Indian cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines in the world and has a wide variety to treat the taste buds. However, being extremely rich in taste, culture, and heritage, it somewhere failed to make its mark like many other popular Western food chains. And this is exactly what triggered Vishal Jindal, and he created India’s one of the most successful food startups. Hailing from IIT-BHU, Vishal Jindal was always interested in consumer businesses and especially F&B businesses and had experience in IT, hedge funds, and private equity. So, why only Biryani? Well, it is evident that biryani holds the souls of most Indians, but that’s not the only reason why Vishal chose biryani over other food items. In the candid interview with Rahul Nainwal, Jindal spills the beans on choosing the Biryani for the food venture, how he built BBK, and shares his insights on effective leadership. Vishal Jindal quotes the following key things on effective leadership ?Leaders must lead by example and should avoid politics within the organization. It is very important to value meritocracy and reward it. Independent thinking and resourcefulness are very significant factors. People must follow their instincts and view failure as valuable teachers.While it's an excellent time to take risks at a young age, people should be cautious against pushing too hard. If starting a business does not feel natural, then work professionally for a few years to gain skills and develop a passion in the field you want to start your business. I'll encourage people to be more generous with co-founders and to leave more goodwill on the table because these things are for the very long term. If you're generous with your co-founders, then a start-up goes a long way.
