 Hi, good evening everyone. This is Abhijeet and very happy to welcome all of you here this evening. We are today in the Misfits 2.0. Misfits is an initiative we started to find the most impactful change makers from South Asia. We have some phenomenal partners backing us this year too and we're welcoming all of you to the second edition of Misfits. We started with the thought of conducting a virtual pitch event that happens across 15 regions in South Asia and a platform for some phenomenal social entrepreneurs, innovators like you out there who can connect network with each other and expand their horizons and really showcase the phenomenal work that all of you have been doing. Misfits though it started with a pitch event, it's not just another pitch event. We started building a community and which focuses on having a global footprint that goes across South Asia is highly impact focused bringing together entrepreneurs like you who creating a better future for all of us and seeding ecosystems will be through the phenomenal partners that are on board with us in these regional sessions and not just that the community ensures that we have a sustainability aspect built into it and we reach out to as many people as possible and create new social entrepreneurs that are building the future with all of us. These are the focus regions that we started with and again this year we're going across all of them virtually and today we are in the central region in and around Nagpur and very happy to welcome so many people who turned up today for the session. All of this is not possible by one team alone. There are phenomenal partners that we are thankful for who have been supporting us in every possible ways to reach out to support entrepreneurs and really engage with them through different initiatives that they run so we highly, highly thankful to all of them who have been supporting us and this year. We are proudly powered by Crowdera Impact Board and ESL I am Tritchie along with the phenomenal team behind my impact who is the co-organizer with us this year and with that let me give you a brief background into Ruksh as an organization. We are primarily a think tank that's been seeding innovation ecosystems we started as a non-profit organization and with the sole purpose that there needs to be democratization of knowledge sharing in regional ecosystems and we see that every when it comes to social entrepreneurs every region has its own set of problems and its own set of solutions and that's where we thought of building that community which supports each other actively. We have this saying within the organization that it's not just about ideas but about making those ideas happen. All of us we talk so many ideas out there every other day every other moment we have something or the other happening inside our heads but what do we do to take action on that and that's exactly why we as Ruksh are helping entrepreneurs in every possible ways and means to support them in making their ideas happen and this entire community enables us to do so. Now with that we have an amazing team from NowZone that will take a quick wellness session for all of us. So asking the team from NowZone to take over. Team NowZone are you there? If you're unable to mute please raise your hand and we can unmute you. Amar I see you there but I don't see your team. Raja is there Raja is there he is Raja Yes thank you so much for allowing me to unmute. I've been trying so hard to unmute myself. Yeah very good evening all. I hope I'm all of you. So greetings from NowZone and to Ms. Fitz team. Today we have been so delighted to join you all for this session and thank you Ms. Fitz for this event to organize and we had a bunch of participants last evening so I hope you all are very excited to join the session. So I would like to take over from the a little bit from the previous event and carry along. So in the last week's session we have been practicing a couple of stretches and breathing exercises to support yourself to be in the now. So NowZone is mostly based upon the yogic Buddhist and current scientific researchers to bring all of us to be in the now moment because we are all engaged into different perspectives of life. So these quick exercises and breathing practices would help you in bringing yourself to be in the now so you will be more practically focused and enjoying the moment. So coming back to the previous session we conducted a couple of breathing practices in which one was abdominal breathing. Currently in this very stressful life or the modern lifestyle we are we have almost forgot how to how to breathe properly. So the usual way of breathing is either shift thoracic breathing or clavicular breathing but the right way of breathing is your abdominal breathing. So we'll start with that. So I would like to ask you all to sit comfortably sit up straight whether you are in a chair or you are sitting in a in a black space. Very keep yourself on a cross leg because sitting on a chair ensure your feet are placed on the floor your hands are on your lap so that picking the palms up or palms on your lap your spine right try not to just open your chest but also your lumbar spine so that you actually push your spine upright from the base of it and try to keep your chin in parallel to your shoulders and the neck so that you feel an extension of the back of the neck. If possible I request all of you to keep your videos on so that I can at least monitor yourself and see how your posture is looking. Thank you so much Richa for the Suthamani camera. So I hope you're all sitting comfortable and straight. So try to keep yourself relaxed throughout the practice and focus on the instructions and the practices. So I'll initially show you what we have been practicing last and and what we need to be practicing today. So we have been practicing abdominal breathing to do that just if required you can place your palms on the abdomen or not you can just stay practicing on yourself. So first practice bring your awareness and focus on chair abdomen and while inhaling try to expand your abdomen like a belly exhale your belly goes. So I'm not using my chest, I'm using only my abdomen right inhale abdomen out and exhale abdomen in. Yep exhale so this is belly breathing and we're going to impart this belly breathing alongside the chest breathing so we inhale at most amount of air so that we have a proper control on our breath. So after that we are inhaling toward abdomen and again now I'm going to inhale into my chest. So I have the fullest amount of air in my abdomen and then exhaling slowly with your proper control on it. So this is one and the next practice would be we'll be inhaling to our nose and while exhaling we'll be making a pout on our lips like like an O and we have to blow the air through the through the pout like we are blowing a candle right and make a pout on your lips and blow the air through it. So try to make the exhale as long as you can. So these are the two simple practices we'll be practicing. Before that I would like to give a warm up to our body so that our body gets along with the practices. So for that if you're sitting on a flat surface you can hold on to your knees if you are sitting on a chair also you can hold on to your knees or the side of the chairs. Okay so inhale and raise your arms up so take your left arm place it on your right knee inhale left arm up and exhale arch to the side. So you feel an extension through the side of the torso stretch try to keep it just open and looking up to the ceiling breathe we'll be holding this posture for the next five counts try to hold the stretch feel the stretch breathe three two one inhale stretch up stretch and exhale change your side your hand your left arm to your right knee and your right arm up stretch up and as you exhale to your opposite side feel the extension on the side of the torso try not to hunch your back forward try to keep it just open looking up to the ceiling stretch hold it for a moment three two and one inhale stretch up and exhale so um and another practice would be the same we'll be crossing our hands over your one arm to the side your left arm or your right arm to your left knee and the left arm at the back inhale and exhale just twist your spine so that you look at the back of your side okay there so this activates your spinal cord try to twist more with every exhalation hold there for three two more but inhale back to center and your left arm to your right knee your right arm to the back inhale and exhale so it's all there with every exhalation try to twist more breathe all the posture but not your breath try to keep breathing three two and one inhale slowly back to center hope your sides and the back and the frontal of your chest is opened and warmed up so for the practice of the day we'll be practicing two practices one would be abdominal breathing and the next would be chest breathing of all together and we'll be doing the first lip breathing again sit up straight your chest open shoulders are relaxed hands on your laps the chin in parallel with your shoulders take a deep breath in exhale completely another deep breath in we are just warming us up exhale completely now for the practice if required you can place your palm on your abdomen you can watch me uh watch me while practicing inhale abdomen out exhale abdomen just abdominal breathing keep your focus on your abdomen your awareness on your breath try to breathe normally without any hope without any tension without any stress last time inhale up to me now exhale up to me now we'll combine abdominal breathing alongside the chest breathing inhale up to me now inhale more fill up your chest exhale slowly steadily as long as you can again inhale up to me now inhale more fill up your chest your chest opening ribs expanding slowly exhale the control try to exhale as long as you can try to make your exhalation longer than your inhalation we'll do one more time in the now fill up your chest slowly exhale completely so within any difficulties try to take a