The Mahabharata tells the story of the Kurukshetra War between the Kaurava and Pandava rulers. It is a tremendous repository of information and insight. It offers intelligent strategic management learning for a variety of company conditions that an entrepreneur may face. The narrative of how Arjuna's decision caused the Pandavas to win the war before it had started is a fascinating lesson for modern-day businesspeople.
Both the Kaurava and Pandava factions summoned enormous troops to their aid by forming agreements with neighbouring countries. Before the battle began, Arjuna, the Pandava prince, and Duryodhana, the Kaurava prince, travelled to Krishna to request his alliance's assistance. Krishna was a political reformer who won conflicts with his army of 10,000 foot troops. Duryodhana was the first to arrive to Krishna's apartments and saw him sleeping; Arjuna followed and waited for Krishna to awaken. When Kirshna awoke, his gaze landed on Arjuna seated at his feet, and when he turned, he saw Duryodhana standing close to his head.
When they saw Krishna awake, they both asked for his help in the conflict. Krishna gave them two options: first, he offered his army resources, and second, he offered himself. He stated unequivocally that the army's resources will fight, but he will not. He will just provide assistance. He provided Arjuna the opportunity to choose first since he saw him first. Without hesitation, Arjuna chose Krishna's assistance over the army of resources. Duryodhan was relieved since he believed Arjun's decision was stupid and unwise. This choice by Arjuna was a watershed moment in which the Pandvas won the war despite their small numbers because to Krishna's counsel, direction, and understanding. For entrepreneurs, direction is more vital than resources in order to achieve their goals.
Entrepreneurs like Arjuna are hard-core fighters, full of energy and action. Entrepreneurs like Arjuna should look for Krishna-type mentors to help them succeed. Arjuna faced his low points in the Mahabharata conflict, and Krishna, his tutor, helped him regain his confidence. Throughout the fight, Krishna provided timely coaching to Arjuna, assisting him in determining what route was right, what is good, and continually reminding him of his main mission. Most entrepreneurs, like Duryodhana, are dazzled by riches (money) while underestimating Krishna's strength (mentor).
Entrepreneurs' thoughtless search of finance is a likely route to failure; instead, they should seek for a mentor who believes in their aims. Entrepreneurs must recognise that resources may deplete, decrease, or dry up depending on market conditions, but Krishna support for entrepreneurs is accessible wherever, at any time, and at all times. Entrepreneurs frequently mix up teaching with mentoring. Dronacharya was Arjuna's instructor but never his mentor. A teacher assists in the acquisition of skills, whereas a mentor assists in the achievement of goals. According to popular belief, all mentors are instructors, but not all teachers are mentors. If entrepreneurs as proteges can have both Krishna mentoring and his resources, it will be the best case scenario for the startup's success. Entrepreneurs, first go locate your Krishna, and I am confident that the necessary resources will follow.
