by Enable PS

Abhishek Gupta joined Enable after he spoke to Enable Managing Director Bruce Hara because the vision for Enable was articulated very well.

“I could see that I can definitely be a part of the journey that Bruce spoke about. It was a thrilling challenge then, which proved to right and I am loving it.”

Abhishek has more than 7 years’ experience with ServiceNow, and has enjoyed a long career in the IT industry.

He is inspired by a Winston Churchill quote “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”

“What I really love about this quote is that the fear of failure or pleasure of victory can sometime distract us from our path. As Mark Zuckerberg said that “the biggest risk is not taking any risk”. I believe what satisfies me is the effort that we put in and the courage with which we participate, as no one can’t guarantee the result but we can ensure that “we give our best and leave the rest”.
