Starting Out
If Vijay Eswaran could sum up an entrepreneur in three words his choices would be inquisitive, intuitive and intense. He is motivated by the people that he connects with through his business. He interacts with his customers and listens to the stories of how his business has contributed to their lives. Successfully helping others motivates him to do better and to continue changing lives. When Eswaran first started it business was tough. He didn’t have a family to support him, no funding and no network. He lacked a belief system on the outside but deep down he knew he wasn’t just meant to make money for others. He appreciates the like-minded people that have entered his life including his wife. He says his company has dealt with many setbacks, and still are dealing with some, but he needs to face them head on to keep progressing.
Leading The Group
Vijay Eswaran tries to instill in his staff to remain humble and remember its beginnings. He places a constant reminder on himself and everyone all the time. He says its not the company, its the people within the company that get the success. He doesn’t just look at skill sets and capital, he looks for like-minded people. He wants hard working people on his team who he can trust. The people he wants to work with are loyal, sincere, and also daring. Eswaran says he feels business is like sports. You must train harder than the opposing teams and constantly learn and grow. The team he has at QI Group was formed based on their mindset and attitude. All that was left to do was train them.
