In his valedictory address at the Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi Techceleration event, Mr. Hareesh Prabhu, Strategy & Transformation Leader at Philips Innovation Campus Bengaluru, shared valuable insights, acknowledging the event as an enriching learning experience and expressing interest in collaborating with KDEM on various fronts. Mr. Prabhu emphasized the importance of believing in one's own ideas as a starting point for overcoming competition. This perspective resonates with the entrepreneurial spirit prevalent in the HDB cluster, where fostering a belief in innovative ideas is crucial for the growth of startups and businesses. Discussing the role of mistakes in the learning process, he pointed out that while making and learning from one's own mistakes is beneficial, it is equally important to learn from the mistakes of others. This approach can be instrumental for startups and educational institutions in the HDB cluster, encouraging a culture of shared learning and experience. On the topic of industry-academia collaboration, Mr. Prabhu stressed the need for self-learning, given the rapid pace of change in the industry which academic curricula may not always keep up with. This insight highlights an area for further development in the HDB cluster, suggesting an emphasis on continuous learning and adaptability among professionals and students to stay abreast of industry advancements. Lastly, Mr. Prabhu advocated for the promotion of achievements and successes on social media, noting its power to reach a wider audience. This strategy is pertinent for the HDB cluster, as showcasing its successes can enhance its visibility and attract more talent, investment, and collaboration opportunities. These points from Mr. Prabhu not only align with ongoing efforts in the HDB cluster but also outline areas for further enhancement, particularly in fostering a culture of belief in innovation, learning from a broader spectrum of experiences, self-driven education, and leveraging social media for wider recognition and growth.

Over the last two years, I have had the opportunity to watch twenty one Entrepreneurs-in-Residence at The Circle India build the school of their dreams. At different points in their journey, I have seen them take a spark, an idea, a belief, and turn into immense potential. I have seen them imagine and reimagine learning spaces. I have seen them believe, unequivocally, in the transformative power of schools. In the most inspiring and exciting ways, I have seen them design, launch, and run their own schools and after-school programs - and I have seen them reinvent the idea of school in the process. Today, these Entrepreneurs are running small schools in Jalalabad, Akbarpur, and Dhun. They’re building project-based, experiential schools in rural Punjab. They’re running community centres and nature-based programs in Pune and Bangalore. They’re running arts and media fellowships in Goa and Delhi. They’re working with at-risk students across rural Karnataka. And they’re building a strong community of entrepreneurs, one that is growing each year.  I am so excited, inspired, and reassured, that more and more people are choosing to do the important and challenging work of building schools and after-school programs that really reinvent education. And I am hopeful, that as you read this, you are thinking of starting your own school too. I have heard the incredible team at The Circle describe what they do as the work of “building institutions that are a microcosm of a better world”. If the idea of disrupting, reinventing, and building towards a better world sounds exciting, apply to be a part of the next cohort of Entrepreneurs-in-Residence here - https://lnkd.in/dYDX9Nfx

🎉 Exciting News Alert!! Our team, consisting of Anish Das, Narender singh, Divyansh Sharma, and myself, triumphed at the "Bidding Business Plan" competition hosted by Finnexia IIIT Delhi, the finance club of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi!! Starting with a virtual ₹1 crore, we battled through two intense bidding rounds, strategically acquiring resources. In the first round, we secured the lucrative FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) domain. The second round saw us snatch up skilled Labor. But in round 3, where we had to make the most of what we acquired, it was our innovative solution, "Dish Dash," that truly stole the show. This subscription-based cloud kitchen service caters to busy individuals craving healthy, home-cooked meals, delivered right to their doorstep. We go beyond just food; Dish Dash also addresses social and environmental concerns by collecting leftover food and plastic packaging for responsible disposal and recycling, aiming to feed stray animals. ♻️ Targeting PG residents and working professionals seeking nutritious meals without the hassle of cooking, Dish Dash resonated with the judges.  Then guess what? We clinched the top prize, taking home ₹15,000! ✨ This competition was an incredible learning experience, fostering teamwork and pushing us to our limits. We're proud of our accomplishment and grateful for the platform to showcase our entrepreneurial spirit. A huge thank you to Finnexia and IIIT Delhi for organizing such an engaging event. Here's to many more adventures and successes on our startup journey! P.S.