deep breath and then follow with the practice again we'll try one last time inhale up to me now inhale more fill up your chest your chest opening ribs expanding and slowly with control exhale completely continue normal breathing and observe your body heal your body relaxed with your body with the awareness on it you're fully aware of your own self in these present moments feel the awareness feel the breath in your body before we move on to the next practice uh we'll do personal breathing so for that we'll be healing through the nose and while exhaling we'll be blowing our air through the mouth to make in without mouth right before that we'll take a couple of normal deep breaths take a deep breath in exhale completely inhale and exhale completely for the first lip breathing take a deep breath in now make a pout on your lips and blow the air through your lips let it make it as long as you can inhale make a pout exhale through the mouth try to make it on your own face try not to force yourself to breathe more or breathe less try to make it on your own face just keep practicing on your own face one last time we'll do it together take a deep breath in try to exhale as long as you can with your pout lips one deep breath in and long breath out completely empty your lungs and your tummy empty all the air and we'll take another breath in that's your normal breathing thank you so much for your cooperation that's all we have done uh before I end and uh give the takeover to uh Mr Apujit I will request you to fill

Thank you for all the support that you've provided to the initiative and then we have E cell VNIT. Rajat, do we have you here or some representative? If you could please raise your hand and I could unmute you. Okay, moving on. We have Aaskar Marwari, Khushboo, could you please share a little bit about it? Hi Abhijeet, can I share my screen? Yes, sure. Okay, all right here. So, hi everyone. My name is Khushboo Agarwal, so this is a recent idea we came up with Aaskar Marwari. Okay, so the name itself says like you know what we are intending basically. So most of the time you really need a quick fix for your business, right, which is like very practical and nothing like fancy embage. So that is what we are trying to do over here. So we provide consultancy in various domains that are sales and marketing, bootstrapping or brand identity, stuff like that. So we love to talk about business and interact with startups and write them with what they can do with their things. We even do this really quick thing, which is like you know website design audit, because if you have a good website then obviously you can have good business, right? So this is some feature maybe you would all try to, maybe you would all want to try it once. Yeah, so it's a recent thing, I mean last past two, three months we started this. That's that. Thank you. Thank you, Khushboo. I think that will definitely help the participants here with such kind of amazing mentoring. And the next partner is again, he presented by Khushboo. That's Aysot. So Khushboo again, back to you. Yes. So hi everyone. So this is my passion project. It means I can hear we started this. We provide interior fashion and architecture courses, degree and diploma program in all these domains, three-year degree program and one-year diploma program. And these are our courses basically like you know, BS in interior design, diploma in interior design, diploma in fashion design, BS in interior fashion design and diploma in architecture. What we are trying to do basically we are trying to restructure design education. So there is in India there is hardly like you know, maybe five institutes which is being headed by some designer. All the institutes that is all the design institutes basically they are managed by some business person, some management person. So obviously they don't have that kind of foresightedness. So this is what we are trying to do over here. It is being intercepted by a bunch of architects and we are trying to question each and everything what happens in the design education industry. Like the initial exercises, even the final project which they do, how they do it, the kind of culture which is there in the institute, the way teachers are being hired, like each and everything. We are even trying to incorporate the business part in it. Most of the design institutes they miss this part that you know, they can make you a good designer but they can't actually give you those tools which can help you to be a successful designer. So it is a very humble attempt to restructure and rethink that how we can deliver a justified design education which is basically go hand in hand with today's era. So we are working on the concept basically design education 4.0 which is parallel to industrial revolution 4.0. Yeah, so that's that. Thank you very much. We are trying to do a lot of things, even a podcast, The Big Design Show which is one of its kind in India where we are interacting with like you know, top people from the design industry and trying to find their point of view about the profession and about the education. So please go to our website, maybe you will find a lot of interesting things and know more about us. So thank you Abiji, thank you everyone and all the best to all the participants.

I'll just see if you can share your screen, Rameshwar. Sharing rights are open. Rameshwar, please go ahead. Rameshwar, as soon as you start, I'll start your timer. And I'll give you a reminder after four minutes and 30 seconds. All right? Am I audible? Yes, Rameshwar. Yes, you are audible. I have a request to judges. May I share my present? May I present in Hindi? Are you all comfortable in Hindi? Yeah, yeah, that's fine by me. Okay, okay. Thank you. So we can start. Yeah, your timer has started. Yes, Rameshwar. Go ahead. You all are my greetings. I am Rameshwar and I studied engineering from Pune's government college. Along with this, I worked with Rajasthan Shikshay Vibhag as a Gandhi Fellowship. I worked with Rajasthan Shikshay Vibhag to improve the quality of government school education. So I started working with Rajasthan's government school. Techno Shalakha purpose is that we are trying to make children's learning experiences better with the help of technology. So UNICEF had a survey in which it was told that in 2030, the 10th grade children will pass, there will be two of them. One of them will be a child who will have a lack of the ability to learn. And when I was working in Rajasthan, I saw that the children in the government school are very less interested in learning. So we tried to find out the reason for it. So majorly, two things came to mind. One is the education of the teachers, educators, their motivation and their technical skills are less. And the second is the lack of technology infrastructure in the government school. So the intention of Techno Shalakha is that we will make the existing government schools better for education. And our solution is that the people, process and technology of the government school should be made good so that for the development of children's learning skills, there can be a positive environment in the school. For this, we have divided the work of Techno Shalakha into three parts. The first is to make a digital classroom in the school. The second is to provide teachers with technology-related training. And when they need on-field support even after training, they provide that support. Along with this, the head teachers and school leaders, they provide adaptive leadership training so that they can adapt to innovation in the school. So right now, we are working with the six government schools in the tribal district of Nandurbar, where we are covering 500 children. So this is our operating model. First we let schools, then establish a digital classroom, then capacity building, on-field support. After this, we will transfer the ownership to the school and exit from the school. So this is a three-year cycle. And to achieve this objective, with the Government of Maharashtra's Nandurbar Education Department, the Central Square Foundation, SWAG, UPS University, Uttarakhand, Social Lens, MIU has signed with such organizations, which we are supporting to achieve this vision. So the impact of this program is that the interest in the children's school will increase so that the dropout rate will be less. Along with this, the children's education will be improved. Along with this, the head teacher will take this program to the rest of the classes with the help of the school leaders. And to implement this program, we needed 10 lakhs, which we want 10 lakhs from you. Along with this, you can join us with such people, who are interested in making children's learning experiences better. Thank you. Yeah, great. Over to the judges for the question and answer. Hello, if I may ask a question. Yes, Steve. What you are doing, that is actually very commendable, and I think its impact will be very good for the students. I wanted to know that what you are doing, you have just identified some gaps and you have designed this program to fill them. But what you are doing, what is the way of assessing it? How do you assess it? Yeah, Rameshwar, are you able to hear us? Please unmute. Okay, just a second. Actually, I don't have access to it, I have a problem with unmute. Okay, sure. So, as soon as we have identified the gaps, we are assessing at three levels. The first is to measure the learning outcome of the children, which is the foundation for learning. The second is to observe the classroom, through which we will get to know the classroom delivery of the teacher, the relationship and engagement with the children of the teacher, and with this, we will also observe the teacher in the school, how he is engaging with the teacher. The third is how much innovation he brings to his school or how he improvises the existing processes. So, there will be one assessment of the student, and the other two assessments will be on observation mode, because I have been working in the education sector