We do not conform to the norms of safe play but are always on the lookout to push the boundary of trade and commerce to develop new opportunities and markets sometimes even where none exist. We know that failure is the stepping stone to success and are not deterred by our own failures but press on towards our goal with single minded determination and take the help of people who have got the experience and calibre to help us. So why is it that we do not even think of taking the help of people who have done it and seen it all but were unable to achieve their goal . Yes we are talking about unsuccessful entrepreneurs! Anyone who embarks on the entrepreneurial journey dreams of his startup achieving great heights in the days to come but the unsavoury reality is that 90% of startups in India fail within the first 5 years. They fail not because of want of dedication, effort or enthusiasm but despi...
