My Journey at SVP
Warren Buffet in his note explaining his reason for the pledge made the point that it’s a relatively easy decision to give money which one doesn’t need, but much tougher to really commit the most precious asset of any individual, i.e time. SVP is an initiative that provides the platform to do so. My experience in mentoring Udayan Care has been very rewarding and I look forward to SVP becoming a really scalable platform for lots of like-minded people.
