I have been in the area of higher education for more than 12 years. Though I don't have a specialization in the entrepreneurship area but I took advantage of the lockdown period, and go through with lots of literature review on entrepreneurship(as I'm also interested in research areas) and realized that it requires lots of skill and knowledge regarding finance, marketing, advertisements, research & developments, human resource management, organizational behavior, and many more...so I am looking forward to learn all these skills virtually at one platform from the distinguished faculties and get chance to transform my ideas and dreams into reality.  Cheers :)

I am a BA Interior Design graduate in the university Istituto Europeo di Design of Milan, Italy but for a while I knew that Interior Design isn’t the profession I would like to continue pursuing. This is because my ideas of a career in design were far from the monotone reality I experienced while working for a Bulgarian Interior design company, doing as a junior designer technical drawings all day long in front of the computer.

Additionally, I have experience in starting two of my own businesses as well as marketing and advertisement in the previous two years. I was, unfortunately, missing some components in order to make a business successful and known by the right target groups and this is why I decided to start this course. I am extremely excited to learn and discover the Entrepreneur Edge course, meet like-minded individuals and build up my knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
We have been chasing the unknown since childhood, and it is rightly said, starting a business can be both intimidating and scary.
A lot of ideas pop up, then goes a lot of thinking into it, but somehow those just die due to lack of the know-how of next steps and necessary structure. The purpose of joining this course is to develop an understanding of the entrepreneurship framework, learn from the faculty, take guidance from mentors, and brainstorm with other participants. I don't wish to plan too early, I am sure this course will give me enough motivation and hints to the what, where and how of the unknown I wish to dive into.
Fortunate to represent companies like Microsoft, Accenture, TCS, and some mid and small sized firms in the last 15 and a half years in the software industry. If customer facing technologies like CRM excite you then I will be glad to connect separately and discuss the possibilities that you may have in mind.
Thank you LBS, best wishes to all, and look forward to connecting, learning, and growing together.

I am a digital entrepreneur, projecting and managing online structures, based (mostly) in London for the last 6 years. After a MSc in finance and working for Bloomberg, I have decided to luckily take the risk and follow a career in the technology field, creating/designing several digital platforms in different sectors.

Now, I want to promote to investors one of my fast growing business and bring to life a new project that I have just started.

I am currently building a marketplace online platform, taking this course as an opportunity to organize my ideas on this new entrepreneurial adventure and to  discover new business opportunities.

I am also involved in the development of a CBD business franchising. CBD Industry is growing significantly all over the world, for this reason, I want to refine my proposal to investors about this commerce I have started leading on the last year. This business has now 9 high street shops and 2 online shops.

So, I decided to take this course to help me in both challenges and now I am sure that I have made the right decision.

Passionate about Food and Beverage Processing Sector

Hello from India to this diverse group. Glad to see so many peers who are passionate to become successful entrepreneurs in future.

I'm a food technologist with about 20 yrs experience in Indian Food and Beverage Processing Sector with global exposure. I have worked in some big companies like PepsiCo India, Marico India, Heritage Foods etc before becoming an entrepreneur about 9 yrs back. I now consult to small and medium scale companies on various processing and packaging concepts / technologies from concept to commissioning.

Was a co-founder for a startup a few years back where we launched India's first baby food brand called Happibo. My role was more on technical side while other co-founders were responsible for go to market strategy, marketing and finance. Due to lack of focus / priority, we closed down the business during covid lockdown after nearly 3 yrs of operation.

Reason behind joining this course is to learn and implement another business idea about which I have been thinking for the last few months.

Look forward to interacting with all of you over the next 12 weeks and in future.

Best of luck to all of us.

Hey team, nice to meet you all

I'm 27, living in London, and I just said bye (hopefully forever!) to the corporate/professional world. I've always wanted to start my own business, and the start-up I was working for has just been acquired by my old company (Accenture), so I thought rather than going full circle, take a leap of faith and follow something that will give me much more satisfaction and hopefully add value to others too.

Very briefly: I completed my Masters in Chemical Engineering at Imperial in 2015, started my career at Accenture for 2.5 years (focusing mainly within Financial Services moving into Robotics and AI), then moved to a Data & AI Consulting start-up for 2.5 years (again within Financial Services with a focus on Behavioural Change Design). As of this week, I'm trying to start a business!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Mumbai, Class of 2006, where I won two scholarships from Sir Ratan Tata and JRD Tata Trusts, a national level 3rd prize from Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE) for project design, did internship with Hindustan Unilever Limited and got placed at campus as Management Trainee at Huntsman, where I received training on ‘market extension’ by experts at Huntsman’s global HQ in Brussels and assisted company’s senior management on projects related to marketing, communications, issues / industry association management.

After working in chemical industry for five years, I took a sabbatical; briefly after which I joined my father in his management consulting practise where I am working on building a management consulting startup powered by technology that will have gig consultants offering management advice to large, medium and small corporations around the world. I got interested in this program last year but due to paucity of time, I kept on skipping it until pandemic struck and forced me to work from home.

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe in Lockdown..

It was so nice to read everyone's journies  - so different yet a commonality to bring us all altogether and learn, grow & develop...

Having been inspired by the likes of Global Citizen, Give India, Gates Foundation, & Goodera -  it dawned on me that having spent 20 years working in the Private Sector, there are some 800m people everyday that don't have access to basic human rights, which has been made worse by the impact of Covid-19. This led me to realise that, ‘we make a living by what we have, but make a life by what we give’, and that this life must be used to also serve others.  After taking some time to evaluate my future career path,  I have decided to combine my passions –  Philanthropy, Human Rights  & the SDGs to create 8BN  - A Conduit & Enabler that will work with Individuals & Organisaitions around the world on how they can align themselves to the UN's Global Goals and in turn making the World a Better Place. I am hoping that this course will give me all the knowledge and tools to be able to set up 8BN over the course of the coming months.

I look forward to connecting with as many of you as possible over the coming weeks..

Hi everyone,

I'm Nilesh Joshi, based out of Pune, India. I'm working as a Director in an IT company called as Brillio Technologies and I'm starting a new practice in this organization. While starting my own venture is very much the plan in coming years, starting new practice in my current organization has been a similar journey with single handedly driving the practice objective, solution and GTM. Apparently just when I was struggling to bring all these things together I came across this course which I thought would help to bring the structured approach than shooting in the dark. I'm absolutely thrilled to learn what my other friends in the course are also thinking and trying to build. Looking forward.
-Nilesh
