Here’s Great Tip: Should you be an entrepreneur? | Ajeet Khurana | TEDxHRCollege

Here is Something You Should See…


As the startup scene is heating up in India and the rest of the world, too much noise is drowning out the real signal. Popular media is spouting generic statements about the entrepreneurship landscape. The Internet is behaving as an echo chamber that repeats generalities and half-truths to the point that they appear like the truth. Looking at the startup space from the lens of its three main stakeholders: entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors; I now call upon an active member of Mumbai Angels, Ajeet Khurana, an author, educator, mentor, angel investor, e-commerce expert for About.com, and the person who can wear the investor’s shoes as well as the entrepreneur’s hat.

For two decades, he has been getting businesses off the ground as an entrepreneur. Over the past few years, he has done the same as an investor and mentor.
Ajeet Khurana is an author, educator, mentor, angel investor, and speaker for ecommerce and online business. As a lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin, he taught ecommerce back in 1993, when the term “ecommerce” had not yet been coined.
Ajeet works at IIT Bombay — India’s premier engineering school. Here, he is CEO of the Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE), which is the school’s business incubator.
A mentor to budding online entrepreneurs, Ajeet is also the author of a textbook titled Information Technology for Retailing. He is credited for creating a part of the language around ecommerce.
