Q1:What led to the inception of Peopleist India?
Ans 1: I always wanted to do something on my own. I
was already consulting a lot of companies and thought why not let’s start
something of your own. You are also dependent on others. I found this a great
opportunity to do this all by yourself. I’ve got great support from my
teammates and I think one should take the plunge and then there is no looking
back.
Q2:What is the biggest change you’ve seen in
yourself after Peopleist India?
Ans2: I think I’ve grown as a leader. Working with
these guys in my last assignment I was the HR manager and I was consulting many
other companies for which also I was HR. But during Peopleist when you’re working with your own
people so closely, you grow because you have so many experiences .For the first
time it’s like you go to the jungle and hunt your own food. In a job whatever
you do you get paid every month but in this you’re hunting on your own like
finding a client, delivering a service. The best thing has been growing as a
leader and bringing about a change in not only yourself but in your clients as
well.
Q3:As a consultant what is your instinctive approach
to any problem?
Ans3:Fisrt step is to know the problem really really
well. How we operate is we’re like sharp shooters. Often times what we’ve seen
is when an organisation calls us, they’re generally talking about symptoms and
this is generally one part of the problem. So first understand what it is and
where we are and where do you want to go and then devising how could we get
there. We take the best of insights from the organisations themselves.
Q4:How do you maintain balance between work and
personal life?
Ans4:I have the one principle of really living your
life. I think there’s nothing worse than a life not lived and I don’t think my
work is work. I really enjoy it and for me its like how would a hobby be for
someone. Its something which you would enjoy. Whereas personal life is
concerned that’s what we do all the time.
Q5:TEDx ..was that personal or professional?
Ans5:It was a very good opportunity to share my
experiences with the youth of our country. My TEDx experience was phenomenal. I really enjoyed
and I think that the 18 minutes concept is really cool.
Q6:Nowadays start-ups have become more of a trend. Can
you give some pointers for successful start-ups?
Ans6:They say 90-97% start-ups fail in their initial
years. The most vital thing for a
startup to be successful is for their
founder to know who they really are and what they want to do and how they want
to do it. Nobody teaches you how to run a startup in your college education .For a startup to
be successful it really needs to be able to add values.
Q7:What advice would you like to give to your
younger self?
Ans7:Don’t take yourself seriously. Just do what you
like to do. A lot of people I have come across are suffering from many things. You
can have a lot of money but still be depressed .You should keep moving and add
values.
