Entrepreneurship is the driving force behind the growth of a nation, and last week, I was amazed to see how Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India contributes towards building that force!

Joining eChai Ventures' 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 at EDII's 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 gave me a glimpse of the passion and talent of tomorrow's entrepreneurs, currently being trained at EDII. Their questions and active participation convinced me that our startups of tomorrow are going to be even more successful and transformational for our nation.

Hats off to the management, faculty, and staff of EDII for creating an atmosphere and academic experience that inspires and nurtures our business leaders of tomorrow.

Being a startup entrepreneur is far from easy, as I've realized from my experience at Biziverse.

You must excel at making the product, managing finances, ensuring compliance, motivating your team, what not. One mistake and you face a disproportionately large punishment.

You cannot even expect support from the society. Some may look at you as a fool despite your multi role excellence everyday, or as an entitled "seth" even as you face nightmares of how to manage your next payroll. To them and to others, you must maintain the facade of "sab theek thaak hai" (everything's great).

This is where I realize the value of these three kinds of people: (1) Co-founders, as they share and lighten the challenges; (2) Investors, as they truly wish you well and help solve the critical challenge of finances, and (3) Startup communities like eChai Ventures, as you gain inspiration and wisdom from fellow entrepreneurs and their similar experiences.

We must realize and appreciate the roles of these three support sources, and even give back and give forward as much as we can! 😊

Conversations with startup founders can be so jam-packed with energy, insights, and ideas! And these are even richer in a casual setting, like at today's Social event by eChai Ventures.

It was a pleasure getting to know you,

Janvi Tiwari
