Fashion Law, IPR law, establishing a Legal news platform - with ANUJ KUMAR

Today’s podcast guest is a radical thinker, relentless executor and a keen observer of the legal field in general.
 
I’m delighted to host Mr Anuj Kumar, founder of Legal Desire Media - a platform that provides the latest legal industry updates and insights across the globe.  What is amazing, is that he founded this while still in law school (!) and today it is a trusted resource for all things law, in India.
 
Anuj has also founded a second venture - called Fashion Law Journal - and is now into fashion law, educating weavers and other artisans on their rights, helping them with their contracting and so much more!
 
I am so pleased to have Anuj on the podcast today to speak about all of these experiences -  how he started, his projects, his tips for lawyers, and so much more! This conversation was so inspirational to me, and I hope you find it the same.

5 things you need to do BEFORE you launch a business

In this age of everyday unicorns and occasional decacorns, being an entrepreneur is becoming an attractive dream. And I am all for this burgeoning trend. 
 
We see a lot of literature on the latest business trends or start-up innovations, but we rarely see or hear practical tips that are needed in order to start your business.
 
I've put together 5 points that I think a potential entrepreneur needs to think about BEFORE he starts a business. I believe going through each of these points and having a clear understanding of where you stand relative to each, will be hugely beneficial in giving you a clear direction of the next steps you need to take in the business
 I hope you enjoy this episode. IF you did, please share and subscribe to the podcast. It would mean a lot to me if you could leave me a review. Or leave a comment on our social media handles -
