Outstanding performance and respect for work
Respect for work is a fundamental value of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs that value their work feel that perseverance
will lead to success. They also work hard and experiment with new ideas to expand their business.
Task Critical Thinking
Study the following case study and answer the questions that follow:
Santosh makes handmade mojari slippers for men in Rajasthan. His whole family is involved in his business.
Santosh used to sell the mojaris in the local shops in Rajasthan. However, he was not able to sell many pairs.
He then tried to sell the mojaris by going door-to-door but only a few people bought from him. He used to get
tired and spent more money travelling.
However, he remained optimistic and continued to go to more people to sell his product. He added new styles,
sequins and embroidery to the slippers and began making them in different sizes. He even involved his local
friends who knew this skill in his business. Then one of his friends told him about becoming a seller on ‘Amazon’
through which he could sell his mojaris without travelling to big cities. He immediately registered his company
and started getting orders. Earlier he could sell a maximum of 60 pairs of mojaris in a month, but now he sells
more than 500 pairs every month. He even has a few overseas customers!
