World in this company your company has been one which is in a field of finance and for me that is a fascination because i’m a chartered accountant by profession you can see by default but then i went into a process of becoming an investment banker 20 years of hardcore investment banking in active world and the balance 20 years also been an investor banking plus
Doing startups the interesting part of the story has been that while the investment banking work and the financial markets work was exciting what i found to be really really enjoy who was a stock experience way back in 1999 or so the story goes i started getting excited about what a start-up can do and what can be done to disrupt the global economy as well as
The indian economy in the process i discovered something which was interesting ii-in startups you have something known as disruption you have innovation you have excitement and last but not the least i have been in 14 startups 8 i must tell you i have sold it as multi factors 3 i must confess i have lost money and taught me a lot to be a successful failure and
I’m running the balance 3 at this moment of course i’ve not taken contact wrap into consideration being a mentor here but what i would really love to say is that startup teaches you above all three things a to be grounded b to be humility personified c to be knowing how to have the go to market in place because unfortunately at times we are here to innovate but
We never have the capacity or i should say the bravado to say that we will enter the marketplace we will test the product and we will come to a conclusion whether the product is be good or not so good and then go to the next version unfortunately at times what i’ve seen in a start-up spaces we tend to first get into the product say that we go to the market the go
To market never comes and then we are off to version 2 and be having saw stood money we have cash bond sometimes great idea a great product that comes waste because we had a fear the unknown the fear of going to the market the fear of possibly being rejected but we never thought about the possibility of a great success story in place so my experience the last
20 years tells me if you’re in a startup be brave be bold be confident and be really really looking forward to going to the market to show your way because ultimately the customers can take the feedback and never mind if it’s a rejection we’ll come back and come out with a winner you will be a winner with the startups always our multi backers if you’ve got it
