Me	Good morning, Mr. Desai. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me today. May I ask, what motivated you to start your company?
Mr. Desai	Good morning! I saw an opportunity in this field, and my enthusiasm to make and trade the best quality traditional clothes across all the states in India motivated me to start this company.
Me	That sounds inspiring! Could you tell me about some of the challenges you faced while building your company?
