Adil Akhtar is a 29-year-old young entrepreneur who believes thinking outside the box isn’t enough. One should never give up on whatever he dreams of should work hard to achieve their goals. There is a famous quote saying, “Winners never quit and quitters never win.”

His major guidance to young people and business owners is that having an idea is vital, but the execution is the most important thing. By adhering to this one basic principle, he has expanded his business in both India and England and achieved milestones in his entrepreneurial journey. When and how did he learn this principle? Through Tesla’s history and success story. With its creative thinking and analysis of customer needs and wants, this innovative company has found success. Everyone thinks that Elon Musk is the mastermind behind Tesla Motors’ revolutionary success. But in fact, Elon Musk is a far-sighted individual who seizes opportunities and thinks like a businessman. 

This company was established back in 2003 by two engineers and like-minded individuals— Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. They both were interested in business and met each other while working for Wyse Technology in 1990. They believed that electric cars would definitely outperform gasoline-powered vehicles and become affordable to everyone. After conducting market research, they started working on this customer-centric approach and the long-term benefits of electric cars.

But in 2001, when Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning met Tesla’s current CEO, Elon Musk, everything changed. Those days, Musk gained a huge profit with the successful sale of PayPal stock to eBay—around $165 million. Tarpenning and Eberhard established the company in 2003, and they began raising funds in 2004. Elon Musk spearheaded the initial funding round and quickly rose to the position of Head of the Board of Directors.

They eventually gave up after a few years, but they are still Tesla shareholders who support the company. An idea never guarantees success, but consistency and believing in yourself do. This is what makes Elon Musk a successful entrepreneur and owner of innovative technologies and business endeavors. Adil Akhtar attributes his success to this narrative. Never give up on your aspirations, and seize every opportunity that comes your way. Young people who are working hard to become entrepreneurs must know that without risk, no business can succeed.  

Adil Akhtar mentions that criticism and self-doubt will be part of your success journey. However, the strength to adapt to such challenges and evolve your business ideas in accordance with market shifts is only possible because of inner motivation. Improving your skills and implementing experience for future growth will lead to personal as well as professional success. “Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps that make the journey complete.” He is completely dedicated to building his company, which is now flourishing in places like Dubai, England, and many others.
