There are many companies doing marketing for veterinary and to survive was the major challenge I faced, where I had to compete with corporate companies and small local companies.

I have worked as a consultant Homeopath and in IT as Sr. Business Analyst. Both the fields were different than what I have studied and what I have worked in the USA.
