Don’t Startup
By Karthik Kumar
Money is seldom the reason why people don’t start businesses – fear of money is.
Failures will far outnumber successes. Make failure a friend. Become familiar with it – know how to look it in the eye and find out more about it.
People do business with people they like and are familiar with. To most people, YOU are the business. There is no good or bad investor; there are only right or wrong investors.
What makes an entrepreneur special is the bridge of intelligence between the left and the right brain, the bridge between Business and Art. Through this never-before-seen side of entrepreneurship, Karthik Kumar explores the various emotional challenges an entrepreneur’s faces and also tells you how to overcome them. Don’t Startup is not about giving you the knowledge and the know-how of starting up. It is about imparting the wisdom that Karthik has gained from his Evam journey and how that wisdom will be the strength in yours. Click to read more.

Are We Leading?
Kaushik Mahapatra
It is designed for those who are on the journey of personal discovery and who get a constant feeling that they are not doing enough or they are not good enough. This book will completely change the way you view your life and the world around you, as you would be in a leading mode and can take charge of your own personal and professional life no matter what phase of life you are in. It’s an easy-to-read book and recommended for anyone who would like to take some simple steps towards achieving greater success and happiness by simply getting into a leading mindset.
So far, we largely associate leadership with professional adults who are in executive management roles in politics, government or business. In fact, we have always treated leadership as something which is bigger than us and beyond us. However, anyone can be a leader – both personally and professionally. It’s about doing those small things which can influence you or people around you, and it can be simply attained by consistently improvising on whatever we have been doing which finally would lead us to excellence. So, keep leading and elevate your life.
