One of the prime objectives of the World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC) is “to energize the Zarathushti Spirit of Entrepreneurship and Professionalism by facilitating and mentoring Start-ups to implement their ideas. A Business Advisory Committee (BAC) formed within WZCC works under a clearly defined Policy and Procedure, to recommend funding for Start-ups and young Entrepreneurs and Professionals with unique or innovative business ideas. As of now six Start-ups have benefitted by growing their business successfully under challenging times.
The success of an entrepreneur depends upon the strategy developed to derive competitive advantages and overcome changes in the business environment. Exemplifying the term is Pheroze Kharas, author of ‘Learning to Succeed’, published by WZCC. Former Sr. Executive at Union Carbide India Ltd. and later a Promoter/MD and Chairman at Ecoplast Ltd., he shares his entrepreneurial experience.
Every Organization has to get results through and with people – the Science of Management. The first half of the book is about the four management functions – Planning, Organizing, Leading and Control while the latter half focuses on applying this information to business success. The chapter – ‘Preparation of a Business Plan’ shares essential information to help secure funding for businesses.
In his review of the book, ‘Learning to Succeed’, author, corporate advisor and former Director, Tata Sons – R. Gopalakrishnan writes, “If start-ups are one side of the coin representing new-generation business, then grown-ups are the other side of the same coin. The physical, psychological, and emotional connection between start-ups and grown-ups is important to the economy and to society. Start-ups and grown-ups are connected delicately, a bit like the delicate corpus callosum that connects the right and the left parts of the human brain.
Pheroze Kharas has written a practical and slim book on how to imagine, plan for and set up a new business. It is a step-by-step guide for emerging and aspiring entrepreneurs. Young people should take up the benefit of the lessons of experience that Pheroze Kharas has taken the trouble to write up. He is clearly hugely motivated—in their eighties, few experienced people would undertake such an onerous task as he has done. Pheroze’s book will stay un-thumbed and smelling fresh if there is no spark of entrepreneurship among the young people. His book can be the fuel that can light up a forest fire of entrepreneurship, provided the spark is there. Entrepreneurial readers must feel inspired by entrepreneurship—in the tradition of Dadabhai Naoroji, Jamsetji Tata, Ardeshir and Pirojsha Godrej.”
‘Learning to Succeed’ brings great value to young entrepreneurs/professionals, by ensuring that their idea is worth converting into a Business Plan and developing an organization that drives business success, applying the Science of Management. Budding Entrepreneurs and Professionals can approach WZCC for advice or mentoring. [www.wzcc.org]
