AN ENTREPRENEURIAL CAREER

The entrepreneurial career is not a one day job nor it is bed of

roses. Prosperity and success never come easily. It takes time and needshard work. Systematic planning and business acumen to be successful

entrepreneur.

Therefore, before choosing this path one should be very careful

in knowing about his own self. This introspection process helps him in

knowing about himself. Every person has his own potentiality and

resource. How he looks in to this aspect. If the person cans understand or

identify his inner traits then it help him choosing the right path for which

he should look into his beliefs, faith values etc.

For an entrepreneur it is of great importance to know about

himself on the basis of above mentioned individual consideration. These

consideration give him ample scope to face his own self by asking the

question Who I am? If he can given meaning answer to this complex

question with exemplary courage and utter personal disregard to being

exposed, then it helps him in getting a fair idea about himself. On the

whole it helps him to making the right decision in choosing the right path

for getting involved for deciding the future course of action. This is

nothing but a self-identification process. After having being proper

identified his strength, weakness and ability, he can make a decision of

his choice, whether he will take up entrepreneurship as a career or not. If

yes, then in which entrepreneurial area.

What it takes to be an Entrepreneur ?

To answer the question, "what does it take to be an entrepreneur?" we

first need to ask the question- why focus on entrepreneurs, what do they

do differently?

In a resource constrained society, entrepreneurs are extraordinarily

evolved

They start with aspirations that lie outside the resource base.

And, it's true that in a resource constrained society, entrepreneurs find,

multiply and leverage resources and create wealth.

They change the game and fight and unseat incumbents.

They find the world different- to shape the future you must first imagine

the

future.

Good entrepreneurs do not benchmark against the best practices; they

create the next practices

Fundamentally entrepreneurship is about discovery of wealth. It's not

taking what is available, but creating and discovering wealth.

It's about courage, passion, humility and humanity.

It creates a social legitimacy to wealth creation and the role of business

The role and responsibility of entrepreneurs is changing as India changes.

This is an important issue to think about, because the nature of

entrepreneurship is different in India- it is more complex, complicated

and

more granular than the West.

In India there are a lot of family-inspired businesses-almost 45% of the

top

500 businesses in this country belong to these categories-that is a

6


7/30

significant portion of India's wealth creating opportunity.

The kind of entrepreneurship India has- in pockets of excellence, honest,

meritocracy-oriented- is exactly the kind of entrepreneurship that will

make

wealth creation a socially legitimate activity.

We have to create awareness and advocacy for honest people who want

to make a difference, who want to express themselves and for whom

business and institution building is not necessarily for personal glory

WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

Economic, social, religious, cultural and other factors existing

in the society to a great degree are responsible for the emergence of

the entrepreneurs. Following the World War 2 there is an extraordinary

boost in the number of self employed women in the highly developed

countries of the world.

Numerous numbers of women nowadays are not only climbing

up the corporate ladder but are designing and creating the ladder itself.

The story given in the Newsweek magazine states that, women-owned

businesses today are growing at twice the rate of men's. The

entrepreneurial spirit noticeably has a womanly side to it.

Women entrepreneurs in India symbolise a set of women who

have broken away from the beaten path and are discovering new

views. They had to face many challenges, family oppositions,

pessimistic remarks from their fellow workers in the process of

establishing themselves as independent entrepreneurs. Wanting to dosomething positive in their lives urged and compelled them to be an

entrepreneur.

Today we will be introducing you ,some of entrepreneurs who

are womens , their work , their qualities make them different.

USA in the town ofNew Haven with husband and son and a daughter.

Support from significant other -

Ela Bhatt Says : Im a product of the later years of the freedom movement,

the independence movement of my country. As we were studying in school

and then in college our teachers and everybody around was talking about

independence. In the family, also, there was the atmosphere of the

independence struggle. My own grandfather, my mothers father, was in the

Salt March. He was in jail. My mothers two brothers were in jail. (Editor:

begun March 12, 1930, the Salt March led by Mohandas (Mahatma) K. Gandhi

was a 24-day march from his ashram in Ahmedabad to the Arabian Sea to

make salt and protest the British ban of an Indians right to make salt.

center. He talks about human values. It may be your personal life or public

life, political life, economical, the life of the nation, of the society, or at a

global level but for him certain values, human values, were central. And

they were non-negotiable. His values are truth, peace, nonviolence.Also, in

this change he put women as the leaders. He said that women are natural

leaders in our fight for social justice where love and peace, nonviolence, are

the chief weapons of the fight.

