India Needs More Entrepreneurs

Rajesh Jain writes another wonderful series of articles: India Need More Entrepreneurs in his Tech Talk.

For me, success and failure, profit and loss are two sides of the same coin. More important is the opportunity to influence the creation of tomorrow’s world. This is where I am trying to have my cake and eat it too – build my existing company with the help of a strong management team, and also invest in external companies to build out elements of the ecosystem. I think of this as entrepreneurship blended with hands-on, thesis-based investing.

It is during this journey that I have come to the conclusion that India needs many more entrepreneurs. The ones considering the path to entrepreneurship need to exorcise the fear of failure and focus on the journey. I was, for many years, a struggling (and failing) entrepreneur. But the passion and optimism never died. And today, it is perhaps stronger than ever before. We live only once. Entrepreneurship is perhaps the most exhilarating rides one can embark on. So, why not?
