Success Mantra
There is no such thing as failure, it is only the experience. It is the thing that makes us good at doing something. He started thinking about the problems when he was just 8 years old. And then he involved himself in finding the solutions to solve these problems at such a young age.
While other kids of his age admire Sachin, Dhoni, and Shahrukh, Kunal Chandiramani admires and gets inspired by Jeff Basso, Nick Bostrom, and Elon Musk and for sure our own missile man, APJ Abdul Kalam. According to Kunal, motivation comes from questioning everything, just being curious and feel free to ask how, why and ask questions.
“Don’t look for motivation outside, look for motivation inside. Because when the motivation inside is zero even if the motivation outside is hundred, zero multiplies with hundred becomes zero. But when the motivation inside is two and motivation outside is hundred, two multiplied by fifty, it becomes hundred.”
He believes that there is no age to start a start-up or to become an entrepreneur, whenever you feel like there’s a problem which needs to be solved, and you think you can solve, just go for it. A young age is the perfect incubating time for almost all kinds of startups.
As you have a kind of financial support from your parents. And a failure at this level is something more like a well-structured experience for the upcoming arena. He also insists to share your ideas with not only prospective clients but also with someone who has no idea at all to get insights about how he/she perceives it. Because if you can explain something to a complete newbie then, you know what you are chasing, you know what you want to deliver.
