Title: Shortlisted, Ankur Warikoo Freelancing Founding Batch Scholarship 2025

About: I was shortlisted (161 out of 878 applicants) for the interview round of the Freelancing Founding Batch Scholarship by Ankur Warikoo. The selection process was truly more than just signing up. It asked detailed questions about my goals, mindset, and approach to freelancing.

My Work: Preparing for the interview made me reflect deeply on:

- How truly skilled I am and how to position my skills.

- What freelancing actually means beyond Instagram reels.

- How to design freelancing as a serious, sustainable, long-term career path.

Answering those questions was not easy. It absolutely made me think about my value, the kind of     clients I want to serve, and the structure I need to build to succeed.

This was an important step, regardless of the final result, in beginning my freelancing journey, and I am committed to keep learning and to make the most of opportunities.
