Bringing Entrepreneurship Education to Schools and Youth

During the unprecedented pandemic, Shivani and Shivesh leveraged their entrepreneurial expertise to adapt to the emerging situation. While many will feel disheartened by such a blow, these pioneering individuals saw the opportunities of going online and started working on making the best out of the given situation. Owing to the fact that they are predominantly operating online, they were also able to pull in more resources such as getting the best mentors in the industry for their students. And as of now, ThinkStartup has Professors from Ivy league Universities, Unicorn Founders and Venture Capital investors interacting with their students as guest speakers.

Adding more about their operations and its uniqueness, Shivesh says, “Our students work on real life hands on projects that prepare them to succeed in the real world. We look at entrepreneurship from a competency perspective and there are multiple skills that are important to be successful as an entrepreneur. We engrain these entrepreneurial skills into the students. So, we have structured our courses around these competencies and skills while also leaving room to nurture the student’s innate passion and creativity. We are also rolling out entrepreneurship clubs and labs for schools where the students will be trained on startup ideation, product designing and prototyping, business modeling, marketing, new age technologies and financial literacy to mention a few.”
