Episode description

In this episode, I was very lucky to interview the fantastic Manoj Sinha, Co-founder of BISIL and my flight instructor!

Manoj reflects on his entrepreneurial journey that began in 1990. Starting with a background in engineering and an MBA from a top-tier school, Manoj worked in esteemed companies like ITC Limited before founding BISIL. Despite the challenging initial timing of the Gulf War, Manoj emphasizes the cyclical nature of business and recounts the various booms and busts he navigated, including the dot-com era, the 2008 financial crisis, and the recent pandemic.

Manoj also shares insights on resilience, emphasizing the importance of attitude and outlook as he discusses the evolution of BISIL, having weathered multiple cycles by launching and iterating on technology products. Manoj stresses the significance of learning from mistakes, maintaining a broad perspective in business, and recognizing that challenges are often a chain of errors rather than a single catastrophic event.
