Sharing her views on the new programme, Disha Singla, Co-founder of Supreme Incubator says; “In order to boost the startup culture in India, Supreme Incubator has been on a mission to empower early stage startup founders. Throughout our journey we have interacted with thousands of startups. We have seen so many young entrepreneurs in the recent past and we understand that there is a need for the younger lot to be trained and helped. Entrepreneurial skills help students to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. So here we are with an initiative of which students can make the best use.”
The curriculum is inspired by principles from global leading universities and enables students to build 5 unique startup ideas in 5 weeks, learning about different aspects of entrepreneurship as they apply the learnings in real-time.
“While inculcating entrepreneurship skills at a younger age, the students tend to incorporate new global skills and start thinking like a leader. Students benefit by being “innovation ready” through design thinking, communication and collaboration skills that help them invent and build their own careers – whether getting acceptances from the best global universities and colleges , job opportunities in international corporations or building their own startup ventures . The future of work is either being an entrepreneur or intrapreneur. We are expecting some revolutionising innovative business ideas from the younger lot driven by passion. Looking forward to providing the much needed guidance and support and help them find a better route to their dream career,” Tanvi Singla, Co-founder of Supreme Incubator, adds.
