Shreya Ghodawat, a young entrepreneur from Pune, started her first business at the age of 17 and collaborated with brands for her second startup. She focused on sustainability and conducted research in Southeast Asia, where she travelled and wrote about her experiences. Her goal was democratical consistency, and despite facing losses, she emphasized that entrepreneurship provides the freedom to make your own path and build networks with peers.  On the other hand, Sangeeta Kamat started her first business venture at 25 and found the freedom to pursue her passion after becoming a widow. She learned from bankruptcy in her 30s and advised that having a clear value of the idea, knowing the target audience, and finances are critical to a successful business. A total of 25 “studentpreneurs”, 20 faculty and 70 students attended the programme.

They highlighted that passion, hard work, and dedication are critical to building a successful business. Additionally, having a clear vision, knowing the target audience and finances, and learning from failures are crucial components of entrepreneurship.
