One must try to find humour in failure and bounce back stronger

“Businesses are all about uncertainties and despite one’s best efforts, one may meet failures and adversities. In such conditions, an entrepreneur should face tragedy with some sense of humour. One must learn to laugh at one's failures and then bounce back stronger, wiser,” said Mr. Anwar Daud, CEO-MD, ZIM Laboratories. He made the statement while addressing the gathering at Vidarbha Management Association’s Sunday talk at Chitnavis Centre recently.

ZIM Laboratories was started by Mr. Anwar Daud in 1989 in Kalmeshwar. Over the years, the company has grown steadily and extended its operations across continents. Mr. Anwar Daud stressed on the need to innovate, irrespective of the industry. “Research and Development lies at the heart of the growth ZIM has seen over the years. We always made sure we were continuously innovating,” he added. Talking about entrepreneurial excellence, Mr Daud insisted on getting small things done right the first time. He advised entrepreneurs to focus on simplifying things for efficient and productive operations.
