E100: 'How not to operate a startup' with Samson Selladurai

Gravitas WINS Radio

While we talk about entrepreneurship, most of the discussions are about success, growth, and all the glories associated with it.

It is said that we learn the best from our success and from other's failures. So here I'm talking to my friend Samson who can be rightly called as a serial entrepreneur to discuss what we should be careful about and what we should avoid in the path of entrepreneurship.
