Startups Guide to Managing Strategy, Execution and Governance

Description:  Startups Guide to managing Strategy, execution and Governance

About The Book

In the last couple of decades, we have witnessed the emergence of a plethora of Startups in India and abroad. These Startups have incubated novel ideas, some of which were transformed into profitable business ventures in the later years. Some of these successful Startups attracted significant funding from Venture capital funds and large corporates in India and abroad. At the same time, some of these Startups failed to develop those brilliant ideas into successful businesses owing to a lack of focus and investment in developing the fundamental building blocks required to build an organization.

With my experience of setting up and working for a few Startups in India and abroad, I felt the need of articulating the critical success factors for a successful Start-up. This required the identification of building blocks needed to set up a strong edifice, which can help withstand the vagaries of the uncharted territories that may hit a Start-up at any point in time. Also, the pandemic and the current geopolitical turmoil have brought huge external uncertainties to the business environment, which every Start-up business needs to weather and thrive on for sustenance and growth.

Key Features:

Accordingly, I have made an attempt to come up with this body of work which has been developed as a step-by-step guide on setting up and managing Start-ups and unfolds as follows:
