Ventures in dating, wedding & relationship management in focus at start-up mentoring session

Entrepreneurs gain insights, business intelligence and industry best practices from successful strategist, mentors & entrepreneurs

Bengaluru-based Innoberator’s much-awaited session on ‘Business of Relationship’, a start-up mentoring programme, saw the participation of interesting ventures in dating, wedding and relationship management, with mentors and successful entrepreneurs, led by strategist MJ Srikant offering key insights, business intelligence and industry best practices on balancing relationship with stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees and the market.

Representatives of start-ups like Wyngit and Paktor spoke about their business journey and sought to clear questions on achieving growth and scale from MJ Srikant and Innoberator’s partners Saroj Patro, Anand Padmanaban and Nanjunda Pratap Palecanda.

New ventures face a multitude of challenges such as securing investment, hiring the right talent, developing trust factor with customers and staying relevant to emerge successful. Leveraging his 18 years of rich experience in strategic consultation and end-to-end integrated communications practice covering several business verticals, MJ Srikant explained to the anxious and eager founders of start-ups, the art and science of building relationship with investors, market and customers, which is crucial for the success of any business.

“Evolving a product that can disrupt the market, backed by a convincing communication campaign, encompassing all platforms, is critical to make an impact in the market and win the trust of consumers. At the same time, constantly engaging the investors to create the value that they expect is an important relationship building exercise,” observed MJ Srikant, also Founder of MJSPR, a strategic advisory company.

Nanjunda Pratap Palecanda, pioneer of such mentoring sessions, was of the view that on most occasions, entrepreneurs faced challenges in securing investments, “In some cases, entrepreneurs may become successful in securing investors. But the next biggest challenge is to keep the investors happy, as most of them expect quick return on investments. Considering the current economic scenario, it is advisable for entrepreneurs to opt for bootstrap financing. Once the product is ready for roll out, investments from outside can be considered.”

Saroj Patro, the financial wizard and founder of P2 Advisors LLP, noted that “the business of relationship is worth US$ 7 billion.” Noting that the scope for new business in the relationship was immense, he added, “The demographic dividend offers plenty of opportunities for new business in relationship. We have seen a good number of start-ups in this space, but business maturity is needed for them to succeed in the market.”

Anand Padmanaban said start-ups wouldn’t succeed without a proper business plan and product strategy, “The biggest barrier is whether you have the right product for the market and whether customers are convinced. Bootstrap start-ups with a great product have succeeded. If your product speaks for itself, then, investors will come to you… Therefore, it is important to have a product ready before approaching investors for funding.”

Wedding photographer Rajesh Pandey and Paktor’s creator Swapna Sitharaman shared their personal experiences on the viability

National STEM Awards 2020:  Discovering STEM Talent

Bengaluru 28 February, 2020. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is a modern day approach to shape India’s future which is fast moving towards being a highly illustrious entity in an increasingly globalised world. However, the country requires to evolve expertise in these fields to compete with the technological revolution. With this clear objective in mind, STEM Learning in association with Rotary JBN, Bengaluru organized India’s biggest and first STEM competition for under- served students of Govt. and Govt- aided schools, the ‘National STEM Awards 2020’. Around 20 states, 200 schools, 400 teachers and 1800 students took part in the competition from all over India, out of which 10 states, 15 schools and 54 students made it to the Finale which was held in the city on 27 February, 2020. Students from 6th to 8th standards participated in the final round, where they had to showcase their skills in categories like Tech Quiz, Science & Mathematics Model Competition and Engineering Tinkering.

Atharva Sawant, Yashraj Dhwri & Kauntey Sawant from JNV Sindhudurg School were declared winners of the Tech Quiz Round; while Khushi, Anjali Sharma & Lovely from GGSS School, Faridabad won the Engineering Tinkering Competition and Muthu Suthis, Madhu Sri & Surya from Vivekananda School, Tirunelveli won the Science & Mathematics Model Competition. Considering that all the students displayed vast talent and zeal, Dr Suresh Mony, Emeritus Jury said the judges found it really difficult to select the winners. He said, “Every child presented something new, something unique. Their innovations were so creative and spell binding that we felt proud to be in the midst of such young talent. “ 

STEM Learning has been advocating for improving the quality of education since years now and this competition intended to do the same, by picking out the best STEM talent from across India. The students were judged on the basis of critical thinking, problem solving and innovative abilities. The students underwent stages like the Cluster Rounds and Zonal Rounds and the winners of the Zonals were then challenged to win the final round on 27th February in Bengaluru.

Ms Simi Anderson, STEM Ambassador (UK), who was one of the esteemed guests during the competition, seemed awed by the matchless and unprecedented talent shown by the children. She praised the mammoth efforts put in by STEM Learning in organizing this competition successfully. She said, “It takes 8 months in UK to conduct such competition at the national level. It’s mind-blowing that STEM Learning did this in 3 weeks.” Echoing the same sentiment, Dr Sameer Hariani, the Chief Guest at the competition said, “This competition is an extremely novel measure by STEM Learning to make the students ready for the future by igniting the scientific temper in them. This is an exceptionally favourable circumstance for these students to make science a child’s play and keep pace with the advancement in the field.”

Speaking about this colossal task of bringing the best STEM minds from pan India under one roof, Ashutosh Pandit, the Founder of STEM Learning said, “The traditional approach of learning facts and figures doesn’t challenge minds and so, students do not get the required opportunities to understand and showcase STEM abilities. We at STEM believe that the students need to gain practical knowledge to learn, explore & enhance their skills. By providing them with this singular opportunity of an all- India competition, we have not just identified the best minds who beat their peers and turned out to be STEM Champs, but have also recognized other young minds who may not have reached the final round, but they did exemplify robust prowess to be titled as the great innovators of the future. We can now almost certainly say that the future of India is rightly in the hands of these extremely talented young children.”

The young minds who proved their mettle during the finale were awarded on 28th February during the ‘Rotary Karnataka CSR Conference 2020’ by the hands of Rotary District Governor Rtn Sameer Hariani. Teachers who have contributed extraordinarily to the field of STEM education were also felicitated during the glittering Award Ceremony.
