The SmartCEO - August 2014

In dieser Ausgabe

At a macro level, the last one-year has been wonderful for the Indian entrepreneurship ecosystem – both on the startup side as well as the investment side. Flipkart’s Bansals and MuSigma’s Dhiraj Rajaram are now in the race to take the place of Infosys’ Narayana Murthy of the 1990s as brand ambassadors of Indian entrepreneurship. InMobi’s Naveen Tewari is not far behind and so are several others. These wonderful leaders have done earth-shattering work, so as to prompt even an Economic Times to dedicate a section of their Page-1 for startups on a daily basis! In typical ET style, the newspaper even did a tongue-in-cheek feature on whether a last name of Bansal can be the crucial difference between a successful and failed e-commerce venture, what with Sachin Bansal, Binny Bansal (of Flipkart), Mukesh Bansal (of Myntra) and Rohit Bansal (co-founder of Snapdeal) leading the race in this industry. (Going by that logic, Peyush Bansal of Lenskart who is featured in our current edition is well positioned!).
