He is an expert when it comes to presentations, and is someone who built himself step by step. A master in communication, he conducts communication skills workshops at a global level that he was invited to Chennai as one of the speakers for a major event. He also has a lot of experience working with the startups. He is someone the young entrepreneurs look up to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pawan Gupta\u2019s Journey As A Communication Skills Trainer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pawan Gupta was an engineering graduate who then took up management studies. There, he had to make and deliver presentations, and he was extremely poor at it. Even though he knew what he had to say, he always stammered. To overcome this fear and pressure, he read up on things, took classes and kept on practicing to improve his communication skills. The poor student thus gradually became the strong teacher. He started delivering workshops and classes to those students who had similar issues as he faced. He could easily relate to the difficulties told by the students, and helped them come out of it. He eventually even came up with a book called \u201cTalk to Convince\u201d. \u201cWarren Buffet himself has said if you learn how to communicate effectively, I guarantee you will make 50 per cent more money in your lifetime.\u201d says Pawan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pawan\u2019s Experience With The Startups<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pawan was associated with four startups which were based on managing documents, trade-show management, networking and so on. Apart from his close connections with these few startups, he is also involved in mentoring the young entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pawan\u2019s Take On Startups<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Pawan, startups sometimes flourish and sometimes perish. He thinks it is a great time to come up with a startup right now in India as things are very favorable right now. He thinks the support from government and angel investors have made the penetration of startup culture in India successful. \u201cInvestors are interested in two things only \u2013 how much money they will make, and how much risk they are taking. For money, it\u2019s about how big the market is, and how it can be captured. For managing risks, it\u2019s about the management \u2013 whether it\u2019s a solid team or are they going to take the money and sink It.\u201d says Pawan. Pawan feels it is okay to approach the investor with or without the prototype, a lot usually works on the way one can develop your contacts and networking. Startup, how much ever exciting it sounds, it also comes up with a lot of responsibilities and risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pawan Gupta is a legendary example of someone who made something new out of the need.
