    herStart – The Making Of Womenpreneur Unicorns

    Women are natural entrepreneurs – powerhouse of talent, leadership and collaborative approach who can get things done! Their unique ideas and caring perspective can unleash a new era of sustainable success – and not to forget – the next big Indian unicorns!

    Happy to be part of the launch of ‘herStart’’s digital startup platform for women entrepreneurs by Gujarat University’s GujSec and UNICEF India. It was befitting that Honorable President of India Shrimati Draupadi Murmu inaugurated the platform during Navratri – the festival that celebrates the women power! Honorable Governor of Gujarat Shri Acharya Devrat and Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupen Patel were also present with other dignitaries.

  • Book Review : Connect The Dots

    Rashmi Bansal’s new book – ‘Connect The Dots‘ is a follow-up to her hugely successful book ‘Stay Hungry Stay Foolish’. The earlier book mentioned the inspiring stories of IIMA graduates. Connect The Dots is about successful entrepreneurs without the typical MBA degree.

    The book has classified entrepreneurs in three categories:
    1. Jugaad – Ones who have no formal business training and learnt by observation, experimentation and application of mind.
    2. Junoon – Ones who are driven by passion and ideas which are ahead of its time.
    3. Zubaan – Ones who are creative people with unique talent

    The book has a biographical account of the entrepreneur and advice to other entrepreneurs – same style as Stay Hungry Stay Foolish. The selection of the entrepreneurs is interesting indeed which adds diversity to the book and the subject of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs behind success stories like Reva, Dosa Plaza, Su-Kam, Crossword, Tantra T-Shrits, Veta, Fem Care are featured as well as Film Director Paresh Mokashi and Wildlife Photographer Kalyan Verma. Though there are no formulas to success, it is interesting to know the journey of the fellow entrepreneurs.

    Rashmi Bansal’s style and language is amazing as always ! She has got another bestseller !
