A meeting with a Friend and an Entrepreneur...

I met Mukesh way back in 2006 in Melbourne and during our association I always found an amazing amount of energy in him. An energy which was directed toward different directions, trying to achieve something....but it was way back then. Last month after meeting with Mukesh almost 6 years later, things have changed.

He is now a budding entrepreneur (http://autowale.in/ ), speaks with lot more focus and I felt a sense of satisfaction in him.
My first question to him was, do you sleep better now and for longer hours? and there came the answer - "Yes"- A 'yes' that was honest and had satisfaction oozing out...

We discussed about the challenges he is facing in spreading out from Pune to Bangalore. The huge exponential learning he has every day of his life and the way venture capitalists  work .

I am not sure what ingredients make an "Entrepreneur " - But one thing that you need in ample amount is  "Consistent Determined & Focused Energy". But there's no gaurantee that even after all these adjective-filled energy you will be successful and I believe good entrepreneurs know that....hence they are "always Hungry".

I am afraid to wish, Mukesh and other entrepreneurs like him, a grand success - because I fear that a grand success might make them complacent and we might loose out on this "Breed". So go on people you have miles to go before you sleep.....

Thanks Mukesh for the Lunch and Sushant for accompanying me
