Khemka, an active advisor for many start-ups, talks about the
importance of having an advisor on-board in an IT start-up. His
experience is driven by running a tech-company – SynapseIndia –
for the past two decades. Speaking about the IT start-ups, he says,
“An IT start-up is no less than a roller coaster ride with much ups
and downs. Having an advisor on-board is the key to understand the
growth of a company.” He further advises a list of fact that a
start-up must remember always -
1. Hire people who can contribute.
2. Plan all goals, be it short-term,
long-term or medium term.
3. Invest your time in meaningful
start-up networking events only.
4. The investment attained must be
properly planned beforehand.
5. Know what works for your start-up
and what does not. Be ready to eliminate that does not suit.
6. Groom your social circle in a way it
defines your start-up perfectly.
