entrepreneurship

Monday, March 7th, 2005

I’ve joined the ‘to be entrepreneurs’ group. Older members being Tarun, Abhinav and Sachin. Abhinav saying not to join Adobe or IBM and entering entrepreneurship. Tarun interested to drop his MS for the same.
Well me ? I dont even fulfil the BTech requirements as of now. Short of HSSM courses. But I’m even ready to drop my BTech for the same. Why do i need a degree if i’m looking for entrepreneurship. Ofcourse family wont agree to that at any cost. So I dont know what will happen to me. Maybe will take one more sem to complete BTech or continue MS for 2 years.
But I’m really happy for we are actually doing it now. We are going to meet PJN and Jawahar sir asap, to discuss about the same. The idea is of incubation, and a vision company.
I still have to talk to her now, and home. I dont know their reaction. But i know this is what i want to do.

I had plans of entrepreneurship from long time, even before joining iiit, but my approach was idea based. I mean first get an idea ‘that will change the world’ , ‘hottest technology of future’ and then deploy that. I still prefer that, but the thrill of entrepreneurship brought me in. And one cannot think about it, all he can do is be alert. Maybe its late to wait for an idea now. And being entrepreneur we will be more alert for the idea to occur. And being the best vision group of india, it gives me confidence of success. One more important factor being my unwillingness to join a job.

Our vision (in the words of Abhinav) is to ‘reduce the gap between research and the use’.

I did not want to join the venture, for i wanted to live a life of ideal husband. Comes to home at time, and give my all time to her. My dream was of a ’sweet home’ than of a ‘million dollar company’. And she needs my time more than a millioniare. I dont know how much possible it is, but i will give her enough time.

I will marry no sooner than 5 years (according to her plans), and by then i expect everything to be stable.
