Shamit Khemka – Advises start-up to always have an advisor on-board

Shamit 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.
