Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on 'two biographical heroes' who influenced his business philosophy
Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos said that Thomas Edison and Walt Disney are his 'two biographical heroes' who influenced his entrepreneurial philosophy. In a 2001 interview, Bezos highlighted how Edison's inventive spirit and Disney's visionary leadership shaped the way he approached building Amazon into one of America's most influential tech companies. Bezos praised Edison as both a symbol and embodiment of innovation, admiring his role as a pioneer in invention. Stating that the American inventor is his biographical hero, Bezos said 'Edison is not only the symbol of that but the actual fact of that'. In contrast, he credited Disney for his ability to create a compelling vision and inspire large teams to bring that vision to life — a skill Bezos found crucial for scaling ambitious projects. He praised Disney's 'incredible capability to create a vision that he could get a large number of people to share'. He further noted that while Edison largely worked alone on his inventions, Disney's success came from organizing people around a shared dream — something Bezos sought to emulate in Amazon's growth and culture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Andy Jassy reveals Jeff Bezos' four traits that helped make Amazon a $1 trillion company In an interview, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy highlighted four key traits that set Bezos apart, calling him 'arguably the most unusual business leader of our era.'

Divanë | Njoftime Kërkimi Mëso më shumë The satellite internet service is expected to significantly impact connectivity in India's remote and underserved areas, where traditional broadband infrastructure has been challenging to establish. Starlink's low Earth orbit satellite constellation promises to deliver high-speed internet access to locations previously unreachable by conventional terrestrial networks. The pricing structure appears consistent with Starlink's regional strategy, as the device costs align with those in neighbouring countries. In Bangladesh, the Starlink device is priced at Rs 33,000, while Bhutan maintains the same Rs 33,000 price point for the equipment. Live Events Industry experts suggest that Starlink's entry into the Indian market could intensify competition in the country's telecommunications sector and provide crucial connectivity solutions for rural areas, educational institutions, and businesses in remote locations. The company's imminent launch comes as India continues to push for digital inclusion and improved internet connectivity across its vast geographical expanse, particularly in areas where traditional internet service providers have struggled to establish reliable networks.
