My conclusions regarding facing a difficult situation:Careful assimilation of facts related to a problem and their analysis is a must. A problem today could turn into an opportunity tomorrow in case one is not bogged down with depression and no action.
Vinod MalikI will discuss a specific case here when I had ventured into a career change — involving shift from a well-paid job into establishing a Business venture of my own. Selection of the line of Business was made considering my Engineering background as also a feeling of comfort in venturing into areas I was most familiar with. Being an Engineer, I started a development workshop for small components for the Tractor Industry as well as Import substitution of machinery spares for the Wool combing and Process machinery companies. My introduction into possible outlets for selling these was easy but small component’s development took complete toll of my funds availability. Buyers were many and the trap into achieving challenging developments left a hole in my pocket.
I decided to take part in an initial commercialization of a new business and had a lot to say about the course of action.
My first foray into a role and how I succeeded was a huge success. We entered the company with a total of 2 teams, one of which were responsible of managing the manufacturing side of the business of the company to support new clients. Before I started selling the bulk of the time on the manufacturing side, I would say I was an extremely effective Sales Representative in a lot of locations. From a customer and general sales perspective, we did our very best to manage our work and work-from-the-ground-up. I always had the benefit of a lot of friends, colleagues, and customers that made up an extremely talented team of people. However, the amount of time I spent with all these people in my experience was far too little and I was really enjoying it so much.
A new business got started and it is in close collaboration with you, our first partner.
We are working on an investment of USD 300,000 to purchase new tools and materials for our product line, which we will launch in 2017. The new product line is expected to cost in excess of USD 300 lakh, of which USD 250 lakh would be received through our initial investment in that line of business (and USD 100 million into the Business Fund), an effective investment which is more than USD 3 billion USD as compared to our initial investment. Our long term investments in it will be 100 million Euros and over 3 billion Euros as compared to our initial portfolio of US$ 400 million USD, the maximum amount of USD 300 million I will be able to invest in it to keep the business going for my employees to continue to benefit the entire team for the long term. The financing of it has been done through our own investment. In 2014, we invested USD 60,000,000 Euros on various new projects to make it more attractive and have already secured a loan of around USD 30m USD for the future. Once the loans were completed, we will sell the products we will use on the market and get a profit in just a few months at a total cost of USD 3.2 billion, which translates to a total equity of about 2.3 trillion Euros from its initial portfolio. This is at USD 30 per cent of the value of that portfolio and I can now say with certainty that we can easily achieve this in one year and I can make my dream company a reality.
Overseeing the decision to expand to larger markets, our team and the company can now make the decision to work towards that same goal. I am certain our future plans in these new businesses will be set from a new source, using the best technologies and strategies available, and with that you will be able to meet the demands you see in the markets you are visiting. We are fully committed to our product line so it is up to me to make my goals a reality for you and your children.
We are working on several new products to sell so you
Although the orders started flowing in, situation into funds buildup or capital’s growth was nil, Efforts and costs into this left very little to show that I was in Business? Speaking with some acquaintances and friends already in business made me feel that I needed a Bank Finance to get me into better Backups, as maybe I was too small financially to achieve better volumes and growth.
After careful assessment of my situation then, I was able to get some credit facility from a Bank and I felt secure for a short time of only a few months. The trap was not revealed as I continue with better zeal and gusto into the same pattern of working as before and funds erosion continued. Small value items clubbed with soaring costs of tooling and delayed payments from buyers left me totally grounded. The scenario became very bad and I was almost into a do or die situation. Totally confused, I did not know what was needed and what was the way out. My involvement was total, both into money investments as well as process and manufacturing.
Self analysis of the situation was ever alarming since the more I analysed, the more I realized that I was into a vicious circle and there was no way to come out of the worsening situation. My areas of Business were getting limited and becoming smaller, every time I tried to diversify into a newer avenue. The gut feeling was either close down for good or do something entirely different to spring back into profitable business. This is the time I started looking into my educational background and experience thus far and look for better business venture as I was still not convinced that I was a failure.
Having come from a Machine Design and Development company, where I had put in a decade before starting on my own, I had never seriously looked into this as a possible alternative. I always thought that this was too tall a task to venture into with the kind of investments and the infrastructure I had built up. It definitely looked like a mountain too tall to climb. In spite of all that I decided to weigh out the possible and worked around:
Machine development to automate customer requirements in labour intensive industries.Overhaul existing automatic machines to attain better insight into engineering designs and complicated mechanisms.Understand customer requirements of degree of switchovers from manual to mechanical systems to evolve into better product outputs.Work out cost scenarios to achieve end results in line with customer thinking.Learn and adapt Technological innovations to achieve simple and easy solutions thereby the term User Friendly.This then became my foremost obsession and I started the activity wholeheartedly. Only question at that time which was worrying me was if the system fails then what? Machine development is an activity which defies all time parameters since all pitfalls cannot be predicted beforehand.

Machine development is an opportunity for the people who are doing the most things with a machine to discover new things for their business and experience the power to control processes and algorithms, which is the key to better knowledge of our machines, especially when it comes to working quickly as the needs of machines are increasingly pressing and the development of computers is increasing.

This also was selling my ideas to customers and convincing them that my system would work. Getting fund support from customers was essential but Buyer always wanted to have a fair idea about what he was getting. My costing of the systems was also based on my conclusions about what the customer would be willing to pay. Having recently come from a background of component manufacture with small value additions, here was a newer opportunity I wanted to tap. Initial few years were very difficult as my profit margins were minuscule but I realized I was investing into building customer confidence.
And that’s exactly what happened. Once my machines reached customer premises, and started working,
