On the second day of the “Insight: The DNA of Success” event on Friday, Nitin Paranjpe, non-executive chairman of Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), said the company accelerated its growth by expanding its distribution network rather than waiting for a breakthrough product. He recounted how a proposal to add 500,000 new stores—initially seen as unrealistic—triggered new energy, ideas, and a shift in organisational mindset. Within weeks, internal discussions changed, and teams identified ways to make tangible progress. By September, the target appeared achievable, and HUL ultimately met the goal within the year. Paranjpe highlighted the broader lesson that fear of failure often limits creativity and prevents individuals from reaching their potential. Rohit Bansal, co-founder of Titan Capital and AceVector, spoke about his entrepreneurial journey and his continued identification as an entrepreneur despite his role as an investor. He emphasized the importance of resilience, noting that many founders succeed because they persist slightly longer and push harder at key moments. He also described his long-standing partnership with Kunal Bahl, noting that aligned commitment and shared decision-making have been central to their approach. The Sadhguru Academy’s annual leadership intensive is being held from November 27–30 at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, drawing over 200 participants from more than 20 countries. The program features business and academic leaders across four days.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Our Rashtra Built On Culture, Not Clashes”: RSS Chief’s Big Claim On Nationhood“Oppression Will Trigger Jihad”: Jamiat Chief’s Explosive Claim Stirs StormEAM Jaishankar Decodes Massive US China Power Shift And Global Realignment In Sharp Kolkata AddressImran Khan Isolation Sparks Fury As PTI Claims His Photo Could Transform Pak’s Political RealityDelhi Court Extends Anmol Bishnoi’s Custody; NIA Probes Gang-Terror LinksAviation Expert Flags Deadly Risk In A320 Fleet After Critical Control System FailurePakistan Still Licking Op Sindoor Wounds: BSF Warns Next Attack Will Trigger Even Stronger ResponseAfter India’s 8.2% GDP Jump, Piyush Goyal Credits Reforms And Predicts Strong, Sustained ExpansionIMD Issues Red Alert as Cyclone Ditwah Approaches TN; Sri Lanka Deaths Exceed 80Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar Project Unity After High-Stakes Karnataka Meet Amid Rumours Of Cong Rift123Photostories5 animals that went extinct in recentyearsKajol to Janhvi Kapoor: Celebrity looks that defined today’s fashion mood board8 air-purifying indoor plants that naturally absorb harmful gasesFrom Dharmendra to Amjad Khan: Remembering the ‘Sholay’ stars who are no longer with usGen Z sensations Aneet Padda & Ahaan Panday serve old-school romance with their viral ‘Saiyaara’ glow-upHyderabad Unveils India’s First Mobile Anti-Drone Vehicle to Boost Security MeasuresIn Pics | Tesla Opens India’s First All-In-One Facility in GurgaonNoida Apple Store Unveiled: India’s Fifth Retail Location with Peacock-Inspired Design at DLF Mall of India7 animals that became space travellers ahead of humansShilpa Shetty yet again serves major fashion goals with her silver saree-jacket combo123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodayNew Labour CodeWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingGiannis AntetokounmpoBo BichetteWWE Smackdown HighlightsDonald TrumpPerez HiltonCyclone DitwahR AshwinAyesha CurryFuzzy ZoellerJammie Booker
