Bangalore, Aug 07: Calling upon young entrepreneurs not to get disheartened in losing, Wipro chairman Azim Premji said entrepreneurs should rather learn lessons from it.
Addressing students and alumni of Stanford University at the first ever alumni meet held in India here last night, Premji, a noted alumni, said, "Don't lose the lesson... There are lessons to be learnt in losing."
The infotech czar, who earlier interacted with about 30 students and faculty from Stanford at the Wipro campus in the city, said successful leaders learn to lose and enjoy to win. Pointing out that excellence differentiated successful entrepreneurs and `intrepreneurs' (who succeed in corporations and society) from non-successful people, Premji said the successful people were wedded to "fanaticism for excellence".
He said entrepreneurs and intrepreneurs often needed to change and quite often to changing business and social environment, without compromising on values. "I hope, I have given some advice which is useful for you," Premji told the over 80 alumni, students and faculty from Stanford.
In his message, Stanford University president John L Hennessy said the alumni represented the "vital proof of Silicon Valley" influence in the "high technology entrepreneurial" activity in India.
India sends the third largest number of international students to Stanford after China and South Korea, he said. Bureau Report