since the last four years. And the experience with the teacher and the principal or the head teacher, if we directly assess them, sometimes their ego hurts. So, we want to be able to assess these things with the help of the head and the observation. That's all. So, there are some particular benchmarks for this. You will put the term of training the trainers. On that level, there are some benchmarks, some characteristics that you want to share, you want to tell that the success of the program, you are trying to add a layer on the top of the program. How will you ascertain the success of the program, whether you want to be a change maker or whether you want changes to come forward. So, how do you assess it? I wanted to know how do you train the trainers? Okay, fine. So, I would like to highlight this first. Our knowledge partner is the Central Square Foundation, and she is also talking to our Pratham Education Foundation. So, as a knowledge partner, we will train the trainers through their training. Actually, we will have to provide the training teachers with technology. So, for this, we will train the trainers through their training on a cluster level in Maharashtra. So, first, we will train them. Our in-house and existing government teachers, who hold expertise, we have about 37 teachers on board. The nationalized city of Audi, they have received scholarship on a global level. So, we want to reach to the ground of those teachers who needed it. So, we will provide training through these two modes. After this, I will share the impact that you talked about in a slide. I have also shared a slide with you in my presentation. So, we have prepared the whole impact model there. Is this your slide? Yes, sure. So, you can go down and we will start with the activity. So, here we have properly defined the activities that we will be doing. We have defined the indicators and the risks that we have created here. So, on the basis of this, we will do the outcome manager of the whole impact or program. So, this is the structure that we have set up. So, the output will be that it will start to be utilized. And the children will get high quality audiovisual content. The third thing is that the children will be able to experience the content in a different sense. So, the outcome will come after that. So, we will have to create a peer group of the teacher committee to improve the learning level of the children. So, it will be able to create here. It will be able to have an ultimate impact. The children will have an engagement with the learning process and their retention will increase in the school. So, I have told you a chain. So, it has a multiple factor connected with each other. So, it has been defined. Jais, this presentation is available in the folder. Yeah, I will go through it in detail. I have one last question. Are you leveraging technology to scale up? So, because our teachers are studying in the tribal area. So, we are not saying that we will shift the whole thing from technology. So, we want to take it in a blended mode. So, we have given some resources to the library teachers. For example, we have a partnership with Central Square Foundation. Then there is an organization called OPA. Then there is the content of Dixia. So, there are multiple resources that are helpful in the context of Nandurbar. So, we are giving the library to the teachers. After that, the teacher's job is to customize the needs of the children and use them. So, we are seeing that it will be used in a blended mode. And the needs of the teachers and the school will be integrated in the according lesson plan. And in the integration of the lesson plan or in deciding or curating the content. We will help the teachers and the school in all those things. Thank you. Any more questions from the jury? No? Can we move on? Yes, alright. So, thank you Rameshwar. Now, our next participant would be Saurabh Masalkar from Player Orbit. Do we have Saurabh here? Saurabh? Good afternoon everyone. One small request to everyone who is presenting. It would be very good if you can also turn on your cameras and pitch for video. So sorry, I don't have a camera right now. Apologize for that camera. I don't have access to a camera right now. So, good afternoon everyone. I am Saurabh Masalkar from Player Orbit. Should I share my screen or is my PPT already available? No, could you share it please? Yeah, definitely. Just a second. Is my screen audible? Visible? Yes, yes. Okay, so shall I start? Yeah, so good afternoon everyone. So, I am Saurabh Masalkar from Player Orbit. So, before going to Player Orbit, I would like to explain some terms. Like what is eSport? So, basically eSport is a competition where electronic sports games like computer games or PC games, there is a competition between mobile games and PC games. As right now, you may have heard the terms naming, games naming PUBG, BGI. So, similarly, there are various games such as Valorant, BGMI, Fortnite and various others. So, competition between them, like competition organized in between those sports is called as eSport tournaments. So, what Player Orbit does? Like, there are problems like in order to win these teams for those competitions, the player has to be very pro in that game. Like, the player has to be very professional playing that game. So, what problems do a general player like a gamer faces is like lack of proper guides. Like, even after playing hours and hours of game, the player or the gamer rank himself to a level that he can get into those eSports. The second is no growth potential. Like, being a local gamer, there is no such connection between a local gamer and eSport. Like, there is no such platform currently in India which connects a local gamer to a eSport organization or to various different connects. And the third problem which gamers faces is that improper connection. Like, the pro players who are basically into eSports and who want to teach young players. There is no such platform where a young gamer can get learnings from a pro player. So, what solutions do we offer? Like, here we like to introduce Player Orbit. It is a space where which help gamers to take their gameplay to a new level. And simultaneously, we want to create a gaming community. What we do, we hire like professional gamers who excel in those games and create their online portfolio. We organize one-to-one life classes between those pro players which we call them coaches and the young gamers who want to improve their gameplay and learn from those coaches. Using online technologies and websites and good internet connection, we are able to do all those solutions. Why now? So, like, that's the big question. Why now? So, as eSport is getting recognized as a career option, like nowadays earlier this month, a competition named VCT, Valorant Championship Tournament was held in India which had a price pool of around 1 crore. So, you can see how much money potential or how much a career potential eSport is gaining in India right now. So, more and more people are looking to become a professional gamer in India. So, that's their first reason. And the second reason is that trend of competitive gaming is rapidly increasing. Nowadays, every one day or every two days, there is a big pool, a price pool competitive gaming tournament organized in India. So, these are the most like reasons which we want to launch right now. So, talking about the market size, like overall throughout the world, we have a market size of 3.1 billion, but right now we want to target the market size of 628 million which is currently in India. Like, what would be our audience? Like, the audience will be the gamers who want to improve their gameplay and excel in those games. And second will be the professional gamers who want to register on our website and become a coach and teach those students or players. So, that's player orbit. It is India's first gaming at tech platform. It creates a place where a player, where a coach can have one-to-one life teaching or interactive sessions with young players so that he can teach, he can teach them some basics and advanced level of gaming. And simultaneously, we want to create a gaming community. Like, we want to create an all-in-one platform where a player can come, get learned and apply those learning by playing our e-sport competitions and simultaneously getting recruited into e-sport organizations by our tires. So, this is our business model. What are our key partners? Key partners are professional gamers. Like, I'll just cut it short because time is very less. Key activities, what we do, networking, we want to create a community. We will have a customer support. There would be platform maintenance as the platform needs to be upgraded every now and then according to the trends for which the game is set. There would be product development. There would be payment processing as payment gateways will be there to, in order to process the payment from customer to us. What would be the key resources? There would be a platform, network of collaboration as we'll be collaborating with various partners and gamers and key questions. Diversity, there would be diversity of game which is available. Like, currently we have six games. So, more and more diversity will like to bring on our platform. Expertise will have collaboration with the most expert gamer of that particular game so as to create a perfect platform. What are our cost structures? Like, we'll have to expand our team. We'll be having our own maintenance. Customer support, payment processing. As earlier said, there would be software development. And the most important would be marketing. As everyone knows in today's world, marketing plays a very important role. If no one knows about it, no one is going to come to our website and get life coaching. So, in order to get people to know about what player orbit is, marketing will play a very crucial role. What are our channels? Right now we have a website and all the social networks are currently online. In customer relationship, there will be some... ...someone likes our platform. So, you have extended your time limit? Yeah, yeah, okay. So, last, I'll just... Yeah, yeah, last, what will be our revenue stream? 