Prof. Sourav Mukherji, OB & HRM Area, addresses, ‘Why has all the excitement and disruption gone out of start-ups?’ on the brand-new business podcast 𝘛𝘸𝘰 𝘣𝘺 𝘛𝘸𝘰, hosted by The Ken. Has the ability of startups to disrupt and cause disruption diminished? Ask Prof. Sourav and Ashish Sinha, Founder, NextBigWhat. The episode delves into factors that have seemingly plagued the joy in starting up. External factors- market size, capital, regulations; or internal – organization structures, leaders, people, emotions and motivations. An unforeseen mix of the two has led the ecosystem to where it is today. “Startups have the fundamental advantage that they can fail very easily”, says Prof. Sourav, chronicling start-up culture. Discussing founder motivations and its impact on success, he added, “If the driving force behind your budding venture is higher valuation and to quickly cash out, then your startup motivations will go through ebbs and flows, since it is premised on liquidity. If you are driven by long-term orientation, you will be forced figure how to sustain your business” 📈 Catch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dSRkWZs9 #IIMB #Startup #StartupNews #StartupJobs #Disruption #VC #VentureCapital
