His Khadi movement was one of the perfect examples of how an idea can bring new insight into the way things are done. He created the market by abandoning luxury. He himself weaved his clothes. He can aptly be termed as the finest example of entrepreneurship in India, considering his success in his venture “India’s Independence”.

On the occasion of his Gandhi Jayanti, which has also been declared as World Non-Violence Day by UNO, let us see what lessons does the “Father of Nation” has in store for entrepreneurs to learn:

6. Truth

“Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.”

Gandhiji idolized King Harishchandra throughout his life. He was a preacher of truth. He always believed that even if he loses something while practicing truth, in reality, he is not losing anything. This helped him keep his conscience clear in his journey.
