Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
I finished the book "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish" by author Rashmi Bansal. This coincided with the visit of Rashmi bansal's visit to NITIE. The book focuses on the life of 25 entrepreneurs from IIM A. The profile varies from dot com business to social entrepreneurship. The books inspires entrepreneurship and provides value inputs and cautions regarding entrepreneurship. Certain tips for entrepreneurs that I got from the book are:
1. Be risk taking.
2. Join the small firm with the large responsibility rather than joining large firm with limited scope for your creativity.
3. Try not to start in the immature way (just after passing out), work for some firm , get experience of 3-4 years, financial acumen and financial stability.
4. Choose right partner, it's a rule that out of 3-4 partners starting , one or two will left.
5. Don't start with many partners.
6. Never include any one in your business for money only, add only when they provide value addition.
7. Hiccups are the part of venture, if everything is going smooth then something is definitely wrong .
8. Hold for at least 3 year, in a venture 4rth year is the actual riding year for enterprise.
9. One should have vision to scale up the company.
10. Be cheerful with the co-workers and provide E-sops to employees.
11. Most importantly, believe in yourself.

NITIE Journey Starts
I am very happy today. After the silence of 2 years, I woke up and start exploring myself. I have decided to make my room a place where people can discuss "business issues", innovate, etc. etc. when I entered into my room first time, I said "What the .." . Such a filthy that place was or I was never use to live in such rooms. Slightly I started liking it but today I am in love with this room. It has perfect ambiance to facilitate anything and everything. Size of the room is 15ft * 15ft (in mumbai). It has a balcony of 15*4. The view from balcony is hotel Ramada, a five star hotel, on side, garden and pond view on other. To make the ambiance perfect, I bought Creative A200 speakers, today and I had my first party there with 3 batch mates.
Future plans include UV bulb, beanbag and many more things.
I will update this blog as soon as any upgrade happens.
