When recession is giving a tough battle among Entrepreneurs, few young bloods still roar to challenge it by starting their dream company. A2Z team recently cracked one such aspiring company in Coimbatore named Scorp 9 Global services founded by Mr.Naresh.
A2z team had some fun with this young entrepreneur by asking him several tricky questions.

Would you believe that Naresh is still in his final year of studies yet running a 30 seater IT Support and allied services in Coimbatore? 

The Entrepreneur’s Story

Hailing from Coimbatore, Naresh always had an urge to do things differently right from his childhood. Being stamped as a “bubbly boy”, Naresh grew in a business atmosphere which made his intentions very clear in his school days. Before launching Scorp 9 global services, he has ventured into many part time businesses like Mobile stores, selling educational CD’s (ofcourse with the informations gathered by him on various subjects) and so on… Naresh proudly accepts the fact that he had seen many failures before in his business which increased his pulse to make it big one day.

The Entrepreneur’s Curse

When asked about his hardships, Naresh takes no time to reply that getting bank loans was the toughest part of all (Yes it should be  …). He argues that everybody has a dream of starting their own venture but where are the funds? In a democratic country like India, it is very sad that even before asking my business plans, people in bank asks for guarantee…what guarantee can I give? Except to promise them to do decent business and give employment to 3o + people! Naresh also reminds us that there are lot more innovative ideas on floor and without investment those ideas might be soon exported to foreign countries. (ha! Rightly said Naresh)

Naresh’s networking idea for success

When asked about his business secrets and how he market’s and where he gets orders from (a dumb question to ask, but we went ahead …), with a cheeky smile, Naresh spits that “Networking is key to business…I usually spend 4 to 5 for sleeping, and rest I build my network and now I have a great resource of people to back me up. So it’s all about networking. So aspiring Entrepreneurs…watch out.

Naresh’s “man in mirror concept”

man-in-the-mirror

When asked about his inspiration or role model, Naresh surprised us by taking out a face mirror from his desk and pointing that he shouts …” he is my role model …whenever I have a problem. I see the man in the mirror and ask him doubts, have a consultation and relax. He is my advisor and he is my GOD Father and yes that’s me ! , he winks and he says that he takes the mirror with him wherever he goes. ( Sounds interesting though …)

Team Scorp 9 Culture

 We can feel a great energy flow inside the office and the rapport of the professionals where just fantastic and when we enquired about it , Naresh takes us by surprises by saying that he had recruited all his friends and that gives him the leading edge of maintaining the confidentiality of the concern. He also showed us an offer letter and we found that the salary was just at par with the industry standards. He has also recruited two senior HR’s who are guiding this young light.

A CEO with a difference

 After sipping a cool pepsi , we came out with a satisfied feeling of visiting a young vibrant start up and personally we feel that this guy is bit different…managing 30 people and pursuing his final year BTech in Prist University with decent academic records, smile’s always..soft natured….never misses to have party’s …friends..mobile geek…oooppss…there are more secrets but let us stop here… atlast he promises to start a Business school in another 4 years…

Enough of his inspiration, we took our bike …zoooomed to our office and recollected this guy’s attitude….that night we had a relaxed sleep after a loooong time..what more to expect ?
