E11 - Defining Culture w/Nearbuy's Ankur Warikoo!
1. Culture is not an enabler of growth. It may not necessarily drive the success of an organisation.
But, it most definitely prevents it from failing, it defines how Companies deal with crisis.

2. Build Culture from Day 1!
If you don't prioritse Culture, it'll build itself.
So, when you do decide to build culture, you wouldn't be building it.
You'd actually be CHANGING it.
And.
It is a very easy to build culture.
It is very difficult to change it!

10. Entrepreneurship is a state of mind. Practice it.
Do you love problems?
Do you spend time with nothing like yourself?
Are you comfortable with people nothing like yourself?
Are you okay with being in a state of chaos?
Reflect, and answer!

10. Greatness is almost always in the People building the product, instead of just the product.
And great people are a result of great culture.
Understand it.
Recognise it.
Envision it.
Implement it.
Build Culture!
