Hetvi Malsatar

Hetvi Malsatar is a PGDM student at IIBS Bangalore and working closely with her family business, Real Motors Pvt. Ltd., in the automobile and vehicle-maintenance space. Her journey combines business education with hands-on experience in building and improving a real-world business. Working closely with operations, customers, technology and business development has taught her that entrepreneurship is not just about having an idea—it is about taking ownership, solving problems and continuously executing. Hetvi is passionate about entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation and building businesses that solve practical problems. She believes young people should not wait for the “perfect time” to start learning, experimenting and creating. She is currently pursuing her PGDM while actively developing her entrepreneurial and leadership skills, with a long-term goal of building businesses and inspiring more young people to think like problem-solvers.

I’m passionate about entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, and turning real-world problems into practical solutions. I enjoy understanding why a problem exists, challenging the usual way of doing things, and finding ways to create something that genuinely works. I’m especially interested in the journey behind entrepreneurship — from identifying a problem and testing an idea to handling failure, building a team, understanding customers, and making things happen. I’m also passionate about empowering young people to take action instead of waiting until they feel completely ready. I believe some of the best learning happens when we step outside the classroom and try to solve real problems ourselves.

“An idea is only the beginning. Execution is what gives an idea the power to create change.” We often celebrate entrepreneurs for their ideas, but rarely talk about what happens after the idea. The real journey begins when the idea meets customers, rejection, limited resources, operational problems and uncertainty. I believe entrepreneurship should be taught less as “how to start a company” and more as how to identify problems, take ownership and build solutions through execution. Young people don't always need more motivation to become entrepreneurs. They need opportunities to experiment, fail safely, understand real problems and learn how businesses actually work. My idea is simple: stop waiting to feel ready. Start with a real problem, build a small solution, learn from the market and improve it. Entrepreneurship is not only about building companies. It is a mindset of seeing problems as opportunities to create something useful.
