The MBA qualification from good institute is the best possible ‘income insurance’ you can get in India today. So if at all there is anyone who can take risks with a low downside, it has to be you!
My advice to ‘would be’ entrepreneurs – nothing is perhaps a greater truism that the ‘3 year rule’- if you are able to hang on and survive for 3 years, you’ll be up and running and by the fourth year, you will be better off as an entrepreneur than you’d have been in a job. I’ve seen this happen in my own three efforts that I have been involved with as start ups, and with several friends I’ve seen build business as well.
Just try and experience the joy of ‘giving’ first hand. Give your time, money, skills to people who need it, and help improve their lives, and trust me, you will get far more joy out of it than anything else.
…somehow the idea that the MBA degree gives you much more access to more opportunities, financially you will be much well off, that in turn is empowering.
In social entrepreneurship, one should see himself as an instrument or tool that is available to society.
…whenever you look into the things that make a difference to the quality of our lives, we somehow think there is no need to apply scientific thought.
I think if there is passion in environment, people pick it up. I have seen it in every place I have worked in.
In America, every school that I went to… there was this sense of civic responsibility, that as a citizen it is our duty to help
