DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

Kanwal Rekhi is an engineer, a businessman, a millionaire philanthropist and a revolutionary in the telecom industry. For the world though, he is the doyen of entrepreneurship.

At TES 2011, he struck a cautionary note calling on Indian businessmen to work towards reducing inefficiencies. Rekhi says that's the biggest reason why India is still lagging behind China a big deal.

Here are some important take always from what Rekhi had to tell the budding entrepreneurs:

1. Nobody knows who is going to be a successful entrepreneur.
2. No great entrepreneur is born because of his genes.
3. Entrepreneurship is not something that you are born with. It’s a skill that is cultivated and developed over time.
4. One should be willing to take risks and not look for the easy
5. settlement path if you want to make it big.
6. Discover yourself. Nobody else will.
7. Starting a venture on your own involves complete dedication and
8. focus. It’s like doing tapasya - where nothing else matters and nothing gets in the way of reaching your goal.
9. It is very important to be self motivated and to seek answers when
10. you’re stuck.

While leaving, Rekhi's parting words were "Get help. Be generous. Help others."
