The founder of the Global Alliance of Mass Entrepreneurship and former chairman of Microsoft India feels it is time for young individuals to be business-owners instead of job-seekers
They say one needs to have the right risk appetite to start a business. The former chairman of Microsoft India and Bank of Baroda, Ravi Venkatesan, thinks otherwise. “The riskiest thing to be in is a job,” he says. “Whether you’re young or old, start forgetting about them. Stable jobs don't exist. Large companies reorganise, and your job is gone. Companies go through challenges, it lays off people. The fastest and the closest thing to stability is either to be self-employed or start a business,” he adds.
