I admire...

One may assume that entrepeneurs possess and exhbit a variety of qualities and traits that are required to start and run a business. However, as I got thinking about the same, I realized that the entrepreneurs I know and admire display a particular trait predominantly. Since, most of these entrepreneurs are successful in their own way, I guess one does not need to know it all or be it all to create a successful business. So here is my list:

I admire...

Kashyap Deorah of Chaupaati for his vision and his consumer focussed approach to business
Manish Agarwal of Picsquare and Rahul Gupta of Vakow for their perseverence
Mukesh Bansal of Myntra for his business strategy and business model
The Idea forge guys for thier innovative thinking 
Vineeta Singh of Quetzal for her passion and committment towards her business
Ankur Gattani of Lifeinlines.com for his execution abilities
Steve Jobs for his ability to identify, negotiate and close deals
Rajiv Dhingra of Watblog for well being an aspiring young entrepreneur!
Anurag and Pankag of Phulki for thier simplistic design thinking

If a goddamn consultant is reading this post...no these are not mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive!

I guess I will keep adding to this list as more names and themes come to my mind.
