My tryst with KB
I love my job - and who wouldn't love a job that lets you meet all kinds of interesting people, do what you love and more!
So today we happened to go to Pantaloon Knowledge House - the HQ of the man whose rocking the country. Kishore Biyani.
It was an amazing meeting that had many lessons.....really did not get an opportunity to chat with him, or even see him in action. But there was still a lot to learn.....
1. Have a dream larger than your own interest - Biyani ain't doing this coz he wants to be rich......not because he wants fame ....he's doing this coz he dreams of something bigger....to transform and rebuild India....and through something he understands - the consumer mindspace.....beautiful!
2. Biyani is strikingly similar in many ways to Satya, the dynamic founder of Career Launcher, and a great friend, mentor and role model. They apparently had a hard time having Biyani to upgrade from his esteem to his Honda Accord....for a man who is selling 2000 Cr a year, thats a modest one......frugality.....so much an Indian way (of course he's not an MBA ;) )
3. And then I meet him, shake hands. Say "Abhishek". He says "Kishore". Yeah right! I dont know you!!!! Apparently he's really modest - will talk when he makes it a 40,000 crore company (doesnt think 2k Cr is a big deal...)...interesting how achievers dont rest on their laurels....
4. And then right inside his cabin - a wall filled with inspirational people and their quotes...including apna Tony Bhai! And one of those is a mirror :))) Thats kewl....thats setting really high standards :)
Success sure rox......and lessons from successful people too :))
