Hey, I just read something insightful on HindustanTimes.com that I wanted to share with you.
Gaurav Munjal, the CEO of Unacademy, had some great advice for startup founders, and it really got me thinking.
Gaurav Munjal shared on X (formerly Twitter) that building a business in India is a “long game,” and it took him 15-20 years to build an “iconic company.”
He emphasized that those who start up to make quick money often give up along the way and advised against doing it for the wrong reasons.
What struck me was how he highlighted the need for patience and commitment in the startup journey.
It’s not about making quick bucks; it’s about playing the long game and staying dedicated to your vision, even when things get tough.
His advice resonated with many users who responded to his post.
One person mentioned that it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and those who stay committed for the long haul are the ones who shape the future and build the icons of tomorrow.
Another user pointed out how we are the first generation building startups at this pace and scale, emphasizing the uniqueness of the current entrepreneurial landscape.
And a third person emphasized the importance of patience and commitment in building a lasting business in India.
Reading this made me realize that success doesn’t come overnight, especially in the startup world.
It’s about persistence, resilience, and a long-term vision.
Munjal’s words serve as a reminder to stay focused on the journey and not get discouraged by short-term setbacks.
What do you think about Munjal’s advice?
Do you agree that patience and commitment are key to building a successful startup?