When I was studying in college, our teachers asked us to go the villages and

live with the villagers. Mainly against injustice, against poverty. We never

had to question how to do it because Gandhiji had shown the way -- how to

go about it and what kind of discipline you have to follow. There I met myhusband (Ramesh Bhat) who was a student leader. I got married and I came

to the same kind of family.

That is what raised the consciousness for me. I am a product of those days.

Opportunity Obsession -

Next, as soon as she finished law (studies) she joined the Textile Laborers

Association,which was started by Gandhiji in 1917. she was working for

textile workers.

It was a union of the textile workers -- that is formal-sector labor. But, slowly,

very gradually, there was a consciousness growing within me that there are

so many other kinds of economic activities being done outside the formal

sector, where there is no specific employer/employee relationship. What

about them? She became more and more confirmed that if we talk of a labormovement worth its name in my country then it should include these workers

who are outside the formal sector. She started calling them self-employed

but economists and others call them the informal sector.

Motivation to womens movement-

Poverty will never be removed without the participation of women

(16 July 2009)

She realized was that when we talk of women and the womens movement --

who are the women of India? They are rural, poor, illiterateor semi-literate,

and economically very active. The (self-employed women workers) are 80%

of the women of the country. It is these women who should be playing a

leading role in the womens movement.

Self Reliance and Ability to Adapt -

Ela Bhatt is the founder of the Self Employed Womens Association

(SEWA) and was SEWAs first general-secretary. Based in Ahmedabad,

Gujarat, India, SEWA is the largest single trade union in the country with a

membership of 687,000 women. SEWAs members are vegetable and

garment vendors, in-home seamstresses, head-loaders, bidi rollers, paper

pickers, construction workers, incense stick makers, and agricultural workers.

They come from India's "unorganized sector" and organize for their just dues

and rights. 96% of all women workers in India are in this sector. Among their

achievements is the SEWA Bank whose capital is made up entirely of their

own contributions. The SEWA Bank was founded in 1974 by 4,000 women

each contributing ten rupees. This interview was conducted August 31, 2003

by Nic Paget-Clarke for In Motion Magazine in Ahmedabad. Also see interview

withJayshree Vyas - Managing Director of SEWA Bank.

And the demand is changing so fast. Lets say SEWA Bank gives a loan for

machines. Earlier, the old sewing machine was OK. Their sewing machine

was 15 years old, but it worked. With the new kinds of products they need

another machine. It is called full circle. Earlier it was half circle, half wheel.

Now they need a full wheel. Then, they have to put on the electric motor to

increase their productivity but also for certain designs. And they have to

borrow again for the add-ons. By the time she is trained, or she is ready for

(the new add-ons) manufacturing changes and another kind of add-on is

needed.

Initiative & Creative : Literacy education

Ela Bhatt Says: Education, if you mean by it literacy, then literacy has come

at a later stage, only since five years back, because whenever we had

consulted our members it was not on there priority list.

To be able to understand financial management, savings, credit, money

management, union laws, their own power to vote, all that was being done

but literacy was missing. I, like any other middle-class woman, I was very

keen from the beginning that, Let there be education. Let them be literate

and the exploitation will be over. But it didnt happen until the last fiveyears.

We started with two districts, and now it is four districts. Now all the districts

are demanding literacy education so we are planning, in a big way, a

literacy program

Lateral Thinking

There are risks in every action. Every success has the seed of some failure.But it doesn't matter. It is how you go about it. That is the real challenge.

Determination-

4. She has been chosen for the Niwano Peace Prize for 2010 for her

Creative Problem Solving Technique -

The Elders

On 18 July 2007 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Nelson Mandela, Graa

Machel, and Desmond Tutu convened a group of world leaders to

contribute their wisdom, independent leadership and integrity to tackle

some of the world's toughest problems. Nelson Mandela announced the

formation of this new group, The Elders, in a speech he delivered on the

occasion of his 89th birthday.

Archbishop Tutu will serve as the Chair of The Elders. The founding

members of this group also include Graa Machel, Kofi Annan, Ela Bhatt,

the scenes on whatever actions need to be taken, Mandela commented.

2005. She has also been awarded the Business Women of the Year-2003 by

the Financial Express in the category of the Best Knowledge Manager.

