Startup Culture

A consolidated culture is one of the most necessary aspect when it comes to the success of any Startup.

A set of values should be prescribed by the Startup founders to follow and believe in. However,just prescribing the values is not enough but founders need to live, breath and eat those values every single day.

The startup culture these days is all about  kicker or ping pong table, xbox and some free beers and pizza over a late night stay at the office. These things are not part of the culture, these are just things. Things that might come with a culture, but are not the culture itself.

You need to follow the vision and values,so that they are visible to your employees. Perhaps I am generalizing when I think that startup founders often fail at coming up with the right vision and values for their company, because they don’t want to necessarily build something on the long run.

Your employees are those that work every day in and out building your dream, without leaving the dream. Creating a successful startup culture is crucial for having happy employees for the long run. People joining a startup, don’t do it because of the money (most of the time), they do it because of the environment, the challenge and the unique vibe that nowhere else in a big corporation one can experience. 

As much as you focus on creating the right culture, those people that will join your team at the early stage will be the messenger of your values. Surround yourself with capable, yet, similar-minded people, who understand your idea of culture and can help you building a sustainable business over a long period of time.

    Very well articulated thoughts Bhavya, shooting straight from the heart I can see.

    Well I can understand for only those who have aligned themselves with a start-up at some point, dared to take up the initial challenges, dreamt of shaping it up, see it take wings & witness the great dream go kaput can relate to every single point you've made.

    To each fish in the startup ocean it's own but fact can't be ignored that till an all inclusive approach is not adopted at every step the journey will be lost somewhere, leaving both the organisation & its employees stranded.

Sometimes, mood swings are a symptom of a mental illness Or they could be a clue that something else is happening in your body.
