Entrepreneurship

The Entrepreneurship related track of The Goa Project 2016

This year (2016) The Goa Project features a separate track on Entrepreneurship.

Any form of Entrepreneurship is not easy. But there are specific sectors that are more challenging than the others. If you are trying to build a sustainable organization in a difficult and / or unglamorous market, this is a great opportunity to show case it to the world. Please come and share your success stories, failures, learnings and experiences.

Some examples (but not limited to) are:

  1.   Creative entrepreneurs  in design / performing arts / social impact space

  2.   Consumer facing business that is self-sustainable and profitable

  3.   Sectors like infrastructure, waste management, renewable energy, engineering, agri-food..

  4.   The tragedy of the commons

  5.   Useful technologies that require behavioural change / have poor adoption curves..

  6.   Developing markets outside India  

  7.   Difficult to monetize sectors such as music or entertainment

  8.   Any thing else and more..

The emphasis is not really on the sector or even the problem-opportunity-solution. Tell us how you are cracking the challenges of adoption, sustainability and scalability. Even if it is Work in Progress, there is a lot we can all learn from you.

Submitted Jan 4, 2016

Technical level: Beginner

This session will introduce TATVA; a new organisation based in Goa that promotes and celebrates conscious self exploration, emotional vulnerability and authenticity. TATVA’s multidisciplinary approach to emotional wellness will give the atendees an opportunity to explore the relationships between mental health awareness, creative expression and travel experiences.

Outline

The session will focus on the rewards of cultivating a sense of curiosity about our selves and our lives through psychotherapy and contemplation of questions like: How do we bring a sense of immensity, vastness and calm in our lives? How do we create lasting meaning and purpose? How can we be more present and engaged in our relationships and how can we further enrich our lives and the lives of other people? The importance of creating safe and engaging spaces for dialogue, process, and self understanding will be dicussed in the context of how we relate to ourselves and the world. Our framework is designed to make emotional wellness more open, collaborative, inclusive and far reaching.
