“The focus of an entrepreneur must be on giving back something valuable to the society. Profit must be the by-product of the ventures keeping the humanitarian perspectives. While going with the flow, one should also focus on unexplored segments like boosting agriculture sector, reviving cottage industries etc. Attention should be on uplifting the lives of marginalised people through business enterprises. Also as management students, if one wants to work in India, an individual must understand the country’s priorities well,” Kumar added.
