Hi pals,
How are you?
I have written a column on entrepreneurship in our college. My first experience is a hit!
I thought of sharing it with you the section.
—-
This section is for those species, who hates to live in the regime of boredom.
who are not demotivated by failures, but learn from them.
who takes risk like eating rusk.
who are Dare to be DiFfErEnT!
Yes! This section is for the entirely different biological family called Entrepreneurs.
You’ve always wanted to start your very own business. You dream of coming up with the next
BIG thing that will change the way business works. You want to spread your evolutionary idea to
the world.
If the above describes you, then you may find this section useful.
What is common among Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Dhirubhai Ambani, Gautam Adani and Henry Ford? Answer?
Is your answer is all are great entrepreneurs? Yes you are right, but something else also connects them.
All of them are dropouts. They don’t have fancy degrees in formal education. But they demonstrated great purpose throughout their lives and their will to innovate and learn. If you think you have been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, give treatment immediately by starting your own venture. Helen Keller, the blind and deaf American educator has quoted that, “college isn’t the place to go for ideas”.
Bakul Dholakia, the former director of IIM Ahmedabad once was questioned in an interview that whether he’ll recruit his students, if he starts a new company. Shockingly, his answer was a ‘NO’. The reason he gave was they were knowledgeable, strategically good, have strong education background, but they are not RISK TAKERS! Risk Taking is the basic requirement for an entrepreneur.
Ok fine! How can we MBAs become entrepreneurs? How can we change our lives and work for betterment of other’s lives too? How can we bring out the next BIG idea that can change the nation or the world? How can we help India in having the next APPLE or GOOGLE or PFIZER or Mercedes? How can we bring out the next Blackberry Storm or a PRIUS or a Youtube or eBay?
Simple, learn the basics of business from our MBA @ PSGIM. Try to seed your idea during your intern or summer project, or involve with a company who you think as a future competitor.
Be ethical ALWAYS. Pursue your vision with a sense of purpose. Have a Team that participates in your Dream. Be greedy for knowledge. Seize opportunity every day. Trust your instincts. Think BIG, Think DIFFERENT!
Sayonara, Take Care!