80% of the revenue will go to coaches and 20% will be our commission. So, that's it from our side. Like, yeah, that's what player orbit is all about. All right. Over to the jury members. Hi. Do you already have some paid clients? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we just launched the 15th on 15th. Like, we have currently six to seven orders which we completed. Two games are online. We are starting in a very slow process. So, currently chess and BJM are active on our website. So, we completed around five to six orders. And why would gamers want to learn from you? Because you have professional coaches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, in India, that trend of esport is getting increased rapidly. So, more and more people want to get into an esport team. So, in order to get into an esport team, you need to be very skilled. Like, in order to get into an Indian cricket team, you need to be a very good cricket player. So, similarly, in order to get into an esport team, you need to be a very good pro player. So, in order to become a pro player, you need to get a teaching from some expert. So, that's all. What's your competition sort of? Like, currently in India, we are the first attack gaming platform, like, just focus for gaming. So, the competition which we have is Frontrow and Fiverr. Like, everyone must have heard about Frontrow. Frontrow also offers video coaches, video lectures, but it is very diversified. It is not concentrated for gaming right now. And second is Fiverr. Fiverr is a freelancer website originated from Israel and it offers its services all over the world. But it is also like a freelancer website and it has diversified its portfolio, like, through various channels. So, there is no one currently in India right now for just gaming. Did you forget YouTube? YouTube, sir, I don't consider a YouTube, like, it would be a competition, but we want to have a partnership with the content creators on YouTube. So, like, the content creators having 7 million, 10 million followers on YouTube, we can have a collaboration with them and they are expert gamers, right? So, we can have a collaboration with them so we can lure their audience to our platform. I am just trying to say that YouTube is a competition of all, yeah. That can train me in a specific way. Yeah, but that won't be a one-on-one life coaching. Yeah, that won't be a one-on-one life coaching. It will be a competition for videos. What value proposition gets on the table with one-on-one life coaching, which I cannot find on YouTube? Like, sir, on one-on-one life coaching, like, in games particularly, in one-on-one, if we can select four-v-one or one-on-one length, what problems is like, every person faces a different set of problems. Like, if I play, my gaming style would be different and if you play, your gaming style would be different. So, according to the gaming style, in one-v-one, we can analyze those gaming styles and then we can give them a review rather than giving a generic review which is available on YouTube. It would be a personalized review. So, about YouTube, just to tell you that, you know, there is a problem, yes. There is a problem. There is no professional game. I completely agree with that. You actually do think this as a, you know, like, a gap that they have and they, you know, like, have to focus on this and they need, like, coaching. So, you know, like, you don't have a mature market over here. So, your most of energies will be focused on making this market mature, which is... Yeah, but someone has to start, right? Yeah, definitely. Someone has to start, right? Someone has to start but not necessarily, I mean, focus on the maturing market. So, I mean to say, like, you know, creating a value proposition out of your own website, out of your own platform, sometimes it's a difficult battle to win. Yeah, but we are, like, we'll try our best and we'll commit ourselves, like, so that we win this battle. So, what's a typical ticket size and how many... So, one-on-one is it like a classroom model wherein, like, multiple... Is it live session or is it pre-recorded? No, it is a live session, like, we have a website where we can... You can choose which game you want. If you select Valorant, then there would be, like, five to six coaches available for Valorant. You can select any one of them. If you... Won't it be, like, two... Like, sir, like, according to the, like, current trends, like, people do want some such kind of training. According to our research, like, we surveyed through a Google... In Nagpur, we circulated a Google form. So, according to that, we generated some reviews. So, like, we asked question, do you want to get into e-sport? And if the answer is yes, then we ask question, like, would you like if someone expert teaches you at a price range of around 500 to 700 rupees? So, would you like to take that plan? So, most of the people said yes. We'll take that plan and it would definitely improve our skills and get us up. Hi. Sorry to interrupt, Abhijeet here. In the interest of time, we could take maybe more questions later on. I would request also that you need to be mindful of the time because we have more pitches coming up. Noted. Thank you. Yeah, thank you very much for the time. I really appreciate it. Yes. All right, then. So, moving on with the next participant, do we have Yogesh Gaikwar from Murthykar here? Yogesh. Yes, Yogesh is here. Yes, Yogesh. Hello, can you hear me? Yes, Yogesh, we can hear you now. Yes, sure. So, I'll just present. Okay, so we are Murthykar and we are creating a technology that will be helpful for the small artists and craftsmen around the world to connect to the world market. And this is our index. I can go forward. So, what problems we are focusing on for the consumers is, from the consumer point of view, regarding the, I can say, the home decor market, the pre-instance around the product, which about like, will it be suitable for your home or will it be convenient to place in a home? Buying from an e-commerce website is really a hard and tough decision to make. Even if you go into some shops and you try to imagine that this particular product, will it be good for your home? It's like totally dependent on imagining. And then second, I can say that searching for this variety of market is something which we can say is really hard. We can have really less options. And the home decor market is mostly the offline one. So the product that is created, which goes through like a number of distributors from retailers to distributors from our last shop seller. And that the instance creates, I can say, the price, high price value, inflate the price value. And also it is like hindering the identity of the creator. We don't know who the creator is, who have created it. The thing is the important issue is that market is full of mass manufactured products, which is like no one is creating something which is like particularly based on your need and your problems so that we need. So that is what we have identified. And these are about the small artists that we are trying to create a website for. The thing is they have a lack of support. Even the government of India is having really less plans for the small artists to support them. And then the price they gave for the product they've created is really low. So a family's livelihood cannot be sustained at this particular income. And so they have to live the particular artistry and their talent. And they have to move on to something more which is like which is pay more. So it's like deteriorating the artists we have in the country. And then there's a lack of appreciation for work. The main producer who produces them and create who makes a particular item is not like named after him. There's like really less companies which do that, I guess. So which is why we have created a Murtikar. Murtikar is an online e-commerce website which is like which can create a total customer customized products as per your need in the home decor. And we have a niche community for home decor. The thing we are bringing which we can call as a unique selling point as an AR player. You can actually place the item into your home and see whether it is suitable or not. And then there is another thing we are creating. It's called as a platform for personal development of artists. So for supporting the artists there is like a peer-to-peer model that we are focusing on. Okay, so that is that much. Murtikar allows buyers to use the AR technology to get a sneak peek to a product into their own environment to make a better buyer decision. And it is also for a greater value that the largest variety we are giving and we are trying to give a customer service that is really that the buyer wants. The buyer gets an option to customize the products where we create the particular creator with the consumers and they can have a discussion and they can create according to their own customized needs. So this is like a working business as an artist individual register into our website and then register their products at Murtikar. And when a buyer comes to sign up and search for the product what they need, they buy it and Murtikar then ships it to and the product is received by the buyer. So what we have identified as a market size is that the total addressable market size is of 30 billion dollars and the serviceable market size that is totally online is we can guess is one on 3.5 million US dollars and the current growth rate as annual growth rate is 13 percent. So the target audience we have here is of 22 to 37 year of that primary primary persons from tier one or tier two series or tier three series we can say for these consumers and 37 to 45 year of secondary consumers who are like interested in designing their house interior design ideas and home decor and designs and then we have the another thing which is called as a sculpture or