Riding out the storm with grit R. Natarajan Advisor 04 | Advisor's perspective

 

The year started out being extremely cautious and worrisome for everyone, with concerns aplenty about how things would need to reshape themselves into what was the ‘new normal’. While the previous year had seen Udhyam make leaps and bounds both across Shiksha and Vyapaar, prospects seemed bleak in the wake of the first wave. Both streams evolved heavily around in-person and on-ground implementation. Given the pandemic, this entire mode of operation needed to be re-evaluated. While it took the teams awhile to re-orient and adapt, they did manage to do so with aplomb. Necessity truly is the mother of invention, and the team at Udhyam demonstrated that multiple times over in the last year

Shiksha went on to sign seven government partnerships in addition to the existing two, to further scale their Entrepreneurial Mindsets program for the youth. Today the Shiksha Entrepreneurial Mindsets program is available to students across nine states in the country. They developed a technology based product, Fundoo, in collaboration with UNICEF, that further took the vision forward and helped build 21st century skills. Shiksha’s experiment with entrepreneurship incubation with ITI students in Haryana has shown very promising green shoots, and promises to be a new stream of work to back in the coming year.
