The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 14 Sep 2020The overwhelming success of the Happiest Minds initial public offering holds out two lessons, one happy, the other, sombre. Happiest Minds was set up by Ashok Soota when he was 68 or thereabouts. That should inspire a whole lot of experienced professionals to shed their inhibitions and apprehensions and take the entrepreneurial plunge. Startups are not just for young kids with bright ideas and little else, apart from a parental garage in which to tinker with those ideas. Those who have spent a career in the world of work and know a thing or two about the missing bits that are crying out to be supplied, about how to manage people, market stuff and raise capital can also do startups. Samit Ghosh set up Ujjivan Financial Services after he retired from his banking job.
