Meera, a Pune-based founder, notices that her bakery's delivery partner often delays orders. Instead of waiting for a perfect solution, she tests a small in-house delivery team in one locality for a month and then adjusts the plan based on the results. Which entrepreneurial trait is she primarily displaying?

She displays experimentation and action orientation. Instead of waiting for a perfect answer, she runs a small pilot in one locality, observes the results and adjusts. This is a typical entrepreneurial trait of learning by doing, not risk aversion or reliance on routine arrangements.

  2. BRisk aversion
  3. CDependence on external authority
  4. DPreference for routine

Explanation

Meera tries a small low-cost pilot and learns from the results before scaling. This is action orientation with experimentation. Risk aversion would mean avoiding any change, and routine preference would mean keeping the existing delivery arrangement.
