I spent the day of 21st May in a very good company. There couldn't have been a better choice than Anal Jain and Prat Moghe to guide the budding entrepreneurs in our happening country. They have tonnes of experience and a great passion to share it with their younger siblings. The sessions they took were to-the-point and full of ready-to-use advice and tips. Vishal, Samir, Hemir and Niraj added on with their personal stories and the VC perspectives respectively.

Yep , the e-week and all that has stirred some, besides all the hype n hooplah around entrepreneurship,
