Construkt Open Mic (Finale)

To aspiring entrepreneurs, who at some point of time thought of starting up but got overwhelmed by the loads of contraditing gyaan, jargon and processes of the industry. This session is to provide some ready made raw material to get started without any risk involved by introducing of an Idea book - Startup Sparks : Ideas visualized as Designs.
It’s okay to take baby steps , but give it a couple of shots and who knows you may hit the bull’s eye! And No, you don’t Need to be a technologist to startup!

Outline

With this session, by the means of introducing my new book - Startup Sparks , I wish to remind aspiring entrepreneurs about their power of creation , regardless of technology and so called qualifications.

My goal with “Startup Sparks” is to share some startup ideas and create an actionable guide for aspiring entrepreneurs. Having experience of both - being in the corporate as well as startup community , I came across many people with great skills but while some needed motivation, other’s needed someone to ideate and paint the picture. Being an ideator & designer has helped me in terms of conceptualizing my ideas into something presentable, which gives a huge morale boost to get started. That’s what I am here to share with all those who need it.

Having something visual or logical helps one validate their idea, be it a Mock up, MVP (minimum viable product) or even a Business Model Canvas at times. This book has some of my own ideas that I have designed from scratch and are readily available for anyone who relates with them to get started.

What I wish to convey through this initiative is that -
'Entrepreneurship is something you don’t need to qualify any criteria for, it comes from within and there is no good or bad time. It can make you very strong if you continue your journey even if the routes change from time to time.‛

Requirements

It would be great to have the audience pitch some problems & solution ideas , so as to make the virtual book a Real experience.
