The need of the hour for entrepreneurs is to undertake activities that significantly contribute to the welfare of society and the country. When working in any field, our guiding principles should be based on quality, values, and sustainability. It is important to internalize that prosperity goes far beyond financial gain, said Sanjay Kirloskar, Managing Director of Kirloskar Brothers Ltd., while delivering his keynote address as the chief guest of the Annual Awards Function of Deccan Chamber of Commerce Industries and Agriculture Pune (DCCIA) held in Pune recently. 

Kirloskar added, “Along with adopting updated technology and recognizing their capabilities, entrepreneurs should focus on productivity, prosperity, and stability.  In today’s dynamic industrial landscape, there is a new start-up being established every day and I feel the only way to stay relevant for entrepreneurs is to embrace change and continue to learn each day.”

He said that along with emphasis on skill development, entrepreneurs should be prepared to experiment and take calculated risks. “ Today, the country offers newer diversity, and it needs to be accepted with collaboration and competition to move towards sustainable development. It is only through this that we can achieve social and environmental progress along with economic growth.” he added.
