Ishpreet Singh Gandhi, Founder of Stride Ventures and StrideOne, said on Saturday that to understand the success of businesses and how they will achieve their goals, it’s essential to look at the journey behind them. “What makes founders unique is the journey itself — the ideas they have and the kind of people they bring on board,” he added.

He said this while speaking at the ABP Network Ideas of India Summit in a session titled ‘‘Mining the Future Start-ups, Demographic Dividend, and Sustainability’.

Anurag Kedia, Co-founder of Pilgrim, highlighted the importance of execution in building a successful start-up, stating, "Execution is more important than ideas because ideas are constantly evolving. As you start working, engage with consumers, and interact with industry experts, you learn valuable insights. Over time, as you progress, you refine your processes. Having the agility and willingness to do what's best for your customers will open up many opportunities."

He added, "I believe the timing has never been better to start your own business. I think if someone wants to start their business they should just go for it instead of sitting and analysing the opportunities.”

Building on Kedia's point, Sneh R Vaswani, Co-Founder and CEO of Miko, stressed that while the idea is important in the beginning, execution ultimately plays a more crucial role as a business progresses. 

He highlighted that at a certain stage, it is the effective implementation of the idea, coupled with continuous improvement and adaptability, that makes all the difference in achieving long-term success.
