“As a founder, it is a very lonely journey.” These words from Uday Kotak perfectly describe what entrepreneurship feels like. In 1985, Kotak started with just three employees in a small office and a big dream. Over time, he built Kotak Mahindra Bank, one of India’s most successful financial institutions. Most businesses struggle to succeed in one market. But Kotak took on the competitive world of finance and created a giant that serves millions. However, he admitted that the journey wasn’t easy. Leadership meant making sacrifices and often feeling isolated. But for Kotak, this solitude was part of building something extraordinary. His story shows aspiring entrepreneurs that while the path may be hard and lonely. But staying focused on your vision can lead to incredible success.

The most insecure, lonely and sad founder who always needs to remind himself that he is alpha and better than others every two days. Jerkish behaviour at its peak. If you label your friends and grade them you’re a failed human being.
