Owkay...we ve got the starting blues outta the way...and frankly..am a little overwhelmed
...While on entrepreneurship, i think , of late there is increasingly a breed within a breed, Social Entrepreneurs, Agri-Business Entrepreneurship, New Enterprise Creation, and Family Business management( the last one is a little debatable though).
Rite..Subbu...We sure can do somethin on the lines of starting an e group , so to speak, about wannabe entrepreneurs. But i d most certainly like to give the present thread a sense of direction . (an important entreprenurial trait
)
To speak about my experience, well, I ve always known myself as a person who has led two lives. One made up of my dreams, and the other of my efforts in pursuing them. It is in the quest of my dream to serve my country at the highest level, and leveraging the skills that I acquire in becoming a wealth creator .
Subjects like Game Theory, Macro Economics, Finance, have always set my adrenalin flowin..so in a lot of ways , one thing led to another, and to put it in as many words, entreprenurship gave me the chance to give shape to my dreams, to do things that i beleive in...i.
An internship at News Hawk Online Pvt. Ltd, a subsidiary of Real-Time traders, a Wall-Street based news agency, helped me focus on the finer aspects of the stock and the derivatives market, especially NYSE and NASDAQ. Having developed an understanding of the markets, I floated my a self start up in the form of “Gold & Futures”- a franchisee of the multi Commodity exchange of India, concentrating on bullion and agricultural commodities.
The Commodities market, as you mite be aware, is the next best thing doin the rounds...so growth has and wil continue to be exponential. Jus recently HDFC acquired an equity stake in MCX.
Yes, it took a lot of doing to raise the capital, but again i knew the immense potential of the market for my dad was already into retailing jewellery. Now the time is ripe to leverage the commodities market, to synergise the same with other
entry points of the bullion market.
Indeed, the Dubai Metal and Commodities Exchange is comin up...memberships are gonna open sometime soon.
so in a nut shell, its about conceiving an idea, living with it , fine tuning it, and then jus takin it from there.
and jus to get some activity started....lets start by discussing Laxmi Niwas Mittal, Steel baron.
