From university dorm room to Dragons' Den

The Everyday Hustle Sonya Barlow

Sonya is joined by Dhruvin Patel, the founder of Ocushield.

Sonya speaks to Drhuvin Patel, the founder of Ocushield, which makes protective screens for devices like your phone or laptop, to protect your eyes from blue light. Dhruvin made the most of the resources at university while studying optometry to create a product he was passionate about, and then launched Ocushield. He later went on to appear on 大象传媒's Dragons' Den, where he was offered investment from both Peter Jones and Tej Lalvani, but chose to decline their offers, which he explains to Sonya. Dhruvin also shares his top tips on how you can approach business owners and professionals for advice and mentorship to help you with your career journey.
