JOIN USKapil Singhvi is an entrepreneur turned author, who firmly believes that he has the formula to inspire other young people to achieve great things through his book Insfire to win. No that is not a typo in the title. For those who do not get it in the first go, Kapil has coined his buzzword all by himself using two words — ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Fire’.
The aim of the book is to ‘insfire’ other young people who hold regular jobs to get creative, take the entrepreneurial plunge and become RICH. Kapil uses this four letter word quite freely and says that he himself has been highly successful at running three businesses and managing to write a book without having to give up one for the other.
The book has a self help manual kind of layout and each chapter is prefaced by a proverb, saying or a quotation. The first chapter ‘Believe in Yourself’ is supported by ‘Even God believes in a person who believes in himself ’. Self explanatory. That pretty much sets the tone of the rest of the book with pop quizzes and multiple choices filling up the spaces between anecdotes and tips on how to sustain your climb to the top.
Chenraj Jain, chairman of the Jain Group of Institutions launched the book and spoke at considerable length about his community, and the need for his community in particular to come together and become more proactive and visible on the educational scene.
‘‘I was an eighth standard dropout myself and now I head a group of institutions that has over 26,000 students under its umbrella. My community raised six crore for me to start with but I, in turn, generated Rs 600 crore,” he emphasised. He also spoke about the author’s father’s reluctance to admit his son to Jain College because of its ‘lack of reputation’ and stressed the point several times in his speech.
“I am a twenty-five-year-old, who has managed to write a book while running a company Brain Work Consulting which trains corporates, runs a fast-food business and a printing press.
Read my book and you will get inspired to become a decisive, creative entrepreneur too and have the formula of success at your finger tips-literally,” he added.