god idols we have the target audience of 28 to 55 year who is like having the particular you can say interest in buying the religional items and these are competencies that we can have the statue studio is one of the competencies there is a paper fry and then my puja box they are also space food and the direct competition we guess we are going to face was from offline showrooms these are revenue models where we are going to charge a sales fee commission from the sales and we have an in house advertising program so sellers can promote their item and we have also inch of fee where you can create your own website or particular part of your website and you can totally customize your shop and then there is a sculpture and home decor product manufacturing for murthika that is currently running right ok so the time is up by the way alright 10 more seconds ok so so these are marketing channels that we are going to focus on we are going to go through content marketing, poster hoardings upsellings and exhibition, Pinterest, email marketing all the original forms of marketing that we can have and this is our team I am Pratik Naranare and my partner is Yogesh Gaikwan so that is it alright alright so over to judges so I want to understand what is your background and why did you chose to start this business so ok I am from my family has a business of this creating murthi I am from Shildi and my whole family like my uncle and my father is in I am using this murthi and so I guess this is what I came into this murthi car identify the problem of the small markets at this you cannot reach to the world market to get the prices so just a suggestion next time if you are making a page presentation it is going to be useful if you add this part in your presentation it will make a different kind of an impact on the jury and the investors ok sure I will yeah Jayesh do you have any question yeah not question but I do think like it is a very niche segment that has to be solved which will require a lot of effort a lot of marketing money yeah I understand I am not sure of if it is a problem worth solving right now ok alright alright so should we move on to the next participant do you remember yes yes yes alright so do we have Sonam Vasule from Aidu Sonam Vasule hello yes I am Sonam yes Sonam please go ahead kindly share your slide and then I will start your time just a second after Sonam we would have Ajay Kumar kindly be ready with your ppt Ajay Kumar and Mani Aadha from Aulzai share screen basic picture hello I think I am unable to share my screen is the share screen option not there is there but I think this is a new laptop so it is not allowing me ok would you want to share the screen yes yes please if you can alright let's try yes Aidu yes hello very good evening to everyone I am Sonam Vasule I will be presenting on our idea nurturing life skills Aidu so first of all I want to go through scales of human achievements and currently we are in the age of where schools plays a very important role and the industrial revolution and what's next I think next we want extraordinary progress and success but in this whole process of human achievements what we are missing which is really important is life skill education and human values and due to lack of this education our happiness index is at a very lower rate so I want to tell you this hidden truth behind success to be successful or progressive the screen is not visible yes I am working on it actually it has started just give me ok I will share in that yes hello should I continue yes yes please yeah thank you so I want to talk behind success to be successful or progressive there are lot many factors behind which others are not which are invisible factors and other people are not able to see those things so these factors in order to overcome these factors and challenges we will provide life skill education and human values you can see an example of this iceberg life skill includes communication skill leadership and management skill financial skills human values and using all these skills one can have a very progressive mindset and can be a very successful and a happy person in life so we want these life skill education and human values to impart to children at a younger age life skills gives you a positive behaviour which in turn gives you psychological and physical well being quality of life promotion of life long learning and many more things our unique value proposition is helping each child outshine and make them life long learners by the way of life skills and human values life long learners converting passive learners to active learners and we want to teach children that it's not about being the best it's about being better than you were yesterday it's about competing oneself so coming to the product delivery our phase 1 will be live online sessions recorded videos and activity material phase 2 will be going through the offline classes we will try to tie up with the schools giving them that the life skill education and human values are so important that we should add to our current education system and then the third stage is to create a physical centre of excellence revenue streams will be through our course course fee staff training packages and activity material subscription Sonam, please stand up yes so marketing strategy and growth will be doing marketing through social media email strategy, video collaboration and tie up with the schools our mission is to build a safe respectful and nurturing environment focusing on maximising each child's sense of well-being and acquisition of skills for life and learning so we are two members in our team I am Sonam and I have done my mTech in signal processing from COEP Pune and I have been taught in GH Rai Soni college of engineering as an assistant professor after that I have started my own coaching class I was teaching maths till 12th standard and also teaching arts and behavioural so over to the jury members sonam nice to see this and I appreciate that you guys are thinking I am not being a parent of children myself and I am not sure if I can relate to this problem but commercial if there is a viability so how do I know it I mean like teach me how do I know what makes me because everyone teaches their kids well we think we put our efforts to put them in the right school there is a lot of scrutiny that goes on a lot of parameters that we face our decisions there so Anil how do I feel that my kid needs this how do I know that I would like to relate this with an example since I have been teaching since 4 years and I have been talking to lot many students and parents that's why I came through this problem that this problem is actually persisting like people are saying that my child is very hard working but he is not able to get marks at present like parents are focusing on marks subject marks for the students at good marks and good results so they are asking why he is not getting he is studying at home he is doing everything so what I tell them is only studying they want their child to study from morning till evening they want their child should go to school after coming to school immediately he should sit for his homework and study all day all night so I am telling parents that this is really not important but the approach through which your child is learning or studying is really important and what I feel is all the students who are coming to me I am actually telling them how you should study how you should learn I am telling them even if you want to study for just half an hour that is enough but you have to concentrate for that half an hour then you can take a break for half an hour then again you can study if you want so there is an approach for doing everything and I think that is missing and many parents are unable to tell their students because I think nowadays parents are also busy in their own life so like if someone is asking what is the success behind that children or why he is getting result why he is getting mark so I want to tell that the life skills that is the proper time management the concentration thing and there are lot many factors behind getting good marks not only study do you like after that I will not ask more questions okay alright Aditi no thanks thanks okay alright thank you Sonam now we will move on to the next participant from Aulzai do we have Ajay Kumar or Mani Aadha from Aulzai Ajay or Mani yeah Aadha no I think Richa I don't see them yes I alright next is Akash Gurappa do we have Akash from smart way house Akash I can see you I am I am audible to you alright after Akash Swapnil from Vyongkala please be ready yes Akash yes good evening to all of you my name is Akash Gurappa I am the CVO and founder of smart way house we are supported and funded by Indian Council of Agriculture Research Ministry of India during our research and college we understand that we have identified the gaps the first gap that we identified is that currently the agriculture warehouse sector is running in a very traditional methodology the second is that it's very unmanaged, unorganized and in sufficient way the third is that the farmers who willing to store their commodity in the warehouses they are not able to store because due to the high price and the lack of information and due to the black marketing of the stockists for that reason with our skill set we have introduced our product so in which we are connecting all the unorganizing agri warehouses sector into our platform the second is that we are providing a government system to track the black marketing from all over India so we are providing a government and deploying all their system to the warehouse owner side and third is that we are giving a marketplace so the depositor who is storing their commodity into the go downs or warehouses they can directly sell out into the bulk quantity of basmati britani like companies so this is the solution that we have met the first is the mobile app so the farmers or depositor who willing to store they can see the whole detail of the warehouses what kind of price