    • Converting the idea into a sound business plan

    • Developing the marketing and sales plans

    • Staffing the positions with the right personnel

    • Foundations of finance

    • Funding the venture and managing cash flows

    • Converting the start-up into a success story

Two of the workshop mentors fine-tune the business strategies of the participants

Among the eminent mentors at the workshop were Syama Peela and Viiveck Verma of TiE-Hyderabad, Sanjay Jesrani of Go North Ventures, Sreekanth of Hyderabad Angels, Suresh Reddy of Lycos, Bharat Lingam of Purple Talk, Bhanu Cherukuri of Cherukuri Ventures and the faculty team from Woxsen – J. C. Wandemberg, Arvind Subramanyam, Costas Andriopoulos, Manto Gotsi, Ramasubramanian, Apurva Sanaria and Vikas Mehta. What a delightful blend of businesspeople and academicians!
