Priya Ganesh The Stigma of being an Entrepreneur

I am just in a mood to reminisce and been having some maudlin thoughts that I absolutely had to pen! I remember a while ago an elderly gentleman (and a family friend) was pleasantly enquiring about us - how the kids are doing, how is my work and our general well being. When asking about work, he asked if we were still doing our own "stuff" . To his mind people in business were those who did not manage to snag a job. For your talent and creativity you could have become an AVP at TCS by now, he… Continue

Kalyan How can we protect start ups from failing...?

I recently encountered a startling statistic that 90% of businesses that start up either close down or change hands within 1000 days. It is said that acid test for any start up is the first 1000 days (more crucial first 500 days...). The first 500 days is the time when reality hits wildly in the face and all ambitions start crashing one by one. The desperation to hold on, suffocation to escape puts great test on the zeal, passion of any entrepreneur. But, good news is that if we hold on the aci… Continue

Priya Ganesh Social Media Network and serious business

The onslaught of the social media and networking sites has caught us all in a virtual web where we feel connected only when we chat, send messages not more than 140 characters and generally feel better only when we update our status on these sites. The height of it was when one of my friends (whom I got back in touch after a long time) had to cancel our face to face meeting as he wanted to update his status on facebook and twitter that he has got back in touch with his schoolmate after 17 years!… Continue

Priya Ganesh If by Rudyard Kipling

This is a poem that I totally love. I realised early on that it is impossible to have a go at it all at once. I just take it one line at a time and count the times when i can live it. PS: it was written by Kipling when he was 31. The lines " if you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same" is written on the wall of the center court of the Wimbeldon. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you ca… Continue

Priya Ganesh Working for a living is a form of enterpreneurship

it took this trip down under for me to start thinking that being employed is also a form of enterpreneurship. there were 2 days of a marathon event we hosted for a client and the preparation took about a week when we all but camped at office. We had our own scripts to chart and the freedom to design 2 days just the way we wanted it. After the initial resistance to freedom, I think we liberated our minds to think and think some more to make an intense 2 days of discussion of numbers, scope, val… Continue

Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness read the poster i had as a teenager. I am constatly in discussions with friends who have start ups and have left some lucrative jobs to do their own stuff. Of course I admire their courage and grit.