they are taking and charges the second is that the company food companies who is seeing the warehouses to store the parley britani at high altitude mention so they can see the warehouses without going to the visits and all so while using of AR they can see the third is the WMS we are giving to the warehouse owner so they can manage all the system and we can also track how much the commodity has stored in that warehouses and third we are also doing a smart storage was the one in which we are purchasing a used containers and with our technology innovation we are deploying this cold storage portable containers to the villages so that they can store the perishable communities in the village itself only so this are the marketing studies so in this we are giving a WMS for 90 days to to the warehouse owner so they can get comfortable and we are also doing the events so we are delivering masks and sanitizers in the agriculture Mondays so they can come to our app and they can use our app and we are doing the print sites and social media marketing also our competitors currently is the Godamwale and CDX India Mart so if we talk of the market so around 90% of warehousing sector in India is unorganized and we are losing around 1 lakh crore rupees per year due to the poor service losses it costs around 40% that we produced so this is our team we are young and interesting and we have an idea of agriculture and technology so I am from IRI New Delhi and I am from TripleIT Ripple he is a CTO he is a VIT Chennai he is doing all the mechanical things so we have two kind of model the first model is subscription based model so we are taking 50,000 rupees for using our app at the warehouse site and the commission based model if no one want to take our business so we are taking 2% charges from the warehouse for forcing their warehouses and this is the financial forecast so in this March 22 our target is to reach to 5,25,000 and when we reach to 120 warehouses onboarded our app we will cross our breakment point so this is our future roadmap for the 24 months so in the first one year we are trying to connect 150 warehouses in month by this season after the 6 months we will go to the store of our perishable company we will deploy our cold storage and the last step last 6 months that we will connect our platform that the farmers can book their slots with the app so this are the research so before doing the implementation of our project we will do the research and we published and then we work start working on the product design so this is it thank you thank you for giving us time alright Akash, yeah over to jury members Akash nice agriculture certainly has some big challenges and opportunities both yes so what stage of the startup are you sir we are in a least stage so we have done a project also you have done the transaction yeah may I know a little bit about that quickly number how much research that we have done there are some insights in the back okay so currently we have connected 150 warehouses in Bhopal reason and we have deployed our one small container use container in the Hoshengwar district and we have given to the Panchayat for the storing of the Hoshengwar communities so you know also that the tomato price is very fluctuating nowadays the Indore and Mathapales region is throwing their tomatoes because they are not getting the right price for that product so for that we have started our use containers and alcohol storage chain so the farmer can use our containers by using our app and they can also store their communities to the different warehouses for our app also I have seen the sector a little bit closely with one of the start-ups that I was working on and the trust deficit is a huge barrier from the farming side so I hope you have some mitigation policies we will be happy to connect and no more offline after this meeting let's get a look at this yes sir yes are we done with the question do you remember yes okay alright thank you Akash thank you for giving time ma'am thank you yes so now do we have Swapnil Domade from Vyom Kala Swapnil and then we would have Karthik Gurumule so do we have Swapnil right now from Vyom yes hello can I have can I share this with you yes please yeah the timer has started Namaste we are delighted to present Vyom Kala on this platform thank you for giving us this opportunity she is Anjur and Swapnil we are entrepreneurs by profession and passionate about sustainable living and art form your cameras are not on my guest we are going to present our product at the end so that I mean start the camera alright okay Vyom Kala is an all inclusive development initiative for preserving central India's quilt style stitching art form wakard or godhadi this is the bootstrap initiative at the pre-seed stage I will take ahead the story from here we saw need gaps as opportunities of development in the areas where we had the surveys and created a model with long term vision of going completely sustainable and zero waste so our products are majorly utility, phone decor punishing and slow fashion for personal and corporate giving being at pre-seed stage we plan to expand this initiative to reach the global markets in the near future our customer segments would be like the target market would be majorly retail buyers corporate clientele influencers across the globe and the convergers of art and sustainable living alternatives considering the global market as the total available market we plan to start by retail sales and gradually expanding to other opportunities talking realistically regarding the serviceable available market to reaching the total market gradually with time and with expansion here we have an advantage of low cost and low considerably low value but not compromising the quality and this is we start with the economy products where we are partially sustainable just now since a bootstrap and a pre-seed stage initiative like when we move ahead in we can plan towards going completely sustainable in the highest value for our products in past times and considering all the categories of the products from economy to luxury, premium and retail our initiative is an all inclusive project where the value to customers and the value to contributors like we said empowerment of the team livelihood earning opportunities environment opportunities for them and the propagation and promotion and preservation of local art forms and handicrafts and here our long-term vision is obviously doing zero waste and completely sustainable we currently seek support I missed a point here our revenue model is based on the concept that the world is of a market place like we plan to sell online platforms then move on to exports gradually from India market to international market and we also plan to get into local membership where sustainable communities exist majorly the operation facilities will be in central India and the production and distribution handling part and it will be delivered across the globe major work areas would be starting from workforce training to gradually connecting to worldwide organizations then our team we have about 30 seconds left our team is of entrepreneurs, artists and scale craftsmen and we seek support from all areas of operations during the global market so I would like to open the camera for showing other product this was the first prototype it was a batch of 50 quills and some other products where we decided to go zero waste by utilizing the waste material from this and we got a huge response which actually is the reason we wanted to make this initiative a sustainable one in the long term so thank you so much for the opportunity thank you thank you yes, jury members how far are you on the revenues and scale since this is a bootstrap initiative initially we invested obviously a very limited amount and hence whatever we had invested we could get around 20% over that amount and the profit from that 5-10% was shared with the workers and the team that initiated the project alright, thanks I have one question to ask where is the production that's happening we have mentioned in the pitch deck since we didn't cover it here in the suburbs and the rural areas in central India 20-30 km away from Nakhur as of now but in the future we plan to take this to all other regions of central India and P. Chhattisgarh including because they also have people who have similar skillset got it, appreciate that thank you Aditi so how do you plan to take over your competition because this market is already quite crowded and there are lots of players already existing in the market yes but as you can see these are day to day utility products which we are planning to expand as of now we have only 2-3 products but our expansion plan has major product range included like I mentioned in the traction part here as we move ahead there will always be products evolving and these can be considered in fast moving goods hence the demand for this is going to increase and not decrease overall need and structure for how the market is going just now like people are conscious people are going towards sustainable so we thought this is a huge opportunity rather than applying the system it's more of an opportunity to bring out more alternatives which are sustainable and obviously our marketing part will or the promotion part will be the promotion of sustainable alternatives easy to use products so this way I think that is our another competitive advantage and surely help us kind of not dominate completely but partially dominate the competition you may want to think around how a lot of electronic market is currently structured and developed and make your products in that manner because if your items are going to be long lasting then people are not going to come back to buy so think on that okay like you do you mean we should create products which would be supporting the electronic part or anything else no I mean to say that if your products are going to be long lasting if they are going to last for 10 years 20 years people are not going to keep buying new products right