According to him being open to change helped in his endeavors. He is also happy about the fact that he had the experience as a professional to fall back on whenever needed. “Innovators and entrepreneurs need to constantly think on their feet and keep in touch with the changing market environment. They also need to change effectively when the time arises. These traits that I had imbibed during my days as a professional helped me in my entrepreneurial goals,” he stated before going on to reveal what he thinks is integral to one’s entrepreneurial dreams.
Mr. Nair believes that before taking the plunge, one should sit down and consider what’s really important for their business. “At the back of every business model there should be the idea that you are creating value for consumers. Perspective matters and putting yourself in other person’s shoes can solve most of the problems faced by entrepreneurs and marketers. You can identify how a business prospect might fare in the next five years and that can give you an idea of the outcome,” he added practically and drove his point home.
Finally he warned the students of the risks and advised them to not make mistakes that could lead to repercussions that would be insurmountable. The highly engaging sessions ended with Mr. Nair fielding questions from the audience. He then expressed his final thoughts on change when he said, “Change is the current trend; but change responsibly and not just for the sake of change. Co-dependence, co-operation is more valuable than just competition. Fresh management graduates should be willing to work from the ground up without showing any negative attitude.” Now that’s advice that all management aspirants could do well following as they set out on their career paths.
