my journey failures lucky # iit jee # unicorp, niit, ravel, oracle, siebel systems, # mba talisma, allied worldwide, microsoft # one start up # one start up, one in progress # settled # lived: ranchi, delhi, san francisco, # financials bengaluru, london # 40 states in the usa, 15+ countries, drive in 20 mega cities # a national report (creation of ministry of it) # business manager to ceo and co-founder of niit # 5 mentors # klout score of 80 # indian
how would i start all over again? ..getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have happened. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. steve jobs looking back at hugely public firing in 1985
2 quotes if this day was the end of my life, how would i live each day? do i have many days when i feel i havent done justice to what i wanted to do and achieve? if you have 20 crores of rupees in your bank, what would you do?
so what changed 4Ps, when not meaningless, they are useless. read them for a historical perspective hyperlinks subvert hierarchy atomselectronsneurons (manufacturinginformationattention) push marketing doesnt work and is expensive (roi?) information deluge, real time, measurable and trackable honesty and the need for an authentic and a remarkable story digital natives vs. digital immigrants wom or word of mouth (or earned media) still is the most credible source of leads for business
so what changed internet users cross tv households (IMRB/IAMAI/internal GOOGLE) 100m 90m 80m Net users 70m C&S TV hh 60m 50m 40m 2007 2008 2009 2010 2 hrs 15 mins a day rivals or exceeds TV consumption
so what changed there are over 84m desktop internet users and over 50m mobile internet users in india as of this moment to put this is perspective there are only 103m cable & satellite tv sets in india. and a total of 134m tv sets and all of this is larger than the national circulation of print every single day, facebook in india gets you greater reach of sec a/b than an ipl match
so what changed keep your head down be remarkable follow instructions be generous show up on time create art work hard make judgment calls suck it up connect people and ideas
so what changed abc: attendance based compensation; poorly paid, low in respect, high in turnover whats your passion quotient? not my job is a career limiting attitude we hire for attitude..
so what changed the linchpin leverage
starting up the difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem. gandhi to believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest. gandhi
starting up listen: do you have listening posts? what are they saying? If not, create them learn: pick up trends, like what you see. else move on. research leverage: so you think you can make a difference? build and test with your ecosystem-network and mentors. ready? lead: go launch yourself. if need be, take pitch baby steps. get early success in first.
why should i care about you brand you: soft power trumps hard power soft power assets: your image, reputation, network, communication skills, alliances, speaking, visibility, intellectual property (articles), etc. hard power assets: tangible things you can list on your resume such as education credentials, years of experience, job titles, training programs etc.
cheat sheet 1/2 network when not needed (remember sant kabir?): learn linkedin as if its an art form, twitter anyone? written word stays (be careful), no flaming please start a trust of favors: a favor a day/act of generosity with 0 expectations when in academia, connect with industry through research and survey outreach switch off automation: personal messages, custom status updates, send a personalized invite on linkedin get the act together: business card, business suit, business language even if you are a student
cheat sheet 2/2 no experience will go waste, dots will connect dont worry build a network of diverse mentors, say 3 or 4 internship is a job, not a training; please start your job search now on whose back is the monkey? its your home work relatively free time assets: innocent coffees, breakfast meetings, and airport drop/pick up car conversations one book a week will help you tell better stories
minimum 2 out of 3 have to be a yes you deliver on time your work is good often exceptional working with you is such a pleasure
2 humble requests: one life saving, one nation saving side view mirrors and side indicators, you actually paid for them. why not use them next time you drive? theres national change around you. why not pick at least one cause close to your heart? please.
