“With a team of subject matter experts, we pride ourselves in the knowledge that we possess, be it of technical terminologies or pop-culture references.”
Sanket Joshi (Founder & MD, EarningsScript)
They say zero-to-hero stories are only real in movies but Sanket Joshi defied the notion and scripted his story of triumph in the real world. His journey dates back to the year 2007 when, after completing his education in Animation from Pune, he returned to his hometown, Aurangabad, to find his first corporate job. Although the initial attempt gave him a chance to work as a Faculty at an animation institute, the low pay prompted him to wait for a better opportunity. As fate would have it, a friend then suggested a position in an English call centre, which Sanket saw as a temporary solution until he could find a role in his field of expertise.
It turned out to be a transcription company, a field entirely unknown to Sanket. He took the opportunity, earning 7,000 per month and focused on learning over immediate financial gains. Within the first year, he earned six promotions.
In 2011, bit by an entrepreneurial bug, Sanket started his first venture– a food-related website when he was only 24 years old. Although it flourished initially, a partner’s exit due to financial challenges led to its closure in 2013. Undeterred, he launched another business in partnership with two more people, but it too faced setbacks, leading to his exit.
Returning to the corporate world in 2014, Sanket got a breakthrough in one of the top companies in Hyderabad and eventually worked for another Fortune 500 company, marking the beginning of a successful corporate career. However, the pursuit of personal satisfaction led him to strategic career moves. He set up a transcription department for a UK-based bank in Delhi and became a managing editor for an Australia-based IT firm. Further, Sanket returned to his hometown as an Operations Manager for a transcription and translation firm, where he learnt to interact with clients, hire and train people and started a new vertical.
Sanket was now ready to rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit again. Having juggled different balls in 13 years of extensive career, it’s time for him to take the plunge and incept his own transcription company in Feb 2021. Despite scepticism and naysayers labelling his move as foolish, Sanket persevered and never looked back.
He shares, “Everyone titled my move a stupidity. According to them, I was digging my own grave but I pulled the trigger one more time and finally, as they say, Third Time’s the Charm. The company was up and running with six people. In the third year, the company achieved a major milestone, crossing a mark of 80 employees within 2.8 years. The story continues and thrives,” shares Sanket.
The Power of Looking ‘Within’ In Times of Crisis
Life unfolds with its share of good as well as bad days. The key lies in looking deep within ourselves rather than seeking the solutions outside. Sanket’s journey has been a series of rollercoasters, exploring unexplored territories. He never left improvising on himself which made him reach a level wherein the art of letting go comes more naturally.
Sanket shares the perfect example, “It took 1,000 efforts for Thomas Edison to invent the bulb. Those 1,000 failures taught him the correct way of doing things. One correct way invented the Bulb and changed the future. Each failure is a lesson. I believe in being experimental. In my journey of experimenting time and again, I have taught myself to stay detached from failures.”
With an experimental mindset, critical decision-making, emotional intelligence and psychological thinking, Sanket aspires to make EarningsScript a nationwide renowned transcription company.
