  • Sukhmani Bedi (Ex IMF, Philips Deloitte, INSEAD, Cambridge, 3X Entrepreneur) chose economics in Delhi University because that was a comfortable option available to her at the time.

    As she shares with us in this easy conversation, across the 14 years of her work experience, she's dabbled in public policy, marketing, consulting, and founded 3 companies. Also recently, she's just joined a VC fund.
    Sukhmani spent her college years doing time pass and learning Spanish.
    Wanting to do something in the development sector, Sukhmani was not sure what path her career would take.
    In this conversation, she shares her journey from Cambridge University to working with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
    She tells us how she then worked in consulting for sometime, as an analyst at Deloitte.
    Having written the GMAT, Sukhmani then went on to INSEAD to pursue a 1-year MBA and work with Philips. Finally, realising her interest did not lie with a drab job, and wanting to get into the business side of things, Sukhmani decided to start-up on her own.
    She elaborates the story of her first start-up BetterButter. She tells us how it was founded, the insight behind her company and how they chose to exit and sell the business/ app to found something new.
    Next, she shares how she worked on Zopnik, a social networking, marketing platform. Finally, we learn of her third venture, where she faced negative feedback from investors.
    Today working with Orion Venture Partners, Sukhmani's easy attitude to life and work is reflected
    in her decisions and achievements. Some highlights of the conversation:
    •We tell ourselves these stories that I can’t give up; I can’t quit.
    •When you realize that you are not satisfied with your current job, situation, etc., don’t ignore it. Pay attention and move on.
    •How to begin a start-up: Solve a real problem with a product or service.
    •Recipe for a successful app: Find a problem and solve it with your offering, promote it online to relevant users and communities, and tie up with brands to monetize your app.
    •Your most valuable currency is your time.

    Didn't learn much from this talk
    Seems like sukhmani was just lucky every time, got into IMF by luck, did GMAT cleared, got into INSEAD.
    Personality I prefer talks in which person tells how he thought & take his like decisions.
    Her attitude is mostly like "bas ho gaya", "easy tha", "socha ye karlu" etc etc. Where is ur decision making in thiss.
    Either she is just luck or she doesn't want to reveal or she is too arrogant like everything is too easy for her.

    The comments that are being critical of this talk are clearly not appreciating how candid, humble and honest Sukhmani is being about her experience and accomplishments. It is refreshing to hear speakers who show that life and success dont have a copy paste formula.
    Her admitting the role of luck in her life is actually showing how honest she is. But luck can only take you so far - and its obvious she has had to work hard every step of the way and had a positive attitude through challenges. I am taking away from this talk that one should always look for opportunities to grow and learn, and most importantly be brave enough to pursue new paths. Thanks for doing this talk Sukhmani!

    It easy to say that MBA doesn't matter , pls speak with those people who are just suffering because they don't have MBA. It is the similar case to Bollywood star kid. It is not guaranteed that only a star kid succeeds in Bollywood but everyone knows, how their parent's connection matters and how much chance they get as compared to other people. Everyone is not Mark Zuckerberg and Narendra Modi who become successful without degrees and backgrounds.

    With No Disrespect to the speaker, of course is an achiever in her life, the idea of belittling MBAs on CV is not appreciated.
    Indeed times have changed, but even start ups in middle stage hire STEM degree holders for junior positions.
    In my opinion, getting an MBA from an elite school or equivalent gives you a head-start in career, bridges the gap between the candidate and potential employers.
    This conversation sounded more like an autobiography, which is impressive but not the one I would buy. Thanks
