Mission Statement

London Business School required me to write down my mission statement to get enrolled for its Entrepreneurship Summer School program. So here it goes:

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

-- Excerpt from the book ‘The Monk who sold his Ferrari

By Robin Sharma

Mission

I am passionate about India and Indian marketplace.

Emerging India is enjoying a high ride with its growing middle class but still a portion of its population suffers acute poverty. I am a staunch follower of late Prof. C.K. Prahalad and the paths shown by him.

I want to serve 300 million destitute people, the so called bottom of the pyramid of India profitably bringing some fundamental and enduring change in their lives for future.

But to begin with, I find it wise to start serving the middle class which encompasses enormous potential and in the process slowly and steadily penetrating the rest, the bottom of the pyramid.

Being educated and worked as a techie till now I understand the power of internet and believe in its potential.

The means to achieve the mission as I believe is ‘Empowering through Knowledge.’ And the internet is the right weapon for this.

Health and well-being is a fundamental right to every citizen, in fact every human being and I want to empower each with giving him/her a choice for every health and well-being need.

Ultimately, I want to touch millions of lives within my life!

Aspirations

I am a dreamer and ‘Thinking Big’ is the mantra. I believe in my dreams and in realizing them. As an entrepreneur I can’t relinquish without being a household name in the market I’m serving. Having said that, for me ‘being a mother is more important than recognition of motherhood.’ The journey is the reward.

I want to make big money for myself along with creating value for the society.

I want to initiate the idea, bring it to realty and hold it till it gets matured and sustains growth by itself and then move on to probably creating new value or to bring new change.

As quoted in the beginning I want to make my life meaningful at the end of the day so that I can die happily and peacefully. Everything is a plan and a step towards that.

Risk Propensity

I believe that struggle is part and parcel of life. I always stretch myself outside the zone of comfort to cover that extra mile and I’ll be doing so for rest of my life. I am single as of now and I’ll make my future family considering this fact.

I have already left my permanent job and now on the payroll of my own Ltd. Company. When it comes realizing my dream I can go to any extent.

Risk of loosing control of my business never bothers me as long as it’ll add to value creation and growth.

Why I want to join LBS

I want to go to one of the best places to shape my dream. London Business School being one of the best B-Schools in the world and its track record of nurturing entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Summer School program here is the ideal place to offer me the right direction and adequate support to fill the gap between the idea and the implementation.


If you have got similar mission and aspiration, I am definitely waiting for you!
