Description

The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In this course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana’s synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.There are now thousands of entrepreneurs in India, and many more will get bitten by the entrepreneurial bug in due course. And from what I know of the entrepreneurial psyche, it is a path that once you set on it, is hard to turn back. Failures, setbacks, disappointments notwithstanding, entrepreneurs tend to continue to want to build on their dreams.India’s greatest achievement in the last decade has been the consistent unleashing of the entrepreneurial movement. The risk tolerance of the Indian population has increased. No longer is it the Holy Grail to lust after fat salaries at multi-nationals. The dreams of building something of their own seduce people in India, even if that implies a built-in risk of failure.This socio-cultural change, I believe, is irreversible.And it is in the hands of these entrepreneurs that India’s future squarely rests. I believe, the depth of knowledge of how to build a business from scratch with customers, revenues, and profits is rapidly increasing in India. There will be hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs – perhaps not heavily venture-funded ones, but nonetheless, entrepreneurs with sustainable businesses. During this course, I will be teaching about some of the biggest entrepreneurship success stories out of India. We will have in-depth conversations around the entrepreneur journeys of several of India’s most successful founders as well as entrepreneurs from the far-reaching corners of the county.Designed for tech entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs with an interest in India, this course provides lessons learned and best advice from several prosperous Indian entrepreneurs in their own words.The 1Mby1M courses are all heavily based on interview-based case studies on Innovation, Business Models, Go To Market Strategies, Validation Principles, and various other nuances of an entrepreneur's journey. We offer extensive opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn the lessons from the trenches from successful entrepreneurs who have done it before and Investors who support their ambition.
