The students of Class XII had the privilege of interacting with Shri Srikant Sastri, a pioneer of start up ideas in India and the President of TiE Delhi-NCR on 11 April 2023. The topic of the discussion was  ‘The Joys of Entrepreneurship – Not just a delightful career option, but also becoming a job creator’.  Shri Sastri shared his experiences and guided the students about the avenues they could look for to be successful in life.

Shri Sastri in his inspiring address, discussed the term entrepreneurship at length and shared his thoughts on entrepreneurship which broadly covered three domains; ‘Future belongs to you’, ‘Come out of your comfort zone’, and ‘Become a change maker.’ He also presented a copy of his book ‘The Ventilator Project’ to Ms Priyanka Barara, Principal.

He added that passion, will to accomplish, ability to network and persuade, optimism, self confidence, creativity and risk taking ability are the essential  attributes  to become an Entrepreneur. He encouraged students to start early at the age of 17 and gather knowledge from everywhere. He also satiated the queries of the students  related to his entrepreneurship journey with his  thoughtful, inspiring and  reflective answers. It was indeed an enriching and insightful session.
