  • 'Boardroom Badshah' Shahrukh Khan is on the cover of Entrepreneur’s third anniversary special issue.

    ‘Entrepreneur’ celebrates 3 years

    By A Correspondent

     

    Monthly magazine Entrepreneur has completed three years in India with its anniversary special issue now available on the stands across the country. Entrepreneur’s 36th issue includes a mix of stories and voices, which captures the essence of the Indian enterprise – from blue-chip companies including family-owned businesses, small and medium enterprises to start-ups.

     

    On the cover story of the issue is a man who is thought of mostly as an actor and entertainer, but does a lot more when the spotlight is not on him. Shahrukh Khan has followed his instinct and his passion to build a business group that covers sports, films and more with his business philosophy. Entrepreneur’s story looks at how Khan, with his very own brand of management style, has made his top team function virtually like co-owners, taking each of the businesses he runs to success.

     

    The special issue is also loaded with a lineup of 12 of India’s biggest business leaders – the likes of Kumar Mangalam Birla, Adi Godrej, NR Narayana Murthy, Malvinder Singh, and K Anji Reddy – who have spelled out their predictions for India, its economic landscape and challenges, and what it would take for entrepreneurs to succeed to the year 2015.

     

    The issue also features a parting note from Kaushik Basu, India’s chief economic advisor for the last three years, as he recounts his successes and failures, and a look at the three Nair sisters – the third generation of the Leela Group of hotels – and how they are taking the homegrown hotel brand into the next stage of its growth.

     

    Entrepreneur Editor-in-chief Sourav Majumdar said, “Entrepreneur has always sought to be a catalyst in the exciting entrepreneurial ecosystem in India, providing credible information and trends to arm our readers with. In our 3rd Anniversary special issue, we have sought to present to our readers the best thoughts, trends and stories which encapsulate the best of the Indian entrepreneurial spirit. It is also a time when we renew our resolve to be the business owner’s magazine of choice.”

     

    Sandeep Khosla, CEO, Network18 Publishing commented “When we launched Entrepreneur in India, we were focused at providing a magazine which is fully dedicated to the needs of the Indian business owners. Witnessing the magazine’s growth in the last three years, we are convinced that Entrepreneur has remained true to its spirit, continuously facilitating entrepreneurship across industry sectors.”
