WHAT I LEARNT
FROM
FROM
MY COMPETITOR(7)
“Vikram Talwar Taught me the
Benefits of Delayed Gratification“
Sanjeev Aggarwal, Cofounder, Helion Ventures
CLAIM TO FAME: A pioneer in
the BPO sector, Aggarwal founded Daksh in 2000 before IBM acquired it four
years later; currently on board of new-age firms like Azure Power, ShopClues
and BigBasket THE LESSON: There are three lessons I would want to mention that
I learnt during my Daksh days from my competitors. The first one was from
Vikram Talwar, founder of EXL Service. I learnt resilience from him. They had
faced many near-death experiences, delayed gratification and yet they kept on
building their company, without copping out like us. (Aggarwal sold his company
Daksh to IBM). The second lesson was from Neeraj Bhargava of WNS Holdings.
While Daksh was built on organic growth, Neeraj taught me how inorganic growth
can be used as a lever to build a successful company. The third lesson I
learned was from Raman Roy of the BPO Spectramind. He taught me how one could
leverage one's communication skills to build a great brand. He made me realise
the role that communication plays in building credibility among employees,
clients and the external world.
