A Life of Pi

Set The GoalMovie review• In the film, Pi's father

Santosh Patel told this to Pi at the dining table, when he was getting inquisitive about different religions and wanted to follow all of them at the same time.

Corporate lesson• Its difficult to follow

different paths.• Its conflicting.• It’s a wastage of resources.• As an entrepreneur, it's also

important to choose your mentors, guides wisely.

• Set your own goal and stay focused towards it.

Build your own image

Movie review• Pi Patel was born with the

name Piscina Molitor Patel, given by his uncle after a swimming pool in france.

• That caused him lots of anguish. And he knew that it will cause him more trouble.

• So, he decided to remember the value of Pi expressed in several hundred decimal places to drive home the point.

Corporate lesson• Associating a story with the

name made it work even better for him. So, if you have to work on creating a new brand name of changing your existing brand name for that matter, work on telling a good story which captures the imagination of the audience.

Plan for everything

Movie review• When Pi was thrown into

the sea on the lifeboat with limited stock of resources after his ship capsized, he had to make a plan to survive the uncertain and indeterminate period in the harsh seas

• Fortunately, he found a handbook to help him plan for the time on the lifeboat.

Corporate lesson• If you're an entrepreneur,

think of the handbook as your business plan.

• In life also, continuous planning for different stages of your life, and not only during the difficult days, when resources are low, will help you live a good life.

Use your resources bestMovie review• When Pi found Richard Parker

on the life boat, he got scared and threw all the supplies in the lifeboat to a makeshift raft and tied it to the life boat and decided to shift to the raft.

• When the breaching whale appeared at night and upturned Pi's raft throwing all his supplies to the water, Pi realized, living with Richard Parker on the boat may be a better option

Corporate lesson• if you have limited resources and

there are multiple products, fighting for the same resource, it's better to spread your resources across groups to reduce dependency on one product to succeed

• For career improvements, consider skill enhancement and be aware of the job market realities and don't just tie yourself to your current company, to stay relevant in the long run.

Competition is not always bad

Movie review• After the whale incident, Pi had

to reconcile to the fact that he has to live with Richard Parker on the lifeboat.

• Having Richard Parker on board also kept him alert at all times.

• Richard Parker is both a co-founder and a competitor for Pi in his entrepreneurial journey. An entrepreneur needs to co-exist with both.

Corporate lesson• With co-founders, it's

important to communicate clearly, define roles and responsibilities and ensure that you don't encroach upon each other's spaces.

• An entrepreneur needs to learn to co-exist with competition in the market.

• It should be healthy.

Pi got new island Movie review• When Pi reached the

mysterious floating island of carnivorous algae inhabited by meekest, it seemed like, he has reached an oasis of life with bountiful food, water and shelter.

Corporate lesson • It's important to keep an

eye on the final destination.

• Keep moving • Don’t be greedy

Pi didn't give up hope and he kept moving

Corporate lesson • it's important to remember,

that the darkest days are not going to last. It's important, not to give up on your dreams and give up on life.

• everything else in life is only temporary and this too shall pass.

Conclusion• Life Of Pi is a story of perseverance and a

story of not giving up, even in the harshest of conditions.

• For an entrepreneur It's important, not to give up on your dreams and give up on life.

• Don’t forget that there is always a ray of hope.• Don’t lose hope, work hard’ fight with the

situation.• Have faith in god.
