Highlighting the dearth in government jobs, Khamo pointed out that there are “unlimited” ways for people who want to take up entrepreneurship. Maintaining that ‘Thinking is Capital’, he stated that enterprise is the way and hard work is the solution to it.

The Advisor observed that money is not required to become rich if a person knows how to convert the ideas, hands and legs into money. Additionally, Khamo also challenged the participants to be determined and develop self-confidence in their pursuits and take up entrepreneurship as a profession to progress at par with the rest of the world.
