E-summit - The End of New Beginnings

It was on the 22nd and 23rd of December, when the world was busy carrying out their daily chores, a group of young learners were exploring a new side of themselves. With the commencement of the E-summit, a collaboration between R. A. Podar College’s Moneta- one of India’s largest financial fest and Entrepreneur Development Cell, we witnessed a new generation of learners trying to understand the dynamic nature of the word entrepreneurship and what it is like to become one. With the Inauguration ceremony of the event that took place on the 22nd of December, new doors and pathways for a successful career were also opened. The honourable guest for the ceremony, Mr Amey Katkar, the CEO, founder and the brains behind India's leading B2B Digital Marketing firm - The 4P Solutions was just the right person to push and motivate the audience about the journey they were part of and what lies ahead of it. And there began the much anticipated 2-day event of pure learning, lessons and experience.

After the inauguration ceremony, E-summit kick-started with its first segment- Decoding the Art of Entrepreneurship, a seminar where the founder and chief officer of Play and Shine Foundation, a non-profit organization working at the grassroots level with students belonging to underprivileged sections of the society. The entrepreneur took it upon herself to familiarize the audience with the term “social entrepreneur”. The audience was very much intrigued to learn more about this and the speaker welcomed all their doubts with great enthusiasm. This much insightful session was followed by GenZ Entrepreneurs sharing their journey- the second segment. In this interactive session, the audience was presented with 3 different perspectives of 3 young entrepreneurs. The first Entrepreneur being Aditi Surve was leading the charge as a Founder and Chief Executive of an Indian-American premium apparel brand. Vansh Mehrotra, an alumnus of Jai Hindi and the founder of Finschool was the second speaker. He explained to the audience his journey of being an entrepreneur in midst of a possible pandemic. The third speaker for the day was the CEO and founder of Mauka- Sagar Menon. Mauka is an EdTech company that focuses on imparting soft skills to Indian students and professionals. This segment urged and influenced the students to consider being an entrepreneur at an age as young as 21.

New day, new journey. After an informative Day 1, E-summit introduced their third segment- What's my Story? Business Tycoon shares his Success Mantra because each has his own journey. Shashwat Gopal, a business leader who has a variety of titles attached with his name shared his ideology of what it is like to be a Business Leader. As aimed, this session was not only interactive as the audience actively indulged in keeping the conversation going with their interesting question but also very candid since Mr Gopal did not hesitate to share his knowledge and understanding with the enthusiastic young learners who craved more and more information and insights.

And last but not the least, the much-awaited and exciting event Think Tank knocked upon the doors. As they say, there is no innovation and creativity without failure, this event specifically demanded the creativity and innovation of the participants. With Mr Yash HC Dagli and Mr Saurabh Bajpeyee, the founders of 'JusttYou’ and ‘CapitalBoat Holdings’, respectively, Think Tank encouraged the future entrepreneurs to put forth their innovative start-up ideas in front of the talented and established entrepreneurs for it to be judged, intending to reward the best idea of the day with INR 5,000. As Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai took great pride in receiving it, we could sense the happiness of the 1st runner up Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai and the 2nd runner-up H.R. College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai who received INR 3,000 and INR 2,000, respectively. This was E-summit’s way of recognising talent and innovation and persuading them to pursue their ideas.

Coming to the bittersweet moment, the closing ceremony, which marked the presence of Anubhav Dubey, the founder of Chai Sutta Bar, a chain that serves Indian Traditional Kulhad Chai on the bar table which highly resonated with the youth and is innovation at its finest. As the guest declared the H.R. College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai as the best contingent who received INR 10,000 as their prize money, the sheer joy in their voices sounded musical.  E-summit turned out to be a major success and something which young learners shall always cherish but unfortunately, all good things come to an end and with a heavy heart, team E-summit would like to bid goodbye until next time because innovation never stops, does it?
