Entrepreneurship `Management graduates should try to become entrepreneurs' Our Bureau
Mr ParasuRaman R., Managing Director, Novar India, and Ms Annapurna Prasad, Technical Director of National Engineering Co, at a meet in Chennai.
Chennai , Sept. 13 WHILE India's robust economic growth will ensure employment opportunities aplenty, management and engineering graduates should seriously consider becoming entrepreneurs, said Mr ParasuRaman R, Managing Director of Novar India Ltd, delivering the BL Club lecture at Sriram Engineering College here. Elaborating on the challenges that future managers could face, Mr ParasuRaman, who is also the Chairman of CII-Southern Region, advised students to follow their own goals rather than succumb to peer pressure. "The Narayana Murthys and Premjis didn't start of saying they want to be rich. But they merely did what they wanted to do." Success, he said, depends on one's ability to be competitive. "Once you are inside an organisation, you have to make competitiveness a part of you." He also underlined the importance of finding out the "unique process or way" that each organisation adopts, as "each one succeeds in its own way." A new entrant to an organisation would do well to "develop a long horizon," he said, adding that an employee would be more valuable if he/she stays in the organisation for a while. The National Engineering Co's Technical Director Ms Annapurna Prasad, who is also a member of the governing council of the college, emphasised the need to equip students with industry-relevant skills. The lecture by Mr ParasuRaman marked the inauguration of the BL Club at the Sriram Engineering College, which also saw the participation of its Prinicipal, Mr G. Gopalakrishnan, and the Dean of its management studies wing, Mr R. Baktha.