from the same time that's why we mentioned another part which was corporate and personalized gifting which once you say you are our customer you bought a few things we liked our product the product range is obviously ever evolving it will keep adding new products we keep sharing the catalogs and everything and once a person is into sustainable living which we personally are like we are passionate about sustainable living so we just started with using a simple steel straw rather than using a disposable one and now I think we have almost 50 to 60 sustainable products with individually with us so this is ever evolving this is going to continue we gift our friends on their birthdays, anniversaries and whichever occasion as we give sustainable products to our clients as corporate gifts so this is going to evolve alright one small question sorry to interrupt Richard is this just one product that you are selling or there are more that are part of your portfolio okay as of now in the like I said low cost and low value advantage here we have a product range of only 3 to 4 products which are major league the quilt and woodery ones which can be used as mattresses also mats picnic mats then bedsheets or similar things this is a bichani like we say in Hindi and other products are the sleeves laptop sleeves the Kindle sleeves and all so those are again the 20 handmade designs and all this is the current product range but in the plan we have almost 15 to 16 products utility products and we want to move into slow fashion as well thank you very much also everyone again kindly request if it's possible please turn on your camera so it's easier to understand your pitch thank you so much thank you alright thank you team now moving on do we have Karthik Gurmulesh from small rank Karthik and then we would expect Leena and then we would move on to Rajat Patmi so last three contestant so do we have Karthik here I am not able to see Karthik Leena are you here Leena not yet I think we could take up Rajat I will just check yes you remember kindly note Rajat is a late entry to kindly consider him Rajat are you able to share your screen and we will go ahead with you right now alright Rajat just a second am I audible yes you are audible name of his venture is sort our garbage sort our garbage or SOG alright Rajat yes my screen is visible right yeah yeah so garbage garbage garbage have you ever wondered this tagging amount of it lying all around you it will surely kill us unless we do something about it so hello everyone my name is Rajat Patmi we finally are student at VNIT and I present in front of you our startup SOG which is based on an idea to auto segregate waste and throw them into different categories as per the central control pollution both 90% of waste remains the biggest problem in the waste management sector is in collection and segregation of waste and that's where we are focusing on to auto segregate waste and throw them into different categories so basically the solution which we are providing is auto segregating waste then collecting the waste from your source and then directly providing it to recycling companies and then recycling recycling it and converting it into finished products so these are the three parts on which we are focusing also talking about a customer segment so as we know waste is a thing which is very huge and we have different categories of waste but we will be first focusing on household waste so we will be there will be two customer segments one will be recycling units to whom we will be providing this raw material so that they can use and convert it into finished products and secondly hostels and PG's so we are entering into B2B market segment and we are first starting with hostels and PG's so that since the product on which we are working the model of SOG which auto segregates waste can be installed there and through that we can get amount of waste in bulk so if you talk about market size of total waste generated in India and if you talk about the people if you look at the hostel numbers in India itself so we have 14 billion we can say total available market and out of which total addressable market is 220 million and our initial target assuming 50% of the share for this is 33 million so basically what exactly how we function so we will charge for SOG bin and then by providing raw material to the recycling companies so we will be charging for that part so presently we are on an addition stage and we are working to create a model of SOG which will auto segregate waste and this will be our technology on which we are still working on wires first of all we are entering minimum supply of waste per day because the biggest problem in waste is though it's segregation but anytime we are focusing on is segregating your waste directly at source so if directly at that but through our smart aggregator if we can directly segregate waste so we will be ensuring minimum supply of waste per day recycling efficiency of 95% and then end to end connection since we are the one so this is our go to market plan in which more detailing need to be done so it's like we are focused environmental based campaigns and websites social media looking to partner with recycling companies so that we can partner with them and we can provide this finish good to them we are the first who was in the recycling market yet they are already competitors like there are 7500 plastic recyclers in India as per the registered and 312 registered e-waste recyclers but no one is presently focusing on auto segregation directly at source so this is our team we are a team of 5 all our pre-final year students at BNIIT from different streams Alak is the one who will be focusing on IoT on medical part of operations so that's all from my side and thank you so much for your time and I would love to hear your questions great, all right Kajar yes, jury members, do you have any questions? are you going to be focusing only on electronic waste? no, actually we are first starting with kitchen waste so electronic waste is not the thing on which we are touching right now okay so domestic waste is the thing from which we will be starting okay do you have any questions? good from my end actually there are lot many questions but I think I will take that offline Kajar, at ideation stage that I get yes sir, presently we are working on creating a MVP which we are expecting to get completed by the end of November so let's see it's like we are still working on our model okay have you spoken to the stakeholders by any chance have you covered like market information feedback and you started directly working on the product sir what we have done is we have talked with some people initially and we have identified the market that if we look at the stats as well then segregation of waste is a very big problem and then going ahead in this we came to identify that there are different players who used to segregate waste but they don't segregate it directly at source so basically people used to collect waste from your home the government vehicles which we can see and they are dumped at a particular area and from there the kitchen waste or we can say domestic waste gets segregated so your model is to basically will it be lending out the segregating machines that you are making or total end to end recycling okay sir sir since we can't focus on everything end to end recycling right from start because we will not be having that much so what we are thinking is to first focus on that is we will be targeting hostels as well as industries and we will be selling these machines to them and we will be taking care of everything and then the rest part we are focusing to do by partnership so that those waste which is segregated is been collected and directly been supplied to recycling industries who are already working so initially what we have decided that to only be a third industry to pay for your product you want the hostels and industries to pay for your product is that correct? and also since we are one is the nature part I will say like nature benefit and secondly many companies are right now looking for this if we look at Hindustan Unilever and companies like this so they are expecting that the waste which is generated that can be used for example in one of the research which we have done so if we see companies like HUL they have various plants and their ice cream plant itself the waste generated from all this type of ice cream that can be used as a raw material for their for making of wheel and detergent part so it's like this is the thing if we segregate or to segregate that thing so that can be helpful so I feel there is a monetary benefit for them as well yeah alright thanks thank you sir alright one last question from my side why are you the best fit for this kind of a business or why did you decide to get into this business I feel the unique thing we are also not sure we are best or not since we are not entered yet but I feel the unique thing is segregating that source of us and why we have decided this waste management and system editing fascinates me a lot so through that and then after having expertise of chemical and mining part as well I thought this is the thing on which I can work on okay sure my stream of studies also chemical and petroleum okay yeah great thank you Raja so I'll just call out the names of three participants who were not there at that time I just want to make sure if they are present right now Ajay Kumar from Aulzai and then Kartik Gurmule from Small Rank and Leena from Meteor Chef if any one of you is present then do let us know yeah I just had Leena had called she is in a medical emergency so she won't be able to participate alright okay and we have no news from the other two right so yep so I think we could move forward from there and so those were the misfits that pitched today for the central region thank you very much all of you for joining in those were some wonderful pitches that we heard and amazing work that all of you have been doing we look forward to engage with all