Synopsis: The day will be heavily interactive and will include cases, analysis, presentation and discussions.
In this one-day workshop Mr. Shantanu Bhagwat will share his thoughts, tips and suggestions on entrepreneurship and starting on your own. He will challenge your existing ideas about entrepreneurship and help you realise whether you are cut out to be one.
He will also share his personal experiences in entrepreneurship – from 20 years ago, to the present and try and draw out certain themes that mark successful entrepreneurs.
The workshop will help you ask questions about your business (and innovative ideas) and test them against the harsh filters that VCs use (Mr. Bhagwat is currently a Principal Director with a US-based Fund and has spent more than a decade in venture capital. He is also a personal investor in several start-ups in India)
During the day, we will also look at examples of entrepreneurship from around the world and what makes some entrepreneurs successful several times over (serial entrepreneurs) even as others continue to struggle.
