In his childhood, he saw a classmate come in a big car and had nice things with him. He asked his mom, why can't have such things.

His mom replied, "woh bade log hai" i.e. they are rich.

That's when he got curious what is the meaning of being rich. He kept researching as a young boy for around 4-5 years.

He finally made a list by grade 6. He defined rich as:

• You need to have money.
• You need to have some art (personality).
• He should be like a magnet
• He should have something interesting to share.

Drawing inspiration from US history, he founded his own venture based on three fundamental rights: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

As a result, he shuns the concept of a personal cabin and all employees have access to the same resources, like shared parking spaces, economy class travel, and hotel room sharing.

In his company, there are designated rooms that have either a company's name or an entrepreneur's name on them. For example, they have PayPal, HDFC, Zerodha, etc.

1) Creating wealth not just for yourself but many people associated with the business.

In his two companies, there are around 1600 people. Among these, around 800 have ESOPs.

2) It should be a fun workplace.

Keeping the work environment easy, only then he will be able to give his 100 percent.

3) Think big.

Dream the unthinkable.

4) Go all in.

Don't keep plan B.

5) 'Dhanda' approach.

The moment you invest your time in something, it should make money. In other words, the business should make money.

6) Everyone should be a 'salesman.'

To start anything, you need to SELL.

His definition of a salesman is the other person should enjoy listening to you.

If every person is a salesman, our relative chances of winning are higher.

Characteristics of a good salesman:

• Should be able to use carrot-stick together. Agree and Disagree.
• Should be an affable and humble person.
• Should look at the other person in his eye i.e. confidence.
• Should be energetic.

Think unthinkable but the road should be a real one.

1. First think of making a profit.

2. Have at least 10 really good people with various skillset.

He defined 'really good' as people who I cannot match and I salute them for what they do. For example, a creative video editor.

3. Bring cultural elements that will be long-lasting.

For instance, in his company, everyone does their job. The CTO still codes, the CFO still does the accounting, etc.

4. First 2-3 years, focus only on things that you know you will get done for sure. Don't take a big risk in the initial years.

In addition to the above points, you may aim for the US market.

Anything that you export from India (products & services) will bring revenue in $.

The US market has a higher consumption rate as compared to the European market.

There are two ways to grow:

Organic: needs excellent execution

Inorganic: through acquisition, needs capital and vision.

• Should do unthinkable.
• Should go all in.
• Should bear the pain.
• Should give 100%.
• Should be a fun person.
• Should be humble.
• Should have the guts to take risks.
• Should go with the flow (especially in learning).
• Should have energy.

Company successes don't require recognition, but individual successes should always be celebrated. Without goals, an individual won't get far.

For example, if a friend answers "going on" when asked how he's doing, it's likely he hasn't set any objectives. But if he's discussing his aims on the call, odds are he'll succeed.

Businesses may not always have a concrete culture in the beginning, but opportunities to improve are always available.

value of creating new solutions to address present challenges, and highlights the benefits of teamwork despite potential challenges.

Speed up all three:

• Money
• Fame
• Competent
