1, 2, 3• Hunger – Nothing comes out of you unless you are really craving for

something, believe strongly in something, and want to succeed in a big way. It’s very hard for you to kind of overcome all the hurdles that you will see in the early stages of entrepreneurship. So, hunger is number one for me.

• Self-belief - This is about convincing yourself first before you go out and convince the world in terms of the changes that you want to bring to the world. Entrepreneurship is really just that. You believe in something so strongly that you need to convince the world about your belief. And, if you don’t believe it yourself, it’s going to be very hard for you to get this. Self-belief in my dictionary ranks, therefore, very high.

• Audacity – If you don’t think big, if you don’t really set the world as your playground, you are kind of short-changing yourself. I have seen this time and again; we are only limited by how large, how big we are ready to think. The world is ready to receive you as long as you are ready to think. (Story)
