Dear Chandu sir, I m a student of yours from IIM indore. I completed my MBA this year. And want to know which career path would give me the skills, knowledge and experience to start up a company of my own one day. Is it management consultant, entering a VC via Investment banking or something else
Ans: Ashutosh
In my view, any meaningful professional experience is helpful in starting your own company. It would be better if you work in the same industry that you eventually want to be in on your own as that will give you the relevant experience, build hands-on expertise plus create your network. Use every opportunity to learn and improve yourself in every way. Develop a set of mentors/advisers/ well-meaning friends and associates.
All the best ????
