Founder,CEO&Managing Director of Entrepreneurship Immersion Program Enterprise
From the desk of Entrepreneurship Immersion Program Enterprise Chairman
and Managing Director:- I recently went through the lists of student
entrepreneur business plan competition winners over the last few years. The
depressing finding was that very few of these companies seem to have
survived up to today. Why is that? There is nothing wrong with the
competitions themselves, as they are great vehicles to promote
entrepreneurial careers among India’s youngsters. However, too many
competition winners (especially in the tech space) believe that simply
creating a great tech product is enough to create a great company, which
will be snapped up by a tech giant for millions of dollars. Media hype about
small companies like WhatsApp and Instagram getting billion dollar
valuations just add fuel to the fire.
“The truth is that growing a successful business needs strong strategic and
execution capabilities, which many inexperienced entrepreneurs lack.”
The truth is that growing a successful business needs strong strategic and
execution capabilities, which many inexperienced entrepreneurs lack. So
what capabilities does a “smart entrepreneur” need to build a great
company?
How to build and manage a team: Nobody can build a company by
themselves. You have to know what skills are needed to grow the company,
how to attract talented people with those skills, communicate your vision to
them and give them space to execute on it. You need to inspire your team
while maintaining their respect.
How to understand customer needs: Many entrepreneurs build the solution
first and then look for customers to buy it. It is important that you spend
time with a large number of your target customers face to face to
understand what exactly their problems are and if your solution is the right
one for them. It’s better to do this before you spend time or money on
creating your solution. Don’t get fooled by stories of Silicon Valley
companies that create new tech product categories. Most of these game
changers require very deep pockets and have a very high failure rate.
How to manage finances: Running out of money to pay salaries is the
number one reason for business closure. You need to learn the techniques
of running a lean start-up while you build revenue and raise external funds.
Have a strong understanding of your company’s cash flow and profitability.
How to manage the unexpected: There are many factors outside your control
like the state of the economy, customer sentiments, entry of well-funded
competition, resignation of a key employee, etc. Although you cannot
anticipate everything, it is good to do a SWOT analysis to lay out the most
common risks and threats to your company and plan ahead on what you will
do if they occur.
“Smart entrepreneurs realize that very few people have all these capabilities
within themselves. That is where they look for other successful
entrepreneurs who can help them build these through a strong mentoring
relationship.”
Smart entrepreneurs realize that very few people have all these capabilities
within themselves. That is where they look for other successful
entrepreneurs who can help them build these through a strong mentoring
relationship.
It is not too difficult to find a mentor. Many networks like National
Entrepreneurship Network, The Indus Entrepreneurs and Indian Angel
Network have experienced mentors who are happy to support upcoming
young entrepreneurs to help them grow. You may also find a successful
entrepreneur among your relatives or friends circle that would love to take
you under his or her wing. You can even check online networks
like LinkedIn to identify people who could serve as your mentor.
Once you’ve found someone who you’d like to have as your mentor, the
ideal thing to do is to ask for 30 minutes of his or her time to get their
advice. In my experience, most people never refuse such a request as it
also gives them a chance to learn what new developments are happening in
the entrepreneur’s space. If the first meeting works well and there is enough
value generated for both sides, you can always ask for a follow up meeting
the next month. Voila! You now have a mentor.
To be a smart entrepreneur, you need to know what key capabilities you
possess and what capabilities you can build with your mentor’s support. All
you need to do is ask.
Essence of Leadership
The Indispensable Quality of Leadership ----VISION
Robert K Greenleaf in his book ‘The Servant as leader’ says, “Foresight is
the ‘lead’ that the leader has. Once he loose this lead and events start to
force his hand, he is leader in name only. He is not leading; he is reacting
to immediate events and he probably will not long be a leader. There are
abundant current example of loss of leadership which stem from failure to
forsee what reasonably could have been for-seen, from failure to act on that
knowledge while the leader has freedom to act.”
It is observed that all effective leaders have a vision to what they must
accomplish. That vision becomes the energy behind every effort and force
that pushes through all the problems. With vision, the leader is on a mission
and a contagious spirit is felt among the crowd until others begin to rise
alongside the leader. Unity is essential for the dream to be realized. Long
hours of labor are given gladly to accomplish the goal. Individual rights are
set aside because the whole is much more important than the part. Time
flies, morale soars upwards, heroic stories are told, and commitment is the
watchword. Why? Because the leader has a vision.
All that is required to remove the excitement from the above para is one
word –vision. Helen Keller was once asked , “What would be worse than
being born blind?” She replied, “To have sight without vision.” Sadly, too
many people are placed into leadership position without a vision for the
organization that they will lead. All great leaders posses two things: They
know where they are going ,and they are able to persuade others to follow.
They are like the sign in an optometrist’s office: “if you don’t see what you
want ; you’ve come to the right place.”

Vision of Entrepreneurship Immersion Program Enterprise

the population and are the future of the Nation. India is one of the youngest
nations in the world. About 65% of India’s population is under 35 years of
age. The focus of the Government is on youth-led development. The Youth

development. Entrepreneurship Immersion Program Enterprise work with the
VISION “To empower youth of the country to achieve their full potential, and
through them enable India to find its rightful place in the community of
nations. The Department of Youth Affairs has been implementing various
programs with the objective of developing the personality and leadership
qualities of the youth and inculcating qualities of good citizenship and
volunteerism among the youth. The text of the National Youth Policy.
Job Creation:- The aim of this Group is to suggest policy reforms and
ground level changes that will create more jobs in the country. Our economy
faces a grim challenge due to wide spread unemployment. There is an
urgent need for rapid job creation in multiple sectors across the country.

Government departments. From time to time, Ministries will need creative
inputs on the creativity related aspects of their initiatives. The tasks may
vary from proposing a design for a mobile application to providing a draft
banner/logo as well to suggesting a creative punch line for an initiative. The
scope is extensive, the work intensive and the end result extremely
satisfying.
Empowerment of Farmers:- Farmer empowerment means providing with
the ability and capacity to use local and international skills and knowledge to
ensure a fair social and economical situation while preserving and
conserving the environment. In this process, the farmer is becoming a supply
chain actor, a crop specialist with clear market orientation. The farmers are
informed and taught all the best practices to create sustainable production,
and to increase the quality of their livelihood. This enables the production of
a better crop of a higher and more consistent quality and quantity, which is
better suited to satisfy the needs of the buyers while asking for a fair price
without damaging the environment.

incubators and accelerators established to support young entrepreneurs. A
