IIM Rohtak had the opportunity to welcome Mr. Kunal Agarwal, Founder, CredFlow, for an engaging session on “Hard Things About Hard Things.”
The session provided students with insights on entrepreneurship, building businesses, and navigating uncertainty in today's world. Drawing from his experiences building CredFlow and his earlier ventures, Mr. Agarwal shared practical lessons on testing ideas fast rather than over-perfecting them, building meaningful networks and mentorship along the way, and hiring for culture and human quotient over skill alone as a business scales.
He spoke about staying resilient through uncertain phases of growth, absorbing pressure as a leader rather than broadcasting every setback, and being willing to cut costs and course-correct when survival demands it. He also reflected on the importance of finding meaning in one's work and focusing on what is within one's control, even as uncertainty remains a constant.
The session offered students a grounded perspective on entrepreneurship beyond the classroom, underscoring that building a successful venture is as much about persistence, learning, and people as it is about the idea itself.
IIM Rohtak expresses its gratitude to Mr. Kunal Agarwal for taking the time to share his experiences, insights, and lessons from the entrepreneurial journey with our students.
