Round Table on sustainable cities in New Delhi. Great to know Telangana has a green channel for startups who want to bid for Govt. projects.

Dear Mr. Nagaraja Prakasam,

Greetings!

I would like to thank you for taking part in our Freshers’  Induction Programme 2019. Your gracious presence and though provoking speech on “Learn to be an Entrepreneur”  added great value to the programme and made a huge difference and distinction for our freshers.

You have enlightened the young minds by stressing on the importance of hard work and by advising them to ‘look at everything with curiosity’ and face every problem bravely as it will become strength of their lives’.

Dedicated and successful entrepreneurs such as yourself are a great source of inspiration and leave an indelible mark in the young minds.

Thank you so much for your valuable presence and highly motivating speech.

With Best Regards,

V. Selvam

“Why create a single enterprise worth thousand crores….why not a thousand enterprises worth a single crore ?”…..the defining philosophy of our theory of change for positively transforming the craft sector by creating equitable value across stakeholders.
The key component of the narrative at ‘The Craft Catapult’ Delhi Roundtable Meet yesterday led by Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship‘s Startup Oasis where the dialogue panned ground realities, situations, and concerns over the product- market fit, need for appropriate and timely design intervention, effectively countering competition, particularly from the factory made, artisan and stakeholder incomes, long gestation periods and resultant irregular cash flows, craftspeople motivation and orientations, use of technology to maximize process efficiency, ‘one of a kind’ vs ‘volume’ production
There was plenty of cross-learning and education geared towards evolving an ecosystem for creating, incubating, nurturing and accelerating, ethical, eco-friendly, value-oriented businesses by startups working in the craft environment.
