Dear Readers!
Which job did Adam and Eve
seek after eating the forbidden
apple?
Mankind was not born as an
employee. We were
entrepreneurs. Things changed
much later.
An important challenge for
India is not to create jobs but to
create, support and sharpen
entrepreneurship to take
advantage of MISIDICI – Make
in India, Skill India, Start-up
India, Digital India and Clean
India.
Time to act is NOW!
Cheers,

Examine your inner challenge
Are you planning to take up Entrepreneurship
because it is an in-thing to do?
Are you entering this arena just because you are
out of the job and there is not enough coming
your way?
Think hard. Enter only for pressing compulsive
passionate reason.

- Rajiv Khurana
N
Neutralize negativity
People will tell you to play safe. Few succeed,
thousands fail. Listen to them. Smile. Learn from
them about the reasons for failure. Prepare
yourself to create caution and precaution. Learn
from those who have succeeded. There are
reasons for success too. Be positive. Dream
better. Get ready.
T
Take the risk
You are not going to climb the Mount Everest.
Even if you are, others have been there before
you. You are going to take a risk and not a
gamble. There are more risks in a job each day.
Do your home work properly. This will prepare
you better and mitigate the risk. Be bold.

R
Re-assure yourself
Excuses have no uses. Trust yourself. Henry Ford
once said, “If you think you can or if you think
you can’t, you are right.” You have been
successful during the past in so many things.
Believe your capabilities or sit down to write all
the reasons you are going to be a failure in your
enterprise. Sleep thereafter.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
- Rajiv Khurana
E
Express your vision
You are not a juggler. It is tough to keep all the
ideas in your mind and keep juggling them. It
makes sense to put them on a piece of paper.
Keep writing. Keep reviewing. Keep correcting.
Take opinion from others. Crystalize what you
desire. Your vision for the enterprise, your
mission and goals are critical. Invest time.
P
Pick passionate area
You need to choose an area for your business.
What should you choose? The one with lot of
money or least amount of botheration! It is your
choice. Identify an area of business or service
where your hear lies. Remember Confucius,
“Choose a career you love and you will never
have to work a day in your life.”

R
Ready your resources
Depending upon your business, you will need a
lot many of them, e.g., People, Place, Money,
Technical and Commercial support etc.
Contingency plans would be needed. Choose
people selectively. Hire less but hire the right
quality. Groom them or get them groomed
appropriately. Outsource as much as you can
afford.
Getting into
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
- Rajiv Khurana
E
Enthuse and energise yourself
All days are not going to be the same. Lull times,
bad times and tough times will keep coming back
to you at regular intervals. Keeping your self
motivation high may become a tough challenge.
Remember the old maxim, “This too shall pass”.
Your energy and motivation is going to rub on
your team and family. Be a good shock-absorber
for them.
N
Network with right people
Your company matters. Revolve around negative,
unethical and short-term focused people and
there is every likelihood of your becoming the
same. Search for more successful and ethical role
models for yourself. Toss ideas and share your
experiences. Benefit from theirs. Exponential
development happens when you keep your mind
open.

E
Evaluate options and terms for investment
This is a tricky area. Seek professional help. In
need for funds, many entrepreneurs accept
tough conditions and percentage. Be watchful
and go cautious! Try to go to financial
institutions, banks or avail government schemes
before venturing out for private equity. You can
attract angel investors better after your first
proof-of-delivery.

U
Understand customers’ needs
Customers needs should be top most on your
priority list. Understand the needs that he can
articulate well including his pain points vis-à-vis
his expectations from products or services. More
important shall be the needs which you can
deduce as the unarticulated needs of your
customers – the ones he may have but is not in a
position to express appropriately. Work on them.
Develop/refine your products or services to take
care of them. Some may not provide the right
response or receive acceptability. That’s part of
business. BUT the one/s that may click will give
you phenomenal dividend. Work wisely. Deliver
well. Enjoy the big pie.

Restrain your spending purse
Avoid being a miser but be watchful about any
tendency to go overboard in your spending. Put
‘value for money’ to good use when you go in for
your capital and operational expenses. However,
be generous with people expenses. Keep them
satisfied and spend a bit more on their
happiness. Involve them in economizing in other
areas. They may surprise you.

Stay close to Industry
Join industry associations. Participate in their
events. Interact well with various speakers and
participants. Thrive on the networking. Keep
yourself high on the learning curve. Share your
learning with others. Mentor newcomers.

Hire a coach
You may be a Sachin Tendulkar in your business
and know everything. But even Sachin needed a
coach to help him with finer nuances of playing.
While you may routinely be administering your
business effectively, innovating your business is a
different ball game. Go to someone who
understands the way of doing business and
multiply your impact. Use this coach or mentor
as a business fitness expert or else you may need
him some day to help you with problem solving
for the mess partially created by your own doing.

Ideate regularly
A helicopter view of how you are doing is
regularly required for timely course correction.
Generate more and more ideas. Be dynamic.
Thrive better.
P
Play and balance
Find any interest that can help you to relax and
enjoy. Too much of work can be stressful. Work
life balance is the need you must cater to.
Rejuvenate often!

Family ventures in India serve as the backbone of
the economy. Name any field of business or social
initiative, and families in India would have played a
pivotal role.
Family businesses have their own unique style and
culture which keep evolving over the time. Market
opportunities have been expanding globally;
technology has been helping in the need and speed
of delivery and the social and family milieu has
created new dimensions in control and decision-
making power-centres, besides the newer
generation aspiring for new avenues or seeking a
higher and faster stake in the enterprise.
Complexities have been rising and so has the
commitment to succeed.
Globally, businesses are seeking professional
MENTORS for advice, strength and support. In
India, highly aware families have followed suit.
Some are gearing up, while a large number still live
in the comfortable bliss of ignorance.
You too can easily reach out to a MENTOR
if you identify your family business with any of
these illustrative needs:

is letting them take charge of
your career.
You have the highest stake in
your career. You decide.
Help for short-term clarity to
