Greater Noida,
Lesson 1: Work closely with the best in the
industry to understand business and
quickly do a SWOT analysis .It helps.
HP is ready to make Mishraji (peon) a
partner for his skills and aspirations and
not for his qualification.
Lesson 2: Recruit for talent and aspiration and
not for fancy degrees and communication skills.
Talented people will remain committed to the
company and work efficiently.
HP welcomes his immediate boss with long side
locks as his partner for his experience. Also
fighting with him would have made the situation
worse.
Lesson 3: Don’t under estimate experience just
because you have a brilliant idea and have got
some quick success. Instead of fighting with
competent people, make them your associates.

HP warns his technical associate (porn king in

movie) to behave well with the receptionist.
Lesson 4: Make your work environment safe and
respectful for everyone from day one.

HP refuses to change his vendor when a big order

comes as he is the person who helped him in
startup and trusted him.
Lesson 5: Building trust is the most difficult part of
business. If you are able to develop it, nourish it. Do
not grow alone. Let your partners and vendors also
grow with you.

HP gives guarantee of service 24X7 and is even ready

to sell his scooter if things go wrong.
Lesson 6: Serve your customers as per their need
and not as per your convenience. Put your 100% to
your business. Always be ready to take risk and
guard your partners. A true leader always stands
by his associates and is not afraid of failures.
HP sells off his dream to save his partners when
things go wrong.
Lesson 7: Every person in an organization should be
given respect.
The process of empowerment brings out the best in
employees. So the Receptionist at AYS becomes the
Customer Relations Executive at Rocket, while the
chai-walla becomes a computer assembler. As soon
as the chai-walla begins to be called Mr. Srivastava,
he learns a new state of self-respect and worth.
Lesson 8 Believe in your people. They makes a
organization great & successful & matter end of the
day.
A hostile takeover of a smaller company on the strength
of a ‘cheque’ book by the owner of AYS makes it
generally difficult to assimilate into successful
organization. A friendly win-win situation needs to be
created for all parties. Furthermore, cultural
assimilation is the most important factor for two
organizations to merge. The culture of corruption and
bribery at AYS could not merge with Rocket’s culture of
integrity, hard work and honesty.
Lesson 9: Most important lesson: Take risk.
Even Spiderman takes risk.
