Entrepreneurs come from different walks of life. They span every industry, product type and culture. While they may have a lot of things that aren’t in common, they have some important life lessons to offer. Today, we bring you five life lessons from five entrepreneurs which could definitely impact your life.
1. Learn from your failures: Elon Musk
Perhaps the most important life lesson to learn from our entrepreneurs is to never give up on your dreams. Elon Musk teaches us that it is vital to make mistakes and learn from them so you make the right choices after. In fact, your failures should not become the bench mark for your future decisions.
2. Make calculated decisions: Bill Gates
While taking risks is a good thing, it is important to take calculated risks. Do not let your emotions take over your decisions and make sure whatever you do, does not come back to bite you in the back. Bill Gates believes in this principle and if he didn’t, we would not have Microsoft now.
3. Learn to work with others: Sir Richard Branson
It is a common misconception that entrepreneurs do not work well alone. Work with people. Interact with people. Thoughts only come once you learn from the other person and what better way to learn than from the people around you?
4. Give something back: Blake Mycoskie
Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS, the company that believes in giving back a pair of shoes to underprivileged children every time a pair sells. This policy works because not only are you giving back to society, you are also enticing people into doing the right thing.
5. Believe in yourself: Larry Page
As cliched as it may sound, this is perhaps the most important life lesson you could learn from Larry Page. Do not hold yourself back because if Larry Page had, then we would not have Google today!

MobiKwik is venturing into the stock broking sector with the launch of its subsidiary, MobiKwik Securities Broking Private Limited (MSBPL), following approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on March 3, 2025. This move aims to diversify MobiKwik’s offerings beyond its core digital payments services and compete with established players like Zerodha and Groww.
MSBPL will provide a range of brokerage services, including trading in shares, securities, commodities, and derivatives. The subsidiary has an initial capital of Rs 1 lakh, with plans for an additional Rs 2 crore investment to support its operations.
As MobiKwik enters this competitive market, it brings a substantial user base of 172 million and a merchant network of 5 million. Despite recent financial challenges, including a reported loss of Rs 55.2 crore in Q3 FY25, the company aims to leverage its existing infrastructure and user engagement to capture a share of the growing investment technology market, projected to reach $74 billion by 2030.
This strategic expansion aligns with MobiKwik’s broader goals of enhancing its financial service
Nazara Technologies has sold its entire 71.54% stake in Sports Unity Private Limited, the company behind the multiplayer quiz game ‘Qunami’, for INR 7.15 lakh. This divestment, effective March 25, 2025, signifies a strategic shift for Nazara, which had previously acquired a controlling interest in Sports Unity in 2019 for INR 7.5 crore.
The decision to offload the stake comes as Sports Unity has faced financial difficulties, reporting no active business operations and a negative net worth of INR 0.45 crore at the end of FY24. This move aligns with Nazara’s broader strategy to streamline its operations and concentrate on more profitable ventures within the gaming sector.
This sale follows Nazara’s recent divestment of a 94.85% stake in another subsidiary, Open Play, to Moonshine Technologies for INR 104.33 crore. Despite reporting record quarterly revenue of INR 544.7 crore in Q3 FY25, Nazara experienced a 53.5% decline in net profit year-over-year.
Nazara continues to focus on enhancing its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and investments in high-potential gaming platforms while navigating the competitive landscape of the gaming industry.
