I spent a lot of time doing side hustles in school. I got in trouble with the teacher multiple times because they said that the rates at which I was selling were not fair. And I was like, well, if people are willing to pay something, then you're creating a market out of something. My name's Amrita Basin. My company's called Satira, and we are workflow and compliance automation powered by AI. So I've always been having my own businesses, whether it was e-com or whether it was like selling physical items growing up as a kid. It's always been a passion of mine. I see a lot of these big companies. I want to build something big like that. I didn't have to leave or go anywhere super far away to be able to do that.
