How do you pursue a Career in Entrepreneurship?


Career in Entrepreneurship

A Career in Entrepreneurship has always intrigued me. For me understanding Why I want to choose a Career in Entrepreneurship is phenomenally more important than figuring out How to get into Entrepreneurship. While I was searching for reliable information about a Career in Entrepreneurship, I came across this amazing page: https://www.lifepage.in/career/20161101-0001/Commerce/Hospitality Entrepreneurship/Career-in-Entrepreneurship/english 

Alka Kukreti's take!

Alka Kukreti invested 5 years & 2 months in Entrepreneurship. Alka Kukreti has worked in Entrepreneurship as Co-Founder in Cafe Marigold, Dehradun. In Alka Kukreti's own words, this is how Alka Kukreti got into Entrepreneurship: "Until 2010 I was a home maker. It was only after my son went to abroad and felt the void in my life and decided something to keep my self busy. So with two of my other friends I setup Café Marigold in 2011." 

Career Video on Entrepreneurship

In a video, Alka Kukreti has talked about various aspects of a Career in Entrepreneurship. Alka Kukreti started by explaining Entrepreneurship as: "Entrepreneurship is the starting of a new business or coming up with a new idea, implementing it and making it grow." I watched the full video and I absolutely loved it.


I found the video unique because it talked about Education in terms of things which can be learnt from books, to excel at a Career in Entrepreneurship and not as a list of Qualifications, which one needs to get into Entrepreneurship. Alka Kukreti touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:

  • Operation Management
  • Marketing
  • Finance
  • Contextual Knowledge

Skills are the most important factor determining success in a particular Career.
Alka Kukreti then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Entrepreneurship:

  • Passion
  • Handle Crisis Situation
  • Quality Control
  • People Skill

Positives of this Career are quite interesting.
Alka Kukreti believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Entrepreneurship:

  • Purpose
  • Monetary Potential
  • Creating Employment
  • Recognition

After a discussion on Positives, Challenges complete the caricature of a Career.
And, Alka Kukreti believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Entrepreneurship:

  • Gender Bias
  • Industry Malpractices
  • Cut Throat Competition
  • Societal Evils


In the final section of the video Alka Kukreti talks about How a day goes in a Career in Entrepreneurship. This video is by far the best video on a Career in Entrepreneurship, that I have ever come across.
