Woxsen’s Center for Executive Education and Consulting (CEEC), in collaboration with The Indus Entrepreneurs Hyderabad Chapter (TiE), conducted the first-of-its-kind ‘StartUp Accelerator Workshop’ for budding entrepreneurs at the Woxsen School of Business campus near Hyderabad. The workshop took 20 participants through the journey of an entrepreneurship venture – from the germination of the idea to successful commercialization. The mentors comprised of successful entrepreneurs, angel investors, faculty from Woxsen’s School of Business and TiE charter members.
The StartUp Accelerator program spanned six days: the first three days dwelled on identification & validation of a business opportunity, defining the target audience & building a robust go-to-market plan and constructing the business plan. Following an interval of the work-week, the next three days focused on building the start-up team, setting the organization’s structure & culture, exploring funding opportunities, commencing commercial activities and monitoring progress objectively.
The distinguished pool of mentors included Mr. Suresh Challa, Mr. Pradeep Mittal and Mr. Syama Peela of TiE, Mr. Sanjay Jesrani of Go North Ventures, Ms. Ekta Bahl of Samvad Partners, Dr. Wandemberg, Prof. Arvind Subramanyam and Dr. Apurva Sanaria of Woxsen School of Business. The event was coordinated by Ms. Sreedevi Devireddy of TiE.
The state-of-the-art 200-acre Woxsen campus hosted the participants and mentors over the six days, making their experience truly immersive and memorable.
