Ans: Dear Mr.Gaonkar

Its indeed commendable that you are thinking of starting your company to help people get jobs. Given your rich experience in the agri marketing and co-operative credit society I would suggest just look back at all the problems that farmers and other users faced and see how you can help solve these problems. May be first year you just go back in the field and talk to them. Once you identify a problem that is good enough to solve for several people start working on them. You can look at how Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and other similar for profit ventures flourished across the world.

My best wishes on your next journey.

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 ????

Ans: Dear Mr Dinesh,
It looks like you have been through a lot after getting into business on your own. Your children too are at a critical stage in life which requires funds for higher education in the next few years. The first question to ask yourself is - what is the priority in your life? Is it financial stability for the family esp for the kids? Or is it the pursuit of your business? The second question is - what is the current status of your household finances? Is there enough savings to manage the household, upcoming education expenses, other expenses (travel, medical etc)?
If you are shaky, it may be time for you to consider taking an assignment which offers you a fixed remuneration and also flexibility to work on your idea. You say you were in the field of IT security. Can you consider an assignment which might take 2-3 days per week managing and overseeing the IT security for a company which cannot afford a full-time professional?
You may also want to consider getting incubated in a good healthcare incubator in your city and also apply for a start-up funding grant from the government of India and/or local state government programmes.

Ans: Reskill yourself by doing a course in the area you are interested in and then look at relevant jobs. Try looking for jobs directly in areas of your interest, your MBA degree may come in handy. You may have to start as a fresher, but that is better than nothing.
