Access to Young Talent

I started ideation as a podcast channel like india’s elite podcast channel. While starting creating a podcast content, so we had an thought process of making right questions to the Podcaster feature on it. then be have ready with a lot of questions on that time. We have a great question so how many entrepreneurs should have the same question and then how many student entrepreneur should have the same question kind of thing because the podcast will be enable for an only those who are influencer of Instagram, YouTube or something else. we plan to connect mini Podcasts in all kind of feel like those who have getting success.

Those who have facing failures, all kind of people, all kind of business start-ups and every industry leaders. So we initially started pitching it so we got around 10+ influence for the podcast with us. Then our ideation became very strong. So that we need to initially plan for an business school. Then B idiot, so business school needs lot of proper people do and teach business and know the a real time problem. So that we plan for it, so mentor can directly connect in business school. So that business school Idea changed into a launchpad Idea.

"If you chase Saraswati (Knowledge), Lakshmi (Wealth) will chase you" "Knowledge is Power, Information is Wealth."
