Once during a press conference one of the reporters asked Anil Ambani “Is there any business where Ambanis have tried their hand and had not been successful?" on his Anil Ambani Replied yes and asked them to make a guess.
Make a Guess.
When none were able to make the right guess he disclosed - Print Media. During the height of Indian Express War against Reliance they tried to launch their own daily 'Observer' to counter attack by Goenka and team. However it never took off and Anil Ambani was gallant enough to admit it.
So how did I beat them? Well....My I-magazine within first month of launch has become self sustaining. I received a cheque of Rs. 275000 as adv. booking for the next issue which means a profit margin of almost 50%!! Beaten them at it, Right??
Jokes apart, it feels great. One real business venture I undertook and it is into profits. By the time I leave the institution there would be a reserve of few lakhs in the publication fund. The whole I-magazine episode is now not only a great learning experience but also a great confidence booster.

Its great to see yr confidence for it truly reflects yr capacity.And as far as your comparison with the AMBANIS is concerned .....Don't forget that compared to a grownup person every baby is a genius. Think of the capacity to learn! The freshness, the temperament, the will of a baby a few months old! .best of luck.
