“A lot of young people don’t understand the power of getting out of your comfort zone… I tell people a lot that you’re not going to achieve much once you’re in your own bubble… life’s greatest moments are one step away from your comfort zone, and it’s just all about taking the initiative,” – Tanroop Mahal
