Ritesh Agarwal on startup success: ‘Tough days will test you, but values will see you through’

Ritesh Agarwal, who built Ook’s construction for almost decades and plans to come to the coming years, reflects the challenges of launching. He stressed that before success can come quickly, lasting endurance depends on the basic values.

“There will be good days and there will be hard days. Which will allow you to turn the hard days, your value system, “he said.

There are three principles for Agarwal this basis. The first is transparency – providing trust in all stakeholders. “I have always tried to ensure that the early days, a month, and when the company became much larger, quarterly updates, plank meetings and it is possible to provide high levels of high levels.”

Out of transparency, he stressed the importance of real involvement with stakeholders. “It is necessary to try and not only the letter, but also the spirit of labor conversations with your stakeholders. I think that’s helped me a lot. “

Listening to customers and partners is another pillar of his leadership approach. Remembering the Challenge Stage 2019 “I gave the ownership a month, when I can hear from our hotel owners and continue to improve. So it’s not like every time everything will be okay, but you have to learn and continue to improve. “

The final principle he noted is thoroughly behind. “Remember that you are the beneficiary of the ship, but not the ship’s owner … even if you go hook.

He also outlined the values ​​of the four main company. Respect, trust, flexibility and bias for action. “Respect, no matter who you are. Our company and I respect you. The second is trust. We are constantly trying to give confidence and receive confidence. Health – We never give up. And the last one is biased for action. “

Agarwal’s philosophy emphasizes the idea that beginners are simply not built to succeed in achieving rapidly, but in the test of time.
