The journey from BBA (B.P.college of business administration) to become entrepreneur

Picture “Two roads divert in a wood,

And I took the one, less come travelled”

Some plan for manger some for charter accountant but I always plan to hire them. I plan for something in which I can prove myself where I’m owner of myself.

So, I’m here as entrepreneur. This basic idea developed in me in my bachelor. BPCBA the place where my faculty groomed me, expose me to practical world and built up my confidence. The next was EDI where I did my PGDM-BE learn various aspects of business and I started from there only.

It started from there and today I can count on many projects recently launch is createmytrip.co.in. Createmytrip.co.in is online portal where people can book air ticket, hotel booking, bus ticket booking and lots more. The next is Aao Padhe that is in progress. We are making the Aao padhe as education search engine in India. And the most awaited is Agrawal Foods. Agrawal foods going to start in July-2013, AF will provide the new snacks product with considering the current health conscious people. We are launching this product in Gujarat and also in Torrento, Canada.  And there are many under consideration.

After handling this entire project I can conclude one thing that the designating oneself as entrepreneur is easier then proving oneself as entrepreneur.

Journey of EDI

Entrepreneur… Its not a profession but a skill. And skills cannot be taught but it can b groomed and sharpen, and EDI did same to me. Two year in EDI, it’s not just two year of post-graduation rather its two years of practical exposure.  It gives me best platform to learn the real mean of entrepreneurship. The best thing that we learnt there was to turn negative into positive, discover opportunities and to grab them. 2 year in EDI is just like living in the lap of nature, with people who have business in their body as blood and ideas in place of heart. The interaction with numerous faculty and consultants helped me broaden my vision, remain focused and manage my time better. The Faculties at EDI have great potential in making a student to understand easily the concepts of business management. The best part about EDI was that, there was always a helping hand available. The faculty as well as administrative staff were cooperative and had a very helpful attitude .Rather I can say that this is the best place to acquiring ‘knowledge’.

  Being in a state like Gujarat gave me opportunity to get exposed to the business world and taught me how to run businesses efficiently and effectively. I started two companies “AGARWAL FOODS” (with a new product called “Crips” ) and “GALAXY COMFORT” ( Imported wallpaper suppiler).Have great experience working on these products  .I already cover half of Gujarat and hope in near future I would cover half of country.
