Guys,
Recently some of my employees got unsolicited call from a gentleman called Manish Gupta, who wants to woo them away from my company to his startup. Of course like every normal human being, my colleagues also need a reason to go and work for a relatively unknown and small company. So they need convincing. And he did put up an argument to convince them…
And then came the bummer!
He thinks that my colleagues should work for his company because he has a bigger vision and everyone has a bright future with him. But how do people believe him? Simple – His was the runner-up of the Business Baazigar contest of Zee TV.
😀
I could not stop myself from laughing out at this humbleness.
Then I thought of doing some research on the business model and modus-operandi of his company. I found out that there was no innovation and no marketing strategy (mind you, he must have spent time in sales, but definitely not in marketing). He is selling the same old wine in the same old bottle with no value addition. There is no investment in human resource development, since the human resource policy is absolutely based on poaching.
Is this the vision, he is selling to my employees?
I wish him best of luck!
BTW, in all my humbleness, I will like to get my message across to Mr. Gupta that I have been on the jury panel of nationwide business plan contest (organized by one of the most reputed management institution in India), giving my inputs to several business baazigars who are working hard to build their dream company!
And yes, it does not hurt me anywhere. But it is sad to see this approach to business after getting the said recognition.
I hope he learn to differenciate, innovate and deliver!
And yes, I am fast losing faith in TV programs like Business Baazigar if this is the talent they have identified 😉
Dear Sir,
I can understand how you must have felt by Mr.Manish Gupta’s episode, by the way the reason of leaving a comment here is just to clearify that Mr. Manish is not the runner up of Business Baazigar at all and I can say that sincerely because I was the first runner up of that show.
It’s sad to be a part of the show where people like Manish took part in, I totally agree with you that you must be laughing at him, I can see him ruining the names of people who have actually worked hard for the show.
To end I can only say that its an approach of a loser and would request you not to put all of us under one umbrella.
Hi Ali,
I am shocked to hear this.
Of course, I am not putting all participants under the same umbrella and I have utmost respect for people who start on their own!
I wish you all the best for your venture!
Regards
Abhishek
