– Dreams that see the most beautiful realization, are never about a
billion dollar valuation; they are always about a billion dollar value
system. At the heart of any success story are four pillars, structure,
systems, strategy and process. It is always a visionary and a
entrepreneur’s ability to use these four pillars in setting up a
timeless success story . The structure is important because it lends
stability to the start up. A system, at the same time, plays a very
important role to provide the discipline and four walls of a primary
task, strategy adds the most important angle of speedy innovation that
any start up needs for scaling up and processes glue all of the above in
a form that there is harmony and integrity when all the pillars
co-exist.
Being what you
are, believing inwhat you can do, with the hope that it will all be given up
for a good cause were the fundamental emotions that I used to bank on when I
started this journey and hold on to these till date, just as close.
There has always
been a difference between where I wanted to be, how I wanted to be and what
happened to it after I was long gone. During the course of my journey as an
entrepreneur, I mentored many bright and smart young people which went on to
lay the foundations of a very strong team who were very clear from the
beginning about why they were a team and what was the difference between their
mission, vision and primary task. They also knew that targets, vision, change
with time, change with achievements, change with changes that come along the
road but the primary task of the mentor and his team always remains the same
and that is how we were wedded as a team to ensure that our existence was
because our primary task and which came about to be known as – “SMILE with
SCIENCE”.
Rolling out the
above was crazy , but as Steve Jobs said: “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits, the rebels. The troublemakers. The
round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're
not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify
them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change
things. They push the human race forward,and while some may see them as the
crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that
they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
At SRISOL, our existence has been
synonymous with novel innovations, cost effective manufacturing, environment

When
you are young, Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's
life. One should neverallow one to be trapped by dogma — which is living with
the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your
heart and intuition. A entrepreneur already know’s what they truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary. This is what is a true entrepreneurial spirit
that I nurtured in quest for being a crazy black sheep in the family who wanted
to go out and change his world through manufacturing of speciality chemicals
after chucking away his well paid job with fortune 50 brands.
This
journey has not been one without many storms that came in the way, and it is
these storms that teach you a lot. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it
through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm
is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you
won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Competing and Beating fortune 50 companies via manufacturing
of products was not a easy ride if we did not
believe in being hungry and
foolish – As we discovered later this was also a fundamental success mantra’s
of the master Steve Jobs as we connect the dots . The Whole Earth Catalogue was
a popular publication started by Stewart Brand in Menlo Park in Silicon Valley
in 1940s. Its poetic pinch made it a bible for kids growing up in the valley in
1950’s and 1960’s. The last publication of the The Whole Earth Catalog, was in
the mid- 1970s. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an
early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if
you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay
Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry
& Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself.” This was the
legends inspiration and this has been the group’s inspiration so far– From the
brand whose motto is “SMILE WITH SCIENCE” – welcome to – WWW.SRISOL.COM
