Entrepreneurship lessons from Sanjeev Bhikhchandani


I see a note in today’s media "Info edge listed at Stock exchange". Info edge aka naukri.com is a company founded by IIMA alumni Sanjeev B. I thought it may be a good time to recollect his knowledge sharing on entrepreneurship with us. The market os cheering his success and some would envy him to be in a billion Rs. club, but not everyone knows the story behind the success.

About 3 months ago when we had a case from Naukri.com I had requested prof. Sahay to ask if we could invite Sanjeev to our class. And to my/our luck he did come on short notice. Since he was coming, I requested him if he could also share lessons of his way of looking entrepreneurship.

Some of the key takeaway were

  1. keep trying, success never comes easy and it’s never ever quick
  2. use your experience to your advantage
  3. Perseverance pays
  4. Nothing wrong in being opportunist at times
  5. Do the math … V IMP…
  6. you can not sail in two boats …
