Mysore Saree Udyog (MSU) might be a household name in southern India today, but during the brand’s launch back in 1932, my family had started it with the intention of manufacturing and supplying real gold threads, commonly known as Zari. Over the past 9 decades since its launch, we slowly expanded MSU into the manufacture and retail of authentic silk yarn and fabric, and the success of the brand today speaks for itself.

My entrepreneurial journey started around 8 years ago when I came to Singapore along with the other co-founders of our company to start Comm-IT Consultancy Services – an IT consulting firm. It was around the same time that I got accepted into the SP Jain Executive MBA program, and I could immediately see a difference in how I handled business. I used to apply the learnings from my class directly to the company operations, and we were soon able to expand our start-up to the other parts of ASEAN. One of the most important learnings from my MBA journey was that what matters is not what you think, but what your customers think. Design thinking may seem like a recent buzzword to many – but what people often do not know is that all successful businesses have been applying this concept forever.

After completing his engineering degree in IT, Siddharth Vishwanath (GMBA’09) started his career by working in the IT services industry for 2 years before he decided to join SP Jain to pursue the Global MBA program. “When I started my GMBA, I was very new in the industry, and quite naïve. So, it was no surprise that the first few days in the program were overwhelming, to say the least. The power-packed curriculum, meeting new people, travelling to new places, trying new cuisines – it was a completely new territory for me,” says Siddharth.
