How to become an entrepreneur at a young age
April 04, 2008
A passion to work
Not many people like to take risks though they may have great ideas. What drives you?
It's a passion to work, work differently. There is no fun in doing conventional jobs. This is a very exiting time for the media industry, we see lot of big opportunities and it is great to be a part of it.
What are your views on economic slowdown, inflation in India and US? How do you plan to sustain the company at a difficult time like this?
The economy is going through a recession, the economy as a whole is suffering. Prices are zooming but this has not affected the media industry, nor the rich. The rich are getting richer and spending more. So it is all the more challenging for marketers to sell their products aggressively. This will turn out to be a great opportunity for us.
Internet is also a booming media and I don't think the recession will have any impact on the Internet or the marketing sectors. The US economy is going through a troubled phase but it will be on track. The Fed rate cuts should bring respite to the economy.
What do you think about India's talented youth?
Talent is a very subjective issue. A commerce student may be more talented than an IIT student. Just because you score 99% in your exams, you don't become talented. A lot of people in India are academically oriented. Most of them are left brain users (analytical). It's is very important to use both right and left sides to be creative and analytical.
