent in the car would be the catalyst for launching Jamecho.
I am immensely grateful for Arhaan and Aryan’s unwavering support, dedication, and belief in our shared vision. Their commitment to our venture has been unwavering, and their enthusiasm has fuelled our collective drive to succeed.
As the saying goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Building a business is not a solitary journey; it is a collaborative effort that benefits from the diverse perspectives and skills of a trusted team. Surrounding yourself with the right partners can elevate your business to new heights.
In the world of entrepreneurship, having partners you can rely on is a gift. Arhaan and Aryan have not only been my partners but also my confidants, advisors, and friends. Their unwavering support and shared passion have made the highs more exhilarating and the lows more manageable.
As we reminisce about that evening and the spark of inspiration that ignited our entrepreneurial flame, we remain committed to guiding and empowering students on their educational journeys.
In the rest of this blog, I will share my experiences, lessons learned, and the importance of having good partners.
Defying Expectations: Age Is No Barrier
“Your age does not define your abilities. It’s your actions that shape your success.” – Unknown
As a young entrepreneur, it can be disheartening when people underestimate your capabilities. However, you should never let age limit your ambition. Prove your worth through hard work, dedication, and innovative ideas. Let your actions speak louder than any preconceived notions. If you have dream to chase, nothing can stop you.
Finding the Right Team

Seek employees who believe in your mission, challenge your thinking, and contribute to your growth. Remember, great things are achieved through collaboration. Finding the right team in a startup is very difficult. It requires patience, money and risk. Creating a good ethos between the team, is another challenge all together.
Embracing the Learning Journey: Every Moment Matters

Starting a business is a continuous learning process. Embrace each moment as an opportunity to grow. Learn from both successes and failures, seek guidance from mentors, and invest in your personal development. Embrace the unknown and let curiosity guide your path.
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
Leaving your comfort zone is where growth and transformation occur. Embrace discomfort, take calculated risks, and challenge yourself daily. Pushing your limits opens doors to new possibilities and reveals strengths you never knew you had.

Leaving your comfort zone may be daunting, but it opens doors to endless possibilities. Embrace each moment, celebrate the victories, and remember that age should never limit your ambitions.
