Delighted to share some of our insights through this article. “Government policies aimed at funding young entrepreneurs, coupled with a rise in academic incubators, are catalysing this growth,” says Richa Bajpai. Further adding, “The majority of student-founders are focusing their efforts in tier-1 cities - with Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi emerging as the hotspots. We have observed a rise in female founders in our funnel since April 2022, accounting for 13-17% of founders in our pipeline.” Full Article can be read here: https://lnkd.in/gAVfQRZr Powering Fearless #Student #Entrepreneurs Challenging the Status Quo!

The surge in student startups across India is driven by colleges, the mainstreaming of startup culture via Shark Tank, and VCs willing to back young founders, including funds specifically for them.

1moRatuni Iahiri is absolutely right. Without mentorship, startups often end up taking three extra rounds to reach the same point that a mentored startup can achieve more efficiently. Mentorship provides guidance, helps avoid common pitfalls, and accelerates growth. It’s not just about saving time; it’s about steering clear of costly mistakes and maximizing potential early on.
