Thinking of entrepreneurship? How do you take that leap of faith?
If you manage to jump, how do you thrive as an entrepreneur?
We discuss this with Telco founder Rameez Ansar. Rameez is the Co-Founder of Circles.Life, one of the most successful companies in South East Asia and a leading one in the Telco space. Despite a stellar career with the Boston Consulting Group and Temasek, an MBA from Harvard Business School, Rameez took the leap of faith into entrepreneurship back in 2010 when there was limited start-up activity in Singapore.
After a few ups and downs, he Co-Founded Circles.Life in 2014 in an industry that was monopolised by the traditional giants. Today Cirlces.Life has grown to 16 countries with 800 people spread across Asia, Europe and the US. It’s routinely voted one of the best companies to work in. Investors in Circles include the most prestigious in the world - Sequoia Capital and Warburg Pincus. Recently there was also news of Peter Thiel’s investment vehicle being in discussion with them for a potential multi billion dollar listing.
In our conversation we talk about
- The initial motivation to take the leap of faith
- How does this differs from the enduring motivation to thrive
- Role of risk and analysis
- The inner voice - how to get it to work for you
- Peer comparisons and other demons
And a lot more
