Anoop Bishnoi - Entrepreneur - Promoter at Bisco Ltd

 One has a great idea and now wishes to launch a new business, but what concrete steps can one take to ensure its success? Starting a business can be a stressful experience; it often feels like a large number of things have to fall in place together. Entrepreneurs and business owners often look back at their start and try to understand why they were able to become successful – it could have been a business plan, financing, or motivational advice from their mentors. We decided to talk to one such entrepreneur. In a recent talk with an experienced entrepreneur and business mentor Anoop Bishnoi, we asked him what he feels is the most important thing to start a business, and here’s what he has to say, “I believe, the most crucial aspect of starting your own business is first the validation of your idea. Most people make the mistake of believing that they must first have an idea and then start a business, whereas it should be the other way around – the focus should be on the market inst...

 COVID-19 Pandemic has affected millions of students around the world, as a reaction, we all observed a major shift in the mode of learning – from traditional face-to-face to remote (distance) learning. This very shift has brought to light the vast systemic inequalities that exist within our educational system, one of which is the lack of access to digital infrastructure and technologies. Now when things are slowly getting back to the ‘new’ normal, we can see the impact of this shortcoming on the learning outcomes of the students. To bridge this gap, we need to have an integrated learning model that blends the traditional classroom learning with online learning. Digital Technology is an important tool to revive the educational infrastructure, but how important and urgent is it to include it in a balanced learning approach? To get an idea of what would be the first reaction of someone who’s passionate about bringing educational reforms, we discussed the same with Anoop Singh Bishn...

It’s rare to find successful entrepreneurs who have achieved everything on their own. There’s always a team of skilled professionals behind a successful company that works on the visions and the ideas of the business owner/entrepreneur. So what are the most crucial qualities that are vital for an entrepreneur’s success? We say, excellent managerial & delegatory skills coupled with confidence & self-belief in leadership. To understand how we can bring these skills into action, we have some snippets from a conversation that we recently had with one of the most experienced and well-known entrepreneurs, Anoop Bishnoi , about how to sustain a successful business in the long run. Here’s what Anoop thinks can help you lay a strong foundation for your business’ success, “…to succeed in the long run one needs to be a good manager and an equally exemplary leader first. If one has efficient managerial skills, it will enable the ability to automatically control and guide a group of pro...

COVID-19 is the world’s first global crisis in a long time and no matter where you’re from, the pandemic is affecting everyone, children now too. Not just that, it has also widened the inequality gap – the social, economic, and health impacts of this pandemic will be felt for years to come. While we must be realistic about the magnitude of the challenges confronting the world’s children, we must not forget that getting things back to the ‘normal’ is not the only thing we want now, as millions of children have lost a lot more than what we can imagine. To recover and rebuild, we have to reimagine a better future for our children. We recently had a conversation with Anoop Bishnoi  about how he thinks we, as a community, can collaborate to revolutionize learning.

 It is never easy to run a business. When times are tough, businesses may have to shift their focus away from profits and towards survival. It can be difficult to keep a business afloat during challenging times, but losing money or not being able to make enough profits doesn’t signal the end of your business. It just means you need to slow down and reassess your operations. The sooner you can determine where the losses are coming from, the sooner you can reduce or eliminate the leak. Desperate times necessitate desperate measures and, to turn around a company, you must first identify the area that is draining most money. Here’s what the well-known entrepreneur and promoter of the alcohol and steel industries, Anoop Bishnoi , advises, “…the easiest way to figure this out is by restricting your investments to only the most profitable channels i.e. those showcasing a positive ROI. If needed, trim the fat by cutting down on perks and amenities in workplace as small measures do add up...
