This seminar was devided into four session. All that four sessions were hard core of the seminar. It's about student startup and innovation policy which is financially also helpfull to students. Education is not only for getting jobs or earning money, but it should be self entrepreneur ,It should be able to give employments to other.It's about developing our creativity and skills and how to convert into business model, how to be innovative. In this present time, government of Gujarat is supporting 120 students startup.


What is startup ?   

Startup is a young company that is just beginning to develop...This companies offer a product or service that is not currently being offered elsewhere in the market, or that the founders believe is being offered in an inferior manner.

Rahul Bhagchandani gave beautifull example of startup of(ફિંડલા)Prickly Pear Cactus by group of students, they make Jam and power also from prickly Pear Cactus synthesis with sugar. They are earning 50,00,00₹ by saling 20,000 product and that's called the good startup.

To any successful startup, planning requires first, this planning covers three chief points are:.

(1) Focus on problem
Connected with market research

(2)Creating value
What's the exact value of our product? Self vlaue, wealth generate, institutive value, Industrial value or social value etc.

(3)Exit plan
What about me after a year or after 1000 days(approx 3 years later from starting the startup)

(4)when to close
Failure is also an experience

If one student starts a startup at the age of 17 years, doesn't matter he or she may get success or not but by the age of 27, he or she may have experience of three startup and it matters alot. In India, per month, 10,00,000 jobs are required, and that's why startup is necessary and helpfull to students. Mostly engineering college's students can take advantage of this facilities as they are more productive and innovative in concrete things.

We should also define the entrepreneurs and businessman. Remarkable quote of that seminar is taht "Love what you do but, don't fall in love with what you do!" In short, if our means our student's ideas are saleable than government and university is ready to help us but it specially covers the management amd engineering fields. Overall it was knowlegable and interesting seminar about startup and startup awarness.
