Starting a company: registering it, legal stuff, taxes, lawyers, marketing, sales, recruiting, managing, production... my personal experience as a young entrepreneur in Mumbai; born and grown up in Mexico, living in India since 2001. Perhaps, not an expert entrepreneur, but I've been in the business for some time and learnt many things, some of which are given in this blog.
I received the link to this video through a group of Mexican Entrepreneurs in LinkedIn. It is an interview with Mrs. Silvia de Torres Carbonel, the Director of the Entrepreneurship Centre at I.A.E. the leading business school in Argentina. It is in Spanish, but offer below a few notes in English in a point format.
The Entrepreneurship process is a process started at an individual level, i.e. in the person.
It is an attitude, not a characteristic of the person.
It takes you to be alert for opportunities, enthused about them.
The enterprise is born in the heart, mind... and hands of the entrepreneur. Which need to be able!
The entrepreneur is a person that generates employment.
Entrepreneurship is the key for generating employment, especially in developing economies like ours (referring to Argentina, but also applies to India and Mexico, of course)
A successful entrepreneur is:
A person that is open.
A person extremely flexible in the execution: we don't always have all the resources, we must get them.
Knows how to leadership the starting organization.
Enter an innovative market like Mumbai, many entrepreneurs so focused on the technical aspects they forget to highlight the product benefits.... Nice video btw, recommend a documentary about entrepreneurship- A film named ''The YES Movie'' documented tody entrepreneurship in US(www.TheYESmovie.comby Louis Lautman
"many entrepreneurs so focused on the technical aspects they forget to highlight the product benefits"
It is curious, just yesterday I was discussing something similar with another Entrepreneur here in Mumbai dealing with Imports-exports of handicrafts... There is so much paperwork that at times we forget to take advantage of the many pros that we have here... good and inexpensive labour, a very large middle class market, etc. Thank you for pointing out here as well!
Soy mexicano y he estado viviendo en la India desde el año 2001. Primero en Mumbai, luego en Delhi (desde el 2011) y ahora de regreso a Mumbai. Durante este tiempo, después de mi estudios universitarios (que terminé en el 2006) he pasado por muchas experiencias de diferentes tipos de negocios en la India.
