Title:
[QUOTE=Admin;625]He says that Ranganath mentored him in thinking that nothing is impossible. “Applying the impossible is the mantra he taught me and I have been fairly successful with his teaching,” he says. Kejriwal puts all the mentoring in a nutshell and says when one of his VCs asked him to enter China; he was shocked at the dream of it. “Ranganath said that if there is an opportunity then let’s exploit it the way no one has. Hence, mobile2win was created in the world’s most competitive market by an Indian firm just two years into business!” he smiles. Today, Kejriwal enjoys mentoring and helps people in sculpting ideas and helps them thinking beyond what they have already thought, just the way he was mentored. “I learnt thinking beyond the box from Ranganath, art of detail from my father and giving liberties to people in their work from my grandfather. After successfully using these tips to build my career now, I am teaching the next generation of prospective entrepreneurs the same,” he concludes. The humble mentor Sasha Mirchandani, Venture Partner, BlueRun Ventures is a man with many hats! Prior to joining BlueRun Ventures, Mirchandani was at Mirc Electronics where he was head of corporate affairs and new business. Prior to that, he was the CEO and Founder of Imercius Technologies, a BPO, and prior to that, he founded Cocoon Ventures, an early stage investment company. Moreover, Mirchandani sits on the board of Fractal Analytics, Algorythm, Gulita Securities, Madhouse Media, Shivaji Securities, and AsliSale. Mirchandani says that he learnt time management from his English teacher and thanks to that lesson; he has always been on time for the past 20 years! “She was my first mentor and I owe learning the importance of time to her,” he says. “My father, Jasjeet Singh, VC, Associate Capsules and Dilip Piramal, Chairman VIP Industries Ltd have been my mentors too. Each one of them have given me different inputs according to the specific queries I’ve had every time,” he says. Whenever he was in doubt, Mirchandani always went to Singh and Piramal for a mentoring lesson. “Both of them gave me logical and rational solutions to all my problems and the picture cleared every time speaking to them!” he admits. Now, when Mirchandani is at the other end, he says that he advises all the young people to do anything and everything with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. He thinks that a mentor is very important in everyone’s life and he/she has seen life and the road ahead. “One question which I think as a mentee one should ask is not what to do but what not to do! This will help one to avoid a lot of mistakes to be made otherwise,” he opines. “I am on the advisory board of a number of companies and I try to make their life simpler by giving them sound career and business suggestions,” he concludes. For these people, mentoring is not a business initiative but a pleasurable experience to help others achieve what they did during their early days. And mentoring is all about passing on knowledge to a group of prospective new age entrepreneurs who would too one day, pass on the same information as mentors one day.[/QUOTE]
