In this talk, Nikhil Dhir shares his journey of turning a passion for chess into a real business. From learning chess alongside his mother and facing personal loss to building a venture while working a corporate job, he reflects on the courage required to turn ideas into reality. Through stories of humble beginnings, difficult decisions, financial risks, the COVID-19 lockdown, a factory fire, and devastating floods, he highlights resilience, perseverance, and the importance of taking the next move even when life feels uncertain. His message is simple: ideas alone are not enough; real progress comes through action, sacrifice, and the determination to keep moving forward.
