The biggest benefit of living in the 21st century is that one gets an opportunity to learn various skills and diversify careers. Unlike our previous generations, we can change our profession at any point of time and can work in multiple areas if we want.

After graduation, Vik started as the President of Sherman International Corporation and then soon decided to work in the steel industry.

Currently, Liberty produces 1 million tons of steel in the USA, has over 2500 employees, and has annual revenues of over $1B. Now that’s outstanding!

Being a super-successful entrepreneur, Vik Sharma sends a beautiful message to young minds who are gearing up to take the world by storm. “Never let anyone tell you can’t do something. Just because someone is doing something already, doesn’t mean you can’t do it better,” he says.
