What would shape India? I guess it would be set of aspirations.
Reading an article about the scene on emerging entrepreneurship in India got me wondering about the budding entrepreneurs. And on second thought, thought may be if individuals can learn something from it.
It was their aspirations that I found curious and funny. Funny because size mattered so much!
The aspirations were simple and numerical, and therefore clear cut. As in, a real estate developer wanted to be among the top 3 in the industry by 2013.
Even more clearer was that of an infrastructure company that wanted to be in the $10 billion dollar group.
A multiplex entrepreneur wanted to have a multiplex in every district of the country. I found this particularly interesting!
But, I am sure the one that would come closest to our heart would be an aspiration of an old businessman who wanted a one lakh rupee car!
And there would be many more aspirations tuned to these aspirations. (How many can be among the top three?)
And yes, we may want all of this. Homes, schools, roads, hospitals, multiplexes, cars etc.
But it also amazes me how these aspirations would shape our lives. And probably when we look into the mirror, we would see these aspirations.
