Entrepreneurial Lessons from Gandhiji


An entrepreneur, likewise, needs to take care of the truthfulness in his venture. He should not make false claims, spread rumors about his idea and also should not encourage his team members with shallow promises. He must stick to truth and encourage his team to do the same.

5. Non-Violence

“Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.”

Gandhiji was a preacher of non-violence and he used this virtue in his struggle for freedom against the British and as the modern world witnessed, he was very successful.

In entrepreneurship too, it can be seen that hurting your competitors could make you pay highly. This strategy could even back-fire your own company. It can also waste your energy in useless pursuits. If you are focused on hurting your competitor, you are spending lesser time building your own venture. So you should practice Gandhiji’s principle of non-violence.
