Indian Entrepreneurs Who Failed Before They Succeed

Success does not come easily and this is especially true for the business owners. You may dream of having a successful business and earning a lot of money from your business. If you go through the lives of Indian entrepreneurs, you will find many names who failed before tasting the success of toast in life. It is a matter of great hard work, patience, perseverance, passion, and dedication to achieve success after failing in a career. If you have seen failure in your career, you cannot stop there because of your fear of seeing failure again. Failure is not a sign of your defeat but you can turn it into the first step of success. It is time to work harder and these successful Indian entrepreneurs have proved the fact beautifully.

Dhirubhai Ambani

Ambanis are known for their immensely successful business and as one of the leading entrepreneurs of the world who ranked at the topmost positions of FORBS list of rich people. But the success path of the founder Dhirubhai Ambani was not that easy. He started his empire from the grass level and failed several times while pursuing his dream. But it was his dedication and the hard work that helped him to become the richest Indian and one of the leading Indian entrepreneurs of the world. His legacy is still continuing with the hand of his sons.

Mr. N.R Narayana Murthy

He started his career in IIMA and opened his own company, a small startup, Softronics. He failed badly in his business and joined a job in Patni Computer System. But his dream was something different so he started another company, Infosys Technologies, with his 6 partners and rest is history. Infosys is now one of the most successful IT companies across the world.

Ratan Tata

When it comes to the successful business story of Indian entrepreneurs, there is no way to forget the Tata Group of Industries. But when Ratan Tata introduced his Indica, his hatchback car, he failed. Even he was supposed to sell the car division of his company. Even the behavior of the Ford Motor was insulting, even after showing interest in the car. But when Jaguar LandRover of Ford faced a big loss, Ratan Tata saved the company from bankruptcy and bought their JLR division. He then achieved great success with his motor division and made history in earning revenue with the cars.

There are also other names like Sunil Mittal, and Ritesh Agarwal who have seen failure in their first business years but then achieved their desired success with strategic plans, dedication and hard work.

He is passionate about inspiring entrepreneurs and women in business, telling great startup stories, providing readers with actionable insights on startup fundraising, startup marketing and startup non-obviousnesses and generally ranting on things that he thinks should be ranting about all while hoping to impress upon them to bet on themselves (as entrepreneurs) and bet on others (as investors or potential board members or executives or managers) who are really betting on themselves but need the motivation of someone else’s endorsement to get there.
