    what a big loser he is !! The very parent company – Bharti Telecom which he used as a platform to become airtel.. he is refusing to recognise its shareholders. What a shame for a big guy like him… running after few millions. He has proved that its all about money and nothing more… and the world praises him for what he is NOT and never will be. How much ever he tries.. he can never become a TATA or INFOSYS.. he is a LALA from ludhiana and will remain so !!

    @izaatmusic Good entrepreneurs don’t focus too much on their competitors. They focus on their niche and creating the best value for their customers. If people love the services you provide, you wouldn’t even need to worry about your competitors; they will worry about you.

  • Exult:

    People who innovate within a company are not called “Entrepreneurs”, they are called “Enterprising Persons.”
    The last thing you want to learn from a university is to how to be an entrepreneur, they more your learn from those “entrepreneurship” courses the less you know. The only way to be an entrepreneur is to go your own way, and if you want to learn then find a mentor who has started a company.
