Entrepreneurship Starts with Courage, Not Ideas | Anil Kumar Vishwanadhula | TEDxVishnu Institute

Описание: Ten years ago, I quit Microsoft without knowing what I would do next. People laughed, even my manager asked if I am really serious. But the Courage to quit didn’t appear overnight. It began years earlier, during bus journeys between Hyderabad and Bangalore, when I felt unhappy and started building a Telugu music platform called ePaata. It didn’t become a huge success, but it taught me - "how to execute an Idea". If you want to be an entrepreneur, you should start building. Don’t wait for funding or customers. High chances, it may fail, but what you get is Courage. Anil is the Founder and CEO of EDTEX that develops Digital Transformation Solutions to business schools and universities. The Solutions developed by EDTEX are used at IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, ISB, IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. If you have to describe EDTEX in one sentence, it's like a Zoho for Education.

Before starting EDTEX, Anil studied B.Tech Computer Science from IIT Guwahati and MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. He is very passionate about building Tech Products and worked at Yahoo! And Microsoft before starting up. Before EDTEX, Anil also co-founded two other startups. One is WINSPIRE - a student magazine for motivation and career guidance. Secondly, Anil built Epaata, a personal radio for Telugu songs.

Anil is inspired by Sreedhar Vembu's model of Bootstrapped Entrepreneurship and personally chose this model to build EDTEX. Anil is running EDTEX for the last 8 years and he wants to make it global and be the No.1 company in the Higher Education Space Globally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
