Bhanu Choudhrie: Continuous learning key to business growth

Founder and Executive Director of C&C Alpha Group, Bhanu Choudhrie believes that continuous learning is essential to move forward in business life. Taking this idea forward, the young entrepreneur recently enrolled himself in Owner/President management program at Harvard Business to understand the dynamics of entrepreneurship and business in a better way. The management program consists of the three-week training module, which spans over the period of three years.  
  
“As a business leader, I need to be constantly learning. To help my business thrive and expand, I have to be responsive to the ever-changing nuances of the global economy and be familiar with case histories and insights that relate to my organization. This process began with my formal university education, and it continues with what I learn through the trials of the workplace. But that's not enough. So I was keen to find an executive business program that would match my schedule and my business needs as my operations expanded internationally. The Owner/President Management program was the perfect fit.” said Bhanu on his learning experience at OPM.

Talking about the highlights of OPM, Bhanu said that he was highly fascinated by the intellectual fervor of the Harvard crowd. The diversity, intelligence, and eminence of his classmates kept him motivated and inspired him to do better in his classes. He also enjoyed Harvard’s famous case study method that helped him explore timely business quandaries and taught him how to come out with solutions in critical business situations.

“There was plenty that was unexpected. The case study discussions disrupted my staid way of thinking and altered my view of even the most basic business facts. Looking back on my first week in the program, I recall thinking, "Did the other students read the same cases I did?" because their viewpoints were very different from mine. They saw the cases from the perspective of their own industries, their own governments, and their own professional circles. No matter how arcane the issue, there was no dearth of experience—and disagreement — to go around, especially when the full class of 125 got together.” said Bhanu Choudhrie about his learning experience at this management program.

“The variety and scope of venture capitalism is the real attraction so one day you can be closing on a new hospitality investment and the next talking about a new piece of aircraft simulation kit. You have to be well versed in an array of often specialist markets which keeps you on your toes. The entrepreneurial spirit with which I have grown up and inherited, lends itself to keeping things exciting and challenging. Working with bright people is always the key to success” stated Bhanu Choudhrie on being asked what the most exciting element of running a business is.

C&C Alpha Group has been able to make some successful investments in the areas of healthcare, hospitality, aviation, property, and agriculture. According to him, successful markets are a right place to make investments. He particularly likes to invest in carefully analyzed lucrative markets. His recent investment in New-York based Megalith capital management proved to be lucrative as well.  

Bhanu Choudhrie’s attitude towards the future has always been positive. He is quite interested and hopeful about the growth of pilot training institute Alpha Aviation, which is currently working with major airlines in the Middle East and South East Asia.

BankMobile founders receive accolades for their international bestseller

Entrepreneurship is all about recreating success over and over again and BankMobile’s father-daughter duo, Jay and Luvleen Sidhu keep doing just that. This mobile application has reached over 2 million customers and has been able to create quite a buzz in the banking sector. Their latest international bestseller book titled ‘Why Can't Banks Be as Easy as Uber?: BankMobile and The Real Future of Banking’ have been ranked number one on Amazon stores across USA, Australia, and Germany. 

In a fantastic week for BankMobile, its executive team also earned praises for organizing a successful event at Investor day at Harvard Club in New York. 

The book talks about the advantages of a disruptive ideology like BankMobile in great detail and also tells why the traditional banking system is not fit to be followed anymore.    

“What a compelling book! The banking revolution that the Sidhus are proposing is sure to make banking easier -- and you happier."  Is the review given by Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling Author of Happier.

"...BankMobile offered a mobile banking app that provided basic bank accounts for real people: Checking, Savings, Personal Loan and financial education. The whole banking experience from opening an account to setting up bill pay can be done with the app. The technology they put together with their partners is far superior to that of biggest five banks in the U.S. As I write this in June 2016, my view has not changed, and the app has only improved to include more than basic banking. They now provide an easy to use advanced money management platform which gives the BankMobile customer the tools to manage and improve their financial lives. The story behind the creation of BankMobile is fascinating. It details how the banking system, in general, is broken and why the US needs bank services that are truly customer focused." - David Gerbino, FinTech, Bank and Data-Driven Marketing Consultant, DMG Consulting. 

Money generated from sales of this book will be used for promotional activities in order to generate financial awareness among young entrepreneurs and communities.
