entrepreneurship
My biggest challenge with entrepreneurship is the amount of hype it gets. We are not some modern gladiators or in the fashion parade.We don’t need all the media boost and appeasement.Some end up calling themselves entrepreneurs just for the glory and wrong reasons.

generation
How do you build an institution that outlives you? What would be the principles and methodology? One of the questions I have been thinking off-late. We have a limited generational business family like Tatas, Birlas, Marico, Reliance, and others. What would they have done differently? My limited learning suggests building a solid process and growing …
Independence
You have all the wealth needed in life. You are on the Forbes list. You are a barfly. People love you for anything and everything. Are you independent? Can you think rationally? Are you an independent thought machine?