Qualities which made her entrepreneur :

1. Commitment and determination :

In mid 1980s when Zia started its own practice in India, Clients had

hard time in believing that she would be as good as male finance

advisor. So she set out to prove she is better. It was her determination

towards her goals and her commitment toward her profession who

made her so much successful that her firm, now known as AZB &

Partners, is an international powerhouse that is at the table for most

of the multimillion-dollar deals in the country and 80% of her client

are the MNC

2. Opportunity Obsession :

Rather than be relegated to a junior position in a traditional Indian law

firm, Mody, who had spent the previous four years in a New York City

firm, opened her own firm in Bombay in 1984. She said the schedule

was backbreaking (16-hour days, six and a half days a week)

3. Technical expertise :

In November, Japans NTT DoCoMo, a leading mobile communications

company, announced a deal to acquire a 26% stake in Tata Teleservices

(TTSL) for US$2.7 billion. The deal, which values Indias sixth largest

21


22/30

mobile phone operator at US$10.38 billion, is subject to Indian regulatory

approvals. It will give the Japanese mobile operator a strong foothold in

the worlds fasted growing mobile market.

Upendra Joshi, a partner at Khaitan & Co who advised DoCoMo, says:

DoCoMo clearly views its proposed investment in TTSL as a long-term

partnership. Although the start-to-finish time extended for about five

months given that the transaction was initiated through a bidding

process, each individual aspect of the transaction hadan extremely

challenging timeframe. Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom is

international counsel to NTT DoCoMo while AZB & Partners (Zia Mody) is

representing Tata Teleservices.

4.Motivating :

Zia says We are able to assess, identify and protect our client's

interests. We have the expertise and bandwidth to advice on overseas

issues. We started about 20 years ago, and over that period we have

grown bigger and have instilled confidence in our clients about our

abilities.

OPPORTUNITY OBSESSION

She had many hurdles to overcome as a woman. Banks were unwilling

to lend to her loans for two reasons:

1. Gender

2. Biotechnology as a new and poorly understood business.

People were reluctant to work for a woman and age went against her

as people felt she was too young to lead a company. Regardless ofthis, she persevered and whilst she did encounter the glass ceiling in

the first 5 years of business, it disappeared once she succeeded to

realize growth in my business. This was due to she knew that this was

an opportunity to take up .

TOLERANCE OF RISK:

Her application for loans were turned down by banks then - on three

counts - biotechnology was then a new word, the company lacked

assets, and (most importantly) women entrepreneurs were still a rarity.

Today, her company is the bigget biopharmaceutical firm in the

country. High risk was associated but she took the risk.

SELF RELIANCE AND ABILITY TO ADAPT

belong to a business family or have political influence or immense wealth.

Kiran believed that women in India were not meant for only certain kind ofjobs like teacher, nurse or personal secretary, or for running a small or

cottage industry at the most. She considered herself a representative of

the modern women who could work shoulder-to-shoulder alongside men

and build mega businesses. Expressing a deep desire for equality, she

said in her award acceptance speech, "I do hope that in the not-too-

distant future, there will be one award for men and women alike - the

Businessperson of the Year Award." The Entrepreneur

CATERING TO ALL NEEDS

- Team members

THE STORY OF A MIDDLE CLASS WOMAN.

How she became an entrepreneur

Anita and Anuj had been married for over 15 years. They had three

beautiful daughters, business was good, and they had little to complain

about in life. Anita was happy to be a home maker and spent her time

taking care of her family.

Life did an about-turn one fine day, when Anita discovered to her

horror, that Anuj had run up huge debts, business was running at aloss, creditors were queuing up outside the house and even their own

house had been mortgaged!

She was in a dilemma. The easiest way out was to rave and rant and

achieve nothing. She could run away from the situation, but go where?

Food had to be put on the table, bills had to be paid at the end of the

month, education for her three girls had to continue. She could borrow

money but how would she return it? What should she do?

It was then that she took a bold step forward. She approached a

well-to-do cousin and told him being a good cook herself, she would like

to get into catering, but she needed financial assistance to start. He

agreed, and bought her a fridge, freezer, cooking utensils and crockery.

Her parents loaned her some money to tide her over the teething

problems, and she hired one cook and got started.

She first told friends and relatives, put up posters in schools, stores

and offices. She really couldn't afford to advertise. She slogged

whipping up delicious cakes, desserts, kebabs, butter chicken and

roghan josh on orders. Orders trickled in, but she could barely cover

costs.

Then came a dinner order from a friend, who was having a party for

50. Anita knew she could make it or break it! She hired waiters forserving, cooked everything to perfection with help from 3 hired cooks,

hired serving dishes and somehow saw the order through! There was

no looking back!

Today, Anuj supervises the outdoor catering for parties, the girls

help in the cooking / marketing / deliveries, she employs four cooks on

a regular basis and earns enough to not only run her home, but also

clear Anuj's debts little by little.

Anita had the spirit and the drive. She chose to work out of

home since she knew nothing better and had never worked before.

Meticulous planning, frugal living and hard work have all paid

dividends, as everyone in Delhi knows of "Saffron Caterers
