1. Case Study. 14
It is not often acknowledged that Raj Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, 100, chairman
of an empire of 29 hotels spanning most of the world's landmass is also the
man who pioneered India as a brand, way back when it was only a bazaar of
begging bowls and exotica. At 90, he looked back in something close to awe
and said, "I often wonder how I did it".
Certainly he did not give much of the credit to luck. True, he stood at the right
time at the right place to confront his destiny, but this was just physical
circumstances. What he did with the situation was amazing for a man from the
boon docks of Bhaun, with little education, and really not to the manor born.
Indeed, if anything, the Rai Bahadur made his fortune out of calamity. If his
father hadn't died of cholera when he was only an infant, his mother would not
have returned to the ancestral home which gave Oberoi the connections and
contacts that helped him raise money later to buy his first hotel, the Clarke's at
Simla. If he hadn't flunked the interview for his first job as clerk with the
Government of India, he would never have made his way to the Simla Mall,
gazed in wonderment at the glitter of the Cecil and made up his mind that he
would work there. If a fatal bug in the water supply, hadn't laid low Calcutta's
mighty Grant Hotel, it would never have been up for grabs. Again Oberoi just
chanced to hear about it at the Delhi railway station when he was leaving to
return to base in Simla. He simply changed his ticket and his direction and went
to mint millions out of wartime Calcutta another catastrophe. Life served his
lemons regularly but with even greater regularity did the Rai Bahadur make
lemonade.
The story of Rai Bahadur is all the more impressive because there was nothing
in his background to suggest that he would be able to create the world-class
ambience and sophistication for which the group is now celebrated, that he
would be able to foresee India's current positioning in the global market, while
doffing a deferential hat to history when it was demanded.
For instance, when other hotels were cramming their lobbies with brassbound
chests and colonial nostalgia, Oberoi created the first international business
hotel, the Oberoi Intercontinental in Delhi. However, in the Mena House, Egypt,
and the Windsor, Australia, he went to extraordinary lengths and expense to
produce authenticity to the last detail, including country-wide searches for
memories and memorabilia. In order to replicate the flooring in the Windsor, he
tracked down the original supplier of the tiles in distant Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Celebrating his 100th birthday, with his mind almost as clear as it was 50 years
ago, perhaps the one philosophy responsible for his grand success might be his
dictum. "I never worry. It clutters the brain. The problem may not happen, and
even if it does, worrying will only come in the way of clear-headed solution".
'Nature and nurture plays key role in entrepreneurship development'. Explain
with reference to above case study.
In your opinion, what are the significant determinants in the making of Oberoi's
entrepreneurial career
2. Write short notes on any two of the following 14

6. Explain external influences of Entrepreneurship Development. 14
