I want to thank the team of LanunchPad for their innovative program to nurture and mentor me. The weekly sessions were interactive and brainstorming, which helped me understand industrial jargon and common mistakes of non-profitable startups and provided a real picture of today’s businesses.

The session was highly intuitive; it helped me become aware of the entire cycle of entrepreneurship, which includes MVP development, customer acquisition, brand awareness, team development, etc. Also, I learned the importance of networking and raising funds. I would recommend this program to all aspiring people.

Student @ IIT Guwhati
In the beginning, I just wanted to do business, but I didn’t have a perfect plan regarding it. Through this program, I have learned many things, like what business is and how to manage it. It is so nice to share time with everyone in the program; sharing everyone’s experiences gave a lot of knowledge.
