00:00Sir, in the second edition of Startup Mahakom 2025, we have more than 3,000 startups.
00:06What do you think, how is Startup Ecosystem developing in India?
00:10Yes, it is developing very well.
00:13You have seen, there is so much excitement, so many people have come.
00:16By the way, 2-3 things are happening here.
00:19First of all, 3,000 startup booths have come.
00:23In our country, maybe next year 10,000 will come.
00:26Who knows, its expansion is happening so fast.
00:29And the second thing is that it is inspirational for the young people.
00:32Now whoever comes here and sees the booths, they also think that we should also do something.
00:37We will also get some ideas here.
00:39So it is increasing, it is a rolling stone.
00:42Gathering steam very very quickly.
00:45So I think India will be the biggest startup nation in the world.
00:49And this Mahakom will be the biggest festival in Asia.
00:53I think in the next 2-3 years, maybe it will be bigger than this in China, I don't know.
00:59But certainly, this is the biggest festival in Europe now.
01:04Now we will have to see how it is developing.
01:07And this Mahakom is also a very good venue where so many people can accommodate.
01:13Otherwise, there is no other place in India for this.
01:16Sir, there are so many startups.
01:18I think you can't go and give that message to everyone.
01:21But through our Good Returns, we would like to know
01:23what message would you like to give to all the startups and booths here
01:28to make their journey more successful?
01:31Yes, I would like to give the message that
01:34there are so many opportunities for them in India and nowhere else in the world.
01:37India represents the biggest opportunity in the world.
01:40Because there are a lot of needs here,
01:43the journey of development is also very far ahead.
01:45So first of all, I would like to say that you will not get this opportunity anywhere else.
01:50Secondly, think about your purpose and your competence.
01:55Don't think about how much money you have to make and how soon.
01:58If you think about that, then those are wrong ideas.
02:00You have to think about our expertise in whichever area we are working.
02:04What can we make in that which is sustainable,
02:07which is long-lasting, with which we can build an institution.
02:11Sir, what is the strategy that makes any startup a successful business?
02:16Sorry, let me explain.
02:17What is the strategy that makes any startup a successful business?
02:23There is no such strategy.
02:27This is all up to the individual.
02:29You don't think there is any thumb rule?
02:31What?
02:32You don't think there is any thumb rule?
02:33There can be no such thumb rule.
02:35See, I just spoke to Mr. Ronny Skruvala on stage.
02:43Now, he has it in his heart.
02:45Persistence, common sense, intelligence, marketing, leadership.
02:51It comes from within.
02:53It cannot be given to people.
02:57Nor can you study it in college to some extent.
03:01You can do a lot of addition.
03:03You will have to learn how to run a business.
03:05But at the end, it should come from within.
03:08Because there will be many failures.
03:10How you tackle failures will make a difference.
03:13You need resilience.
03:14How many years can you last?
03:16You need hard work.
03:18How many years can you work hard?
03:20This is up to you.
03:21This is up to each individual.
03:23Do you have any learning?
03:25Your journey has been so successful.
03:27Your journey has been so interesting.
03:29Do you have any learning?
03:30There is a lot of learning.
03:33But my main learning is to never give up.
03:36Never give up.
03:37Nowadays, people think that they have started a Genpak business.
03:40Now, everybody takes it for granted.
03:42Yes, there is outsourcing.
03:43In those days, think about it.
03:45We went to America.
03:46We asked them to give us their business processes.
03:49We will go 5000 miles away and do this business process on our bad telecom lines.
03:54They were laughing at us.
03:56They were asking, there are PCs in India.
03:58Do you know English?
03:59Do you have phone lines?
04:00Do you have roads?
04:02Never give up.
04:03When you have a good idea, never leave it.
04:05Hold it tight.
04:06Thank you so much, sir.
