Jishu Dutta

Founder & CEO SIKHO INDIA

Name: Jishu Dutta
Occupation: Entrepreneur, Author, Public speaker, Founder of Sikho India

Profile Summary:
I am Jishu Dutta, a young entrepreneur who embarked on the journey of entrepreneurship at the age of 16. Over the years, I have founded and operated multiple ventures, experiencing both failures and successes along the way. My diverse entrepreneurial journey has shaped me into a passionate advocate for self-belief, innovation, and empowering the youth of India to become future-ready.

Entrepreneurship Journey:
My entrepreneurial journey began with the launch of my first e-commerce store at the tender age of 16. This initial foray into business provided me with valuable insights and lessons that laid the foundation for my future endeavors. Throughout the years, I have explored various industries, from tech startups to retail ventures, and have experienced the highs of success and the lows of failure. These experiences have instilled in me a deep understanding of the dynamics of business and the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.

Authorship:
In addition to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I am the author of a book titled "You Are Enough to Change the World." This book is a reflection of my personal journey and is aimed at inspiring individuals, especially young aspiring entrepreneurs, to believe in themselves and harness their potential to make a positive impact on the world. It shares my experiences, the hurdles I've faced, and the valuable lessons I've learned, all with the goal of motivating and empowering others.

Founder of Sikho India:
Currently, I am the founder of Sikho India, a platform dedicated to empowering the youth of India and preparing them for a brighter future. Sikho India offers a range of services, including training and internship opportunities for students, career counseling, and interview preparation training. My vision for Sikho India is to bridge the gap between traditional education and the practical skills required in today's rapidly evolving job market. I am committed to nurturing the next generation of Indian talent, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their chosen fields.

Mission:
My primary mission is to make the Indian generation future-ready. I firmly believe that with the right guidance, mentorship, and opportunities, the youth of India can not only realize their full potential but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of the nation. Through Sikho India and my book, I aspire to be a catalyst for positive change, empowering young minds to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams with determination.

I am committed to continuous learning, innovation, and making a lasting impact on the entrepreneurial and educational landscape in India.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