of you in the coming weeks and build this community at our region thank you and as I said that all of this wouldn't have been possible without the amazing partners that we have that are supporting us a huge shout out to all the global partners that are supporting us are powered by partners CrowdData, ImpactPod, E-Cell I am Pritchie the co-organizers for Misfits21, One Impact and our regional co-host GHR TBI Foundation and our regional partners I sought Priyadarshani Institute of Management Studies and Research and E-Cell BNIT thank you very much for all the support extended by you and your teams we look forward to engaging with you again and make this into an engaging community moving forward and that's Misfits 2.0 regional round for all of you thank you very much for supporting us and Pitching and I am sure everyone who attended got inspired by these amazing the attendees I have been getting messages from my students many of my active E-Cell members wanted to ask you Jayesh and Aditi since we have three of you you can allow couple of questions from them yes for sure yes absolutely because I have been getting messages from them and they want to ask you questions so I think Suraj wants to ask something and maybe Aman right I remember two of you and if there are other questions other guys please feel free to ask the question right now you can unmute yourself and go ahead Suraj I am unmuting you you can just raise your hands and we can unmute you my name is Suraj Singh and thank you so much for this great opportunity to be present in this Pitching contest and my question is for the pitchers who are investing their money in their upcoming startups that was there a time when you had no money left in your pocket during your struggle days and if then how you made a comeback this is my question from my side so can you answer this question okay I think I would let one of the startups answer that and maybe some of us could take that question so anyone who just pitched today would like to take that question yeah if this scenario seems familiar having no money in your pocket during your struggle days please answer let us know I think Jayesh and me we can definitely share a lot of cases when we did that yeah you please start and then we would be able to hear more absolutely so I think yeah there were enough times when that was a case something most relevant was during the time when I started up for the first time which was in college I actually I had a gap year so I failed in my second year of engineering and I had to take a drop year and that's when I started and I did not have a lot of money to start up so what I did was the best thing that I could do was give presentations and teach presents how to give presentations so my first attempt into sorts of doing business during college was going to all of these competitions and just winning them and that got me the individual funding required for my start up and beyond that because I was doing a lot of educational workshops and stuff so I think that proved to be the initial seed money that was there even during school we used to sell softwares and a lot of that so there's always one skill that you're good at and I think if you can leverage it that makes all the difference maybe J.I. should be the one to add on top of this so thank you so much sir I think this question is arising because when you are doing a start up you have you should have too much expectations and dedication towards your start up and this question is arising in front of every every picture so the person who is starting who is initiating their start up and thank you so much for your kind if I can add some value here so I have done two start ups I have seen a lot of situations when I didn't have money and from that experience I can tell you one thing if you have a lot of money in your pocket the investor gives you to start up not every problem and be solved throwing money at it so you don't have to solve problems with money and because of money there are many situations when you ask for help that is what I will tell you as a start up founder you don't just have money there are many situations when you don't have money and still you don't have to give up and start up life is that we say that founder, entrepreneur jumps from a plane and before hitting the ground you have to build a parachute on his way to ground so if you stop any founder from money yes sir you are absolutely right sir but there are some problems when there are some start ups they don't have any idea how to fund this so what should they do in this situation so the problem is there is no fund there is no idea so if you ask keep asking start up founder is the one who keeps asking the question who doesn't have the answer and keeps going on all walks of life this is the answer thank you so much sir thank you thank you Suresh for that question if I remember Aman you also had a question do you want to ask it Aman if you are there yes ma'am yes sure ma'am sir my question was how can we start a business if we do not have any money no financial backing from the family no financial backing from the family and you do not have any money yes ma'am again money question I think Aman I already answered that question there are a lot of people a lot of us without financial backing without a lot of money I think if you have one skill that you can capitalize on that is something that you can always start with you are always good at at least one thing it could be practically anything and if you capitalize on that then start doing it the solution is rather go do a job first get some money save some money and then start with that absolutely Suresh Jayesh Aditi do you want to add something to this you said it right man money does not stop yes it stalls your times but there is nothing that you need to start but if you do not have ask if you do not get it from there then earn it from some other place from other means save it and then come back to starting what you wanted to start so keep that passion alive keep that hope alive walk towards it and whoever does that then we hear stories of success success is not that someone gave you a cheque success absolutely and I think just to add here to share so an organization we do a lot of work with micro entrepreneurs so we work with many ITI Polytechnic students I will tell you one of the recent programs we had this one kid Gaurav Devdary his parents are daily wage laborers they work in the fields he literally lives in a hut and but then he had this one idea of when they go to the fields they need something to make fun of them so he used PVC pipes and some chemicals that were in the market to make a carbide gun he mixed a couple of chemicals which creates a very minor explosion and through the PVC pipe he amplified that and that creates a very loud noise in the farm and he started selling that at 250 rupees he invested some money in making a few products and he started selling it in the market he was part of one of our entrepreneurship programs that he ran and today he is selling in 4-5 villages he has put his friends for sales where he gives them some money and all of that and I think he has done above 10-20 thousand rupees of sales in just a few months this is one case there is another case where who was doing electronics sorry electrical ITI and he was very good at innovative thinking and he could design some solutions around it so in one of the farms again because in his village there pigs used to come in the farm he spoke with the farmers that I have a solution that can do electrification and he used he took money from them bought components and he installed it there with a profit margin and then when a lot of people saw that he is doing this he started getting more and more orders and today towards Ramte and he lived there in about 8 months time period he set up his own electrical repair shop and he is also making LEDs so I think all of us here and these are people that I am speaking who do not have smartphones who do not go who are studying ITI colleges and all of that so I think all of us here are far more privileged than these people are and if he made a limitation in our mind that we need money to start a business a lot of people are doing that right away yesterday I got to hear one of the women groups that we were working with near Sauner they made they started making achar, papad all of these things and they went to the MIDC nearby them and there they started selling in companies and within 4 months last 4 6 months that they started doing it they want 1 lakh rupees as a 5 people group in that village and that's an amazing feat so I think it's all it's in your mind with that limitation and being from Crowder I can always say that you can always crowdfund for your ideas so why why struggle so much try crowdfunding absolutely absolutely but on a serious note I think that especially for students don't think of starting up right from the college in fact more existential question would be why do you want to start up I mean think seriously about it and maybe work for few years the smartest entrepreneurs have worked for few years and invested that money in the start up you know 5 years, 6 years down the line and made it big so do that unless you know you have money to spend you should really think very smart when it comes to entrepreneurship absolutely right so do we have any more questions I think Akshita is speaking but we can't hear you Akshita Akshita I guess her mic is on by mistake anybody else do you have any questions okay no questions I guess cool so again thank you very much everyone for joining in thank you Jury for your time really appreciate all that you did today and thank you for providing that feedback thank you all the partners for supporting us in this entire initiative and very glad to work with all of you thank you participants and look forward to the winning teams we will make the announcements in 2 days and let you know who's the misfit from the central region thank you very much thank you all of you thanks Abhiji
