Udbhav Associates is proud to announce Illuminate! is a series of pre-Eureka! one-day Workshops on Entrepreneurship across India, in collaboration with E-Cell IIT-B. These workshops will precede E-Cell IIT Bombay’s flagship annual event, “Eureka!” – the annual B-Plan competition to encourage youth towards entrepreneurship

The series of zonal business plan workshops in various cities across India over a period of several weeks are aimed at  spreading awareness about entrepreneurship among students and young professionals and equip them with the skills, tools and advice to help realise their entrepreneurial ambitions.

The workshops will be focused on Business Plan writing skills and techniques. They will include the intricacies of going from an idea to a full-fledged successful enterprise.  These highly interactive sessions will include case-studies, analysis, samples, presentations and discussions and will be led by Mr Shantanu Bhagwat, noted Venture Investor and Entrepreneur.

Participants at these workshops will be encouraged to write and submit their business plans to Eureka!

Eureka! has been independently recognised as Asia’s largest Business Plan Competition by CNN and Thomson Reuters. Being a platform of this magnitude, participation in pre-Eureka workshops and Eureka! is also expected to provide considerable networking opportunities with other entrepreneurs, mentors and investors.

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.
