Mehta Story, a SonyLiv Hindi Language Web Series is full of business lessons,
leadership qualities, and problem-solving tactics. It was released on 9th
October 2020 and within a week it became one of the finest web series ever
and got 9.6 the highest IMDb ratings among Shows in India.

The Scam 1992 web series is a golden piece of content for those who have an
interest in business, startups, money, and investing. Just imagine how
amazing it is to watch Harshad Mehta’s 15 years of business life from a Jobber
to a founder and then to a criminal in just 10 hours.

1. Power of Dreams: Harshad lived a dream life millions of us want to

live. But his journey started when a typical middle-class man like
Harshad Mehta dreamed and became serious about making money from
 the Stock Market. He had some really big dreams backed up with plans
to execute them. Your dream determines the direction of your life.

2. Value the Work not the Position: Harshad Mehta became one of the
best jobbers of Dalal Street in just a year. He had devoted his energy, effort,
and time to master the work. People will only call you a legend if you embrace
and value what you do irrespective of position. Become a master of your craft
and do it extraordinarily.

3. Start Your Own: Starting something on your own is a risky business and
you might lose everything in the process. When Harshad started his first
business, he lost 10 lacs in just 10 minutes. But remember taking no risk is the
biggest risk at all.

4. Crash Can’t Crush You: Nobody knows when your life would become a
hell. He was in huge debt, his trading account was banned, and his father was
dead. It was a tough time for him when the market crashed but have you ever
thought that tough times build great leaders.

5. When One Door Shuts Open Other: In the midst of crisis, he started
Growmore Research and Asset Management company because he had a good
knowledge and experience about stock market. If you’re going through a
difficult time due to this pandemic, always remember that there’s a beginning
of something new at the end.

6. Build Your Team: Early on Mehta brothers understood that they couldn’t
do everything by themselves. They started building a team of people who
would give it’s 100 percent to the company. This way they were able to build
and grow a successful consultancy business.

7. Develop Your Network: Have you ever taken notes from your friend? If
yes, then tell me why your friend used to give you notes? This is because the
two of you were in a friendship network. So the network is as important in
everything as it is in studies. And Harshad Mehta had a good network with
different people in different positions.
