I was once a kid with immense potential and crazy intrigues and yet it was wasted every single day because of the lack of resourceful places and mentors to help me navigate.

However, I did one day find my chance to learn from many mentors and resources that I used to the fullest and at just 16 years of age, it changed the way I looked at the world. The impact of these mentors was so strong that it still helps me in countless ways.

When I came across Chottay Sikkay as an adult, I knew this was my chance to make way for the newer generations. To help these kids have a sense of purpose and direction that they need to transform their lives and make a better future for themselves and their coming generations.

One kid at a time.

I wasn’t the best student while growing up and frankly I don’t remember much of what I learned in school except for the poem “The Road not Taken” by Robert Frost. By having the courage to make decisions this poem not only changed my perception about myself but no matter how big or small the decision is, it has an impact on your life and the world around you.

Creating Chottay Sikkay and being a part of it is the best decision I took despite having a long and continuous career I have as an HR Professional. And through Chottay Sikkay I want every child to have the courage, knowledge, and understanding that they matter, and in every step of their life they will see divergent roads ahead of them to choose from just like I did and “I took the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference.”

Chottay Sikkay is an extraordinary and unique initiative aimed at developing the entrepreneurial spirit in kids at an early age. The idea is fascinating as it not only makes kids independent, but also plays an integral part in creating a better Pakistan. Transforming kids into Entrepreneurs is what they do and this is exactly what is needed!

I am very excited and honored to be a contributor to the project. Children need to be acclimatized to Entrepreneurship from a young age. They need to develop the ability to tune their minds to think freely and creatively, beyond conventions. A system that will give them this ability will become the educational system of the future.

Entrepreneurship isn't a skill or profession, but a lifestyle, a lifestyle that helps one vision, act, and react for a higher purpose than just breathing and making money. Chottay Sikkay is an impressive startup as it aims to instill this lifestyle in our generation when they are in their prime time. It will not only polish the mindsets of the next generation, but help them explore what they are best at and how they can improve the world with their potential; an act capable of making better tomorrows.

Age is not a measure of Knowledge, Wisdom, or even Experience. Passion is a drive, which embarks you on a journey of Exploration, Challenges, Excitement, Knowledge, and above all Self Awareness.

Chottay Sikkay is that voyage of Self Awareness for our Young Ones which would help them to unravel their Passion and their Strength, and express their Personality with a whole new Introduction!

I believe this because I am a father of two and have been a little part of Chottay Sikkay myself. I know the honest intention, relentless research, hard work, and team's fervent zeal behind it. Chottay Sikkay is very close to my heart and I am very proud of this connection.

I am convinced that it's imperative that our children discover their unique abilities by diving into their Why, What, When, Where, and How? Not much later, but Now!
