As you all know, an entrepreneur’s journey is never a smooth ride. When faced with challenges, one needs to dig deep inside to find the strength and the courage to carry on and fight. But this ability to persevere against all odds and find the strength inside, when you need it the most becomes possible when you have good mentors and learn from them. Mr.Venkatesh have been blessed with a large network of friends, authors, entrepreneurs, celebrities, trainers and many others who have shared their story or learnings with him.
He realise that in this journey of life, sharing experiences and learning from each other is invaluable and essential.
Over the years, he have kept in touch with his school and college friends, many of them are now successful people in their own fields. He have made many new friends during his work and through his social service stints. He have connected people to others. He have brought celebrity speakers for school, college and corporate functions so the function becomes more interesting and the audience get a glimpse of the celebrity and get to peek into the secrets behind their success and fame. All this he did purely to help his friends and acquaintances and to add value to their function. Since it was such a great hit and many of those he helped asked him to do it again and again and do it as a business that he realised that it`s time to get into Celebrity Management.
This year he launched the Celebrity Management Division of Innovative Services and have already completed 200 assignments. The organisers are happy. The audiences are thrilled. The speakers are happy. And he have found his calling in life.
This is what he is going to focus on. He is going to help the world benefit from the experience and the stories behind the success of celebrities.
His credo is: The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark - Michelangelo
