Here is Part two of our conversation with Anil S Nair.
With important insights into the startup work culture, values based leadership and setting the right intention for your business.
As entrepreneurs we get drawn to the numbers and the idea of chasing a dream. However, it’s important to remind ourselves that every great start up begins with an idea that solves a problem. And this episode is a firm reminder of why entrepreneurship cannot be a selfish endeavour.
