Often it is said that to be successful you need to dream, belief, aspire and most importantly work hard. I believe ‘yes’ these components are true and very much important to achieve success in life. But in 2005, two young guys embarked their journey of entrepreneurship. They defied everyone who stood in their way of glory and started a journey called ‘GLIMMERIZE’. They were determined to proof the world that it takes more than dreams, beliefs, aspiration and hard work to achieve success; it takes a “Crazy Impulse” to write off critics. And this is what still stands tall after 7 years since its inception.
Let’s wind back seven from today; a visualizer, stepped out of his house, only because he believed he could dream big. He wanted to paint his world with the colors he wanted. He dared, dreamt and was destined to reach the scaled heights he is on today. Matching his appetite was a young enthusiastic guy, who had a point to prove to everyone; coming from an illustrious background and born with a golden spoon, life was always about things been handed over. But one day he just stopped taking, and stepped outside to build something of his own. As fate would have it, these two invincible’s crossed each other’s path, became friends/co-founders of Glimmerize.
Their dream was common, their blood had the defiance and their minds had a mission. They already knew when they stepped out of the house, that they were on the highway to hell and there is no looking back thereafter. Finally they managed to start from a one spare room; one of their families provided and worked 24x7x365, to establish themselves as an Advertising Agency. With nothing to lose and the world to conquer, and their endeavor to be the best had just began. Finally lady luck smiled, and got them their first big project which they missioned successfully. Now the wheels were turning, and work flow from that small room shifted to a bigger space and then to finally hiring people to work with them.
By the year 2011, Glimmerize had all the major clients and expanded their office space and staff accordingly. But the hunger of these to indigenous entrepreneurs just did not satisfy. They wanted more; they wanted to grow not only in India but also worldwide. So with a help of a friend/business partner they expanded their business to Information Technology sector as an IT Solutions company and going global by marking their presence in the United Kingdom, GlimGifts: a gifting venture, where people could send gifts online and that turned out to be even a bigger success.
Now, the year 2012 Glimmerize is on the verge of establishing their business in United States. It is with a greater impulse that Glimmerize has now entered in the IT Sector to provide world class technological solutions and make the virtual world as simple as it can be.
The success story morals us to dream, desire and believe in ourselves. The path of glory isn’t easy, but to work and walk towards it is best way to approach.
“It’s easy to be successful, it’s hard work to sustain it; the secret is to have “Crazy Impulse””
