I had an excellent opportunity of attending TIE Mentoring Clinic. The mentoring session was conducted by Kanwal Rekhi. I am sure he doesn't need any introduction. It started with Kanwal sharing experiences of his entrepreneurial journey. Then people had chance to do a short 10 minute presentation of their business which was followed by Q&A and suggestions from Kanwal and other dignitaries present. I have tried to capture his experience and suggestions to entrepreneur. I believe it will be helpful. According to Kanwal, entrepreneur should be LISTNER rather than being PUSHER. Mostly entrepreneur fall so much in love with their idea they start beginning to think that their product/service is exactly what a customer wants. They somehow forget to listen to customer needs. And in the process ignore their valuable feedbacks which could drive innovation. The innovation should be driven by mix of Gut feeling and customer's feedback not just by former. See less
