Dinesh Kumar’s story as Founder of Minterminds

 


 

There was a time when I was an employee, and one question always stayed in my mind.

Why does the company keep giving multiple projects to the same resource?

Why not simply hire a new person for every new project? Let’s know the Dinesh Kumar’s experience as founder of Minterminds.

At that time, it felt unfair.

I used to think, “Why put so much pressure on one person when a new hire can handle the next project?”

But today, after becoming a founder, I finally understand the reality behind that decision.

Sometimes, a new project comes with very low margins.

Sometimes the project itself is only for 4–6 months.

Now imagine hiring a new person just for that project.

What happens if the client pauses the work, reduces scope, or closes the project after a few months?

The responsibility of salary still remains.

And as a company, you cannot simply stop paying someone because a project ended.

That salary has to come from somewhere — often from the founder’s own pocket until new work arrives.

This is the side employees often don’t get to see.

Today I realize…

It was never about overloading someone intentionally.

It was about survival, sustainability, and responsibility.

No one is truly at fault here.

Not the client. Not the company. Not the candidate.

Everyone is doing their best from the position they are in.

Becoming a founder has taught me one thing:
Every decision has a story behind it that people outside may never see.

Sometimes what looks unfair from one side looks necessary from the other.
And that understanding changes everything.

Why “We’ll Fix It Later” Is What Slows Most Businesses Down

Image
  There’s a phrase that sounds completely harmless inside most companies. “We’ll fix it later.” It usually comes up in small moments. A process isn’t perfect, but it works. A system has a gap, but the team knows how to manage it. Something feels slightly off, but not enough to stop work. So the decision feels logical. Keep things moving. Deal with it later. No one argues with it, because at that point, it doesn’t feel like a real problem. And that’s exactly why it becomes one. Let’s know the views of Dinesh Kumar CEO of Minterminds . It Never Feels Urgent in the Beginning The reason “we’ll fix it later” is so common is because the issue rarely feels urgent when it first appears. It’s usually something small. A report that needs a quick manual adjustment. A system that doesn’t sync properly, but only sometimes. A workflow that needs one extra step to confirm accuracy. Nothing breaks. Nothing crashes. No alarms go off. The business keeps running. And when things are still moving, it...

Dinesh Kumar’s suggestion for new founders

Image
  If I had to teach a new founder one lesson, I wouldn’t start with strategy first. Instead, I’d start with rejection says Dinesh Kumar Chandigarh Minterminds’s founder. The first few months of building Minterminds taught me something that no book or course ever could. Everyone sees the exciting parts when you start a company. The idea, the website, the first client, and the vision. But nobody sees what happens before all of this. The unanswered messages, the calls that never returned, and the meetings that end with “We’ll think about it.” Every call feels important when you start. You prepare and talk about the value you can bring to all to hear silence at the end of the call. It hits you, and you start doubting yourself, whether you made the right decision or not. But things change after some time. You start to realize that all this is a part of the process. You get to understand that building a company doesn’t mean avoiding rejection but becoming comfortabl...

Dinesh Kumar Chandigarh Minterminds views on Sephora

Image
This brand doesn’t just sell beauty products but has redefined how beauty is discovered. any guesses which brand this is? Asks Dinesh Kumar Chandigarh Minterminds’s CEO. Well, this is SEPHORA . This is the one beauty brand that has made beauty feel accessible, exciting, and aspirational. If I were strengthening its digital presence, here’s what I’d do. 1. Turn discovery into a journey. Beauty isn’t just about filters but about stories. I’d focus on stories like Find your glow based on vibe to make beauty feel like an exploration. 2. Focus on learning. I’d come up with interactive tutorials like step-by-step guides, and short expert videos so that the customers feel confident before they even buy. 3. Build loyalty. The users return when it’s about identity, like weekly beauty quizzes or My Sephora lookbook, to enable users to save their favorite routines. Beauty shouldn’t just feel like a catalogue. But like a journey online. P.S.- Do you shop at Sephora? Originally Poste...
