“You can get started on entrepreneurship at any age in tune with the experience of many successful women and Banasthali Vidyapith, being the largest university for women’s education in India, is truly a great place to make such a start,” said Naren Bakshi, Chairman, International Ventures Group. He was addressing MBA students of Faculty of Management Studies -WISDOM, Banasthali Vidyapith on the topic ‘ Unlimited Global Opportunities for Youth as Corporate Entrepreneurs ’, a special lecture organised by Business Line under BL Club in collaboration with energy corporation Cairn India. He stressed on the need to pick concepts and skills such as yoga, meditation, music, dance from ancient India to innovatively conceptualise new areas of business that could contribute to economic progress and development of the country.

Bakshi talked about success mantras for budding women managers, particularly the much needed focus on the five Ps — passion, persistence, people, pragmatism and profitability. He also advocated the need to maintain work life balance, innovate and always ‘give back’ once successful. Bakshi also praised the efforts made by Banasthali Vidyapith in nurturing women in India and quoted it as a perfect example of social entrepreneurship.
