    As an engineering graduate, I’ve always been driven by entrepreneurship. That’s why I pursued a course in product development, which led me to launch my own coffee brand, Coffee NAD. I was inspired by my grandparents, who were successful entrepreneurs for over 30 years, managing multiple businesses. However, I struggled with finding people who could guide me on how to build a brand which is why I chose to pursue PGCP in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from MAHE. Manipal has always been known for excellent education. It provided me with a hybrid education model where I could collaborate while continuing my online education.

    I am an architect from Chennai and have handled over 90 projects in my career. While strong technically, I joined the entrepreneurship program to improve business, marketing, lead generation, and financial skills. As an entrepreneur in architecture, it’s challenging to identify and reach the right target audience amidst tough competition. Since I do not have a family business background, MAHE’s PGCP in Entrepreneurship and Innovation helped me gain strong business skills that I previously lacked. The course has significantly improved my understanding of market criteria, competition, and ways to position my company to come out on top.

    I have a background in finance in the automobile industry but want to launch a clothing brand, which is still in the ideation phase. It is a very vast market and extremely risky, but also highly profitable if it succeeds. I researched various courses but MAHE’s PGCP in Entrepreneurship and Innovation aligned with my goals. The program provided me with opportunities such as interactions with investors, venture capitalists, and founders of other companies, unlike other courses that mainly focus on theoretical knowledge. I understood how various business models work and how to gain an edge over competitors. Our mentors provided us with comprehensive case studies which helped me develop a growth mindset and the skills to meet investor expectations. The course pushed me towards execution, emphasizing that planning is a crucial step for successful implementation.

    A Botanist by training, I specialize in Molecular Biology and Genomics. My startup aims in developing personalized interventions to identify causes of premature deaths and promote healthy longevity by integrating ML, Biology, and Genomics. For me, entrepreneurship is neither a cakewalk nor impossible. I believe that it requires passion, consistent effort, and adaptability. My 6 years in business taught me development but I lacked the knowledge of market-fit, delivery strategy, and revenue generation. I chose MAHE’s PGCP in Entrepreneurship and Innovation to overcome this challenge. It addressed my need to understand the business comprehensively beyond management, from ideation to delivering value to consumers.

    I am developing a startup called Astro G, an AI-first, agent-driven application. The problem we are trying to address is the uncertainty caused by a saturated market of astrologers and its unorganized nature. Our app aims to provide a consistent ‘buddy’ through life by using AI and LLM models. Many entrepreneurs fail because they do not follow processes.
