Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of SpiceJet, is not just an entrepreneur but also a man who is ready to take on any challenge. In an interview that lasted over an hour and a half, he posed challenging questions, revealing his unique thinking on success, failure and the spirit of adventure.

Thinking Differently: Not Tolerating Mediocrity

One of the first questions Singh posed was: *"What is the biggest downside of being the same as everyone else?"* This was not just a philosophical question but also a reflection of his personal views. Singh believes that being different is essential in the business world. "I can't be the same or be myself or be a stereotype," he asserted. This view explains why he has led SpiceJet through many challenges in the fierce aviation industry.

No Risk, No Success

Continuing the conversation, Singh asked: "What is the downside of not taking risks?" The usual answer would be safety, but for him, it is too high a price. Singh believes that if people do not dare to take risks, they will never achieve anything significant. This is also the spirit that helped him revive SpiceJet after many crises, proving the mettle of an entrepreneur who is not afraid of challenges.

Failure - Part of Success

The last question that Singh asked was perhaps the most difficult: *"What do you enjoy most about the game of 'snakes and ladders': Climbing the ladder and reaching 99 or sliding down the snake to reach the bottom?" The common reflex is to choose the path of climbing the ladder quickly. But Singh looks at it from a different angle: "How would you measure your resilience if you didn't start from scratch?"

This is the business philosophy he has always followed - failure is not the end, but an opportunity to stand up stronger. It is this mindset that has helped Singh steer SpiceJet through the most difficult times and continue to survive in the challenging aviation industry.

Entrepreneurial Spirit and Perseverance

Ajay Singh is not just an entrepreneur but also a leader with a sharp mind and constantly looking for opportunities in challenges. For him, stress is not an obstacle but a stimulant for growth. Singh's journey is a clear proof that success comes not only from intelligence, but also from perseverance, courage and the ability to cope with failure.
