Maraş Gündemi – Erdem Genç

Guiding young entrepreneurs with his book 20 Yaşında Patron Olmak (Becoming a Boss at 20), written three years ago, Erdem Genç said: "When you find a good business idea, don't hesitate to put it into practice. And if you develop that business with love, success will surely come. And remember, money isn't everything — everything is time and happiness."

While a mechanical engineering student at Yıldız Technical University, Erdem Genç was elected president of the university's Rock Club and began organizing concerts on campus; later, at 20, he founded his own company. Having grown its turnover to millions of dollars over the years, Genç, now 33, quickly became a well-known businessman. The young businessman also published a book titled 20 Yaşında Patron Olmak, sharing the experience he gained over the years with entrepreneurs. Genç, who is extremely warm towards his employees and breaks the stereotypical image of a boss, met with Yaşar University students and told his success story.
