I am a fun-loving, abitious, self-motivated and happy-go-luck person aspiring to change the way we live. Changing the way we live? Yes, you have read it correctly; but I do not have a concreate answer to the question myself, but am determined to do something. I have been trying hard to create a platform which can
help enhance the quality of
human life and not limiting myself to that, with my experience and
exposure am trying to contribute to
promoting Enterpreneurship, which in one way or other can support my
ideology to enhance quality of life. More about my profession, location
and
hobbies in About page. Without Ambition, No Conquests Are Made, No Lands Discovered, No Business CreatedMy interests are Software Engineering, Project Management and Entrepreneurship. I get involved and try to do many things at a time, but would ensure I give my best not to mess with any of my activities. Turning Point Each of us, someday, will have a 'turning point' in our lives. I also had these times and till date, I can say I had few events in my life which had profound influence on me and what I do. Since the beginning of my college days, I was very clear that I wanted to do something different. When, How, Where, Why and What are the questions which I never answered to myself. For 2 years, I tried to stand, but fell a lot of times. Looking at how things were going, I decided that I need to gain experience to be on my own. I come from a family of teachers and not businesspersons. Life's turning point In 1995, for the first time in my life, I had an opportunity to meet a spiritual Guru. This is my first turning point. This had a profound impact on my life and I really do not have words to pen those experiences. But to put it in one sentance, only my Guru's blessings is taking me where I need to go Thinking of Entrepreneurship One of my earliest readings is "Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid" by Prof. Coimbatore Krishnarao Prahalad (aka as CKP) and this changed the way I look around. In this book, Prof.CKP illustrated that 80% of people in today's world are either at middle or bottom of the economical pyramid and how this population can dramatically change the Vision of any Business. Examples illustrated are from various parts of the world with few succesful stories from India too. My next reading was a thesis on BoP model by Aneel G Karnanai - Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: A Mirage. This gives a very contrasting view of all case studies in Prof. CKP's book. My inspiration has been the concept and ideology of "Bottom of Pyramid". I am working on building by NGO around this model. An NGO? and around the BoP model? Yes, very much. You will find out more about the model and the organization in the Entrepreneurship page where I write about the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem which we are trying to build in Bangalore and how my NGO plays a role in that :)
