"I am not the guy who makes the choice happen to him, I must make the choice" - Satya Narayanan R.
In this episode we talk to Satya Narayanan R, the Founder & Chairman of what you could say is India’s original ed-tech venture - CL Educate, better known as Career Launcher. Satya is not just an entrepreneur but also a teacher - something that he believes runs in his DNA!
Satya candidly shares his incredible journey that began in the summer of 1985 in Meerut with Satya as a shy young boy with aspirations of becoming a cricketer to starting CL with a handful of students in 1994 at the age of 24 & to raising capital via an IPO.
With humorous anecdotes from his early life, to his views on the quality of education at top b-schools, his take on entrepreneurship today and answering tough questions about size & scale v/s sustainability, tune in to get inspired by Satya & his stories of the choices he made in life.
Our key takeaways from this conversation are...
- Making acquisitions in early years of venture.
- Practicing situational leadership to get the best out of every employee.
- Chasing sustainability over size & scale.
- Importance of an IPO.
