Omkara Infotech Private Limited’s Post

I went from a small-town CA to backing 100+ startups in just 5 years using the secret Gujarati business playbook. Here's the secret sauce from a Gujju standpoint powering 1 out of 3 Indian billionaires: ✅Gujaratis don't wait for the 'perfect' moment. They seize every chance, however small. Here’s an example: Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of Reliance Industries, started by trading spices and yarn. He had small opportunities that eventually led to building one of India's largest conglomerates.  Lesson:In business, taking action is better than just thinking. ✅Calculated risks aren't scary—they're essential for growth. Karsanbhai Patel, founder of Nirma, is a good example of this who took a significant risk by pricing his detergent at one-third the cost of multinational brands, which completely revolutionised the market. Lesson: Risks are necessary for getting rewards. ✅Gujaratis don’t believe in working alone. Networking is their most valuable asset. Azim Premji, while not Gujarati by birth, embodies this principle. His networking skills helped transform Wipro from a vegetable oil company into a global IT powerhouse. Lesson: Your network determines your net worth. ✅Jugaad isn't just a word; it's a lifestyle. Maximum output, minimum input. Mansukh Prajapati, inventor of MittiCool, used his jugaadu mind and created a clay refrigerator that runs without electricity. Lesson: When there are limits, we become more creative. ✅Gujaratis are famous for their customer-first DNA. The customer isn't just the king—they're family. Jamsetji Tata, founder of the Tata Group, built his empire on the principles of customer satisfaction and ethical business practices. Lesson: Loyalty is earned through care, not transactions. ✅Gujaratis innovate even faster than startups. Mukesh Ambani has consistently innovated, from petrochemicals to telecom (Jio), revolutionising each industry he tries to enter. Lesson: Change is the only constant in business. But here's the kicker: you don't need Gujarati genes to adopt this mindset. These principles are universal. I've seen them work wonders in Dubai's tech scene and Mumbai's stock market alike. The question is: Which of these principles resonates most with you? #BusinessMindset #EntrepreneurialSpirit #StartupSuccess

Why did I drop my start up idea? Yes, you heard that right, I quit. After, getting rejection multiple times and taking feedbacks from the investors, I quit on my idea that I have been working on for couple of months, Instead I started working on a different idea, got the market validation from my peers and finally presented at few places, This time, my idea got selected by Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati e-cell and they helped me in connecting with the right investors, Meeting with investors provided me with a roadmap to launch the project and helped assess its feasibility. Moral: Sometimes, letting go is the first step to moving forward. Rejections can be redirections in disguise. How many times have you held on to your dreams when you should have let go? P:S- I’d like to thank the E-Cell NFSU Gandhinagar for giving me the opportunity to gain an investor’s perspective. Special thanks to my friends Aryan Sakaria, Prerana Wagh, Abhineet Agrawal, Shivaksh Agrawal, Anwesha B. and the entire E-cell team for organising such an impactful event. #startup #Entrepreneurship #StartupJourney #Networking #LessonsLearned #Resilience

Where do you see India in the next 10 years? In yesterday's Shark Tank India episode Anupam Mittal said in the next 10 years, the following industries will boom: • Companies that provide tech solutions to other companies for AI and automation. #ai #artificialintelligenceforbusiness #artificialintelligence • Companies that build valuable brands and can bridge the gap between lifestyle and youth aspirations. #lifestyle #bridge • Fintech companies, as the banking sector is relatively small, and businesses are not receiving enough loans and credit. Without adequate credit, it becomes challenging for them to survive. #fintech #banking #businessadvisory #loan #creditscore Witnessing the founders' journey with their newborn baby startups is always a captivating experience. Each startup brings its unique name, process, and USB (Unique Selling Proposition), making the competition even more thrilling. #ALittleExtra ✨: Founder Diksha Singhi emphasized the uniqueness of her business, stating that "my extra size is my extra personality, my X factor." 💪 #womeninbusiness #startingwith5kinvestment #Assembly🧳: The brand aims to provide excellent products in a certified standard, aligning with the principle of "Less is More," for everyone's convenience. 🧳 Aditya Khanna Mohit Garg #NasherMiles 🌍 : The name "Nasher Miles" signifies illuminating every mile of a traveler brilliantly. ✈️Lokesh Daga Abhishek Daga Shruti Kedia Daga In the next decade, I envision India as a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainable development, driving significant economic growth and enhancing quality of life for its citizens. My thoughts align with the collaborative spirit necessary for mutual growth, underscoring the importance of working together towards the ambitious vision of a developed India by 2047. Let's unite our efforts and resources to turn this vision into reality, ensuring prosperity for all.

Startups are the heartbeat of India's economic evolution, propelling innovation and driving growth. Yet, their journey is fraught with challenges and triumphs that shape not only their destiny but also the landscape of our nation's progress. Today, we had the privilege of delving into the captivating story of Mr. Abhijit Mutha, the visionary founder of Primes & Zooms, an ingenious photography and cinematography gear rental service. Our conversation unveiled the intricacies of his journey, from inception to overcoming hurdles and gathering invaluable insights along the way. Why do startups fail, you ask? Here are some sobering truths: 1. Underestimating the monumental challenges – be it financial constraints, time constraints, or navigating the ever-evolving market dynamics. 2. The absence of a clear vision and unwavering focus can lead even the most promising ventures astray. 3. Knowledge is power, and the lack thereof in commercial, domain-specific, and legal realms can spell doom for budding enterprises. 4. Co-founder conflicts can unravel the strongest of partnerships, highlighting the importance of synergy and alignment of goals. 5. Vigilance is paramount to avoid the pitfalls of fraud, misconduct, and the perilous trap of hubris. 6. Failing to establish robust structures, delegate responsibilities, and streamline processes can hinder scalability and sustainability. As we reflect on these challenges, let's ponder: How can we collectively empower and nurture the next generation of startups to overcome these hurdles and thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape?
