Description

Acharya Prashant explains that true entrepreneurship is not merely about shifting from a salary to collecting larger profits or escaping the humiliation of a boss to humiliate others. He argues that if entrepreneurship is driven by the same old tendencies of greed, insecurity, ambition, and jealousy, then nothing has fundamentally changed; it is simply the same destructive behavior on a larger scale. He warns that many entrepreneurial ventures today are responsible for global crises like climate change and biodiversity loss because the motive at their inception was personal aggrandizement rather than wisdom.
