11 November 2019, India, StartUp Mentors:
The atmosphere in the country is charged with the StartUp fervour. Thanks to the government initiatives like StartUp India, AIC, Tinkering labs, SKILL India and many more. This has resulted in giving the right impetus at educational institutions to encourage entrepreneurship on the campus.
With almost 35% of the population being in the decisive age, one needs to give attention to methods that not only provide financial security personally but also must aid substantial growth to the country’s economy wheel.
Being a regular speaker at educational institutes and events, we find many are tuning to the StartUp grove. The rate of emerging StartUps might grow substantially in the coming future.
Under these circumstances Way2World decided to understand what the GURUs of the ecosystem who have been renowned speakers, mentors and investors, feel the vital pointers for a budding founder to succeed.
Way2World has always been advocating the E3 Principle which would be the yardstick for success. The first step of ideating founders must be to EXPLORE the outcome and its reaction. Product evaluation and market evaluation must be done thoroughly by interacting with a cross section of the market even before one thinks of a POC or to form and entity.
The second important must be to EMPOWER the foreseen entity with right team while working on the compliance. The third must be to build the ENTERPRISE that delivers, what was explored under the empowered team.
