Startup Ideas

Startups are fun.
Teaching Startup Management is greater fun.
How?
Because you see the ideas sprouting in the minds of future entrepreneurs.

Another season of teaching Entrepreneurship and Startup Management for Ghumakkad-the-teacher. Within three hours of launching the subject, my PGDM students were asked to identify an opportunity which could become an idea for a Startup. Most of the students had no prior work-ex. Yet, they could think of startup ideas which showed the following characteristics:

1. It addresses a 'need' of prospective customer or society
2. May not be unique but has potential
3. Rides on innovation
4. Is doable
5. Ideas span across industry sectors
6. Product-based ideas also
7. Social venture ideas
8. Addresses the needs of rural India as well

Here is a summary of some of the 50-odd ideas submitted by the students.

For a teacher who believes in learning-by-doing, it is immensely satisfying when the students apply themselves. Kudos to the Class of 2020. Let your dreams soar. But keep your feet on the ground and do the home work well. This is just the beginning.

CAP stands for continuous assessment plan. There are a series of CAP activities during the semester.

All the best for the upcoming B-Plan Contest.
