Hi Guys,
Recently, I saw quite a few ads being displayed on TV related to entrepreneurs/entrepreneurship. I thought of doing a compilation of some beautiful TV advertisements which are related to entrepreneurs and/or carry a very nice underlying message ideal for entrepreneurs.
So below is the list. Watch the videos, enjoy, learn and get motivated!
Khud Ko Kar Buland by Birla Sun Life
This is one of the best advertisements I have seen in recent times. Emotionally touching and having a nice underlying message. A must watch !
Ad by Shriram City Union Finance Ltd.
This advertisements is by Shriram City, a leading company in consumer and small business finance. Another must watch !
Lombard Suitings by Lombard India
This is another nice ad which shows difference between Power and ‘The Real Power’. Suits their tagline very well- Lombard Suiting- Where real power rests!
TV Advertisement of Parker Pens
This is comparatively old and small ad by Parker pens. Though this ad is not directly related to entrepreneurs, it does carry a nice message suitable for all of us here.
Titan Celestial Time
Another recent one by Titan Celestial Time collection. Watch and see it yourself.
That’s it guys! Feel free to share links of any more TV advertisements related to entrepreneurs, if you know any via comments.

LOVED THE LAST ONE :))))
Check out this REAL STORY from the 9 best conversations of my life:
Your own worth is sometimes unknown to you…
Circa -1999.
Place – Office of eVentures in Khaitan Bhavan (Churchgate) Mumbai.
People present – Neeraj Bhargava (CEO of eVentures) and me.
Situation – Diligence meeting on the funding of c2w by eVentures. The 3 open questions that needed to be addressed were:
1) Why doesn’t c2w generate revenue?
2) Who is on the team other than Alok?
3) Is there a client reference for c2w and its business?
Neeraj asked me the first question, “Why aren’t you charging any of your clients for their online contests?”
I replied, “The idea and concept of c2w is literally the first in the world. Brands would take a lot of time to understand it, to pay us. It’s something brands need to get addicted to before we ask them to pay.”
Neeraj then asked me, “Who else is on your team other than yourself?”
I gulped and replied, “Two junior webmasters.”
Neeraj came to the third question about providing a client’s reference and twisted it by asking me, “Alok, give me the name and number of your most demanding client. Someone, who has given you lots of business. I want to talk to someone who didn’t get swayed by your sweet talk to give you business just once, but rather someone who finds real value in what you do and gives you business repeatedly.”
My heart sank. Our toughest and most demanding client was Pepsi Mumbai, headed by a person called Thota Ranganath. In my mind, I assumed that this discussion was over. Ranga was not going to be kind about us and about our work because we could never satisfy his endless demands.
I gave Ranga’s reference and telephone number to Neeraj.
Neeraj immediately called Ranga in my presence which was absolutely nerve-wracking for me. I clearly heard Neeraj asking questions like, “Do you deal with c2w? How is their work? Do you like the team?”
He then asked, “Why don’t you compensate them?”
Ranga’s reply made Neeraj get up and walk out of the room.
A few minutes later Neeraj came back. He looked point blank at me and said,
“Alok! Ranga told me that he loves your ideas and work.”
Neeraj continued and said, “I asked Ranga the reason why Pepsi doesn’t compensate c2w?”
‘Ranga told me that “Alok never asks(!!)” and further added that Pepsi was actually worried if there was something fraudulent about c2w, because nobody works with Pepsi for free.’
Finally Neeraj dropped the atomic bomb on me. He said, “I also asked Ranga if he would ever consider working for c2w and with Alok. Ranga told me, “Of course! It sounds very exciting!”
Lesson learnt – True value lies in the eye of the beholder. Do your best and then let partners and well-wishers help you unlock the real value you have created.
(Ranga did join c2w as COO and went on to launch mobile2win in China as a co-founder with me.)
