Simran Ajwani — CEO
Growing up in a business family, I believed that "being an entrepreneur" was in my blood. My journey began at a young age, as I learned about profit and loss before mastering the art of cartoons. By the age of 16, I was brimming with business ideas, convinced that entrepreneurship was in my blood. My Bachelor's in Business Administration felt like a natural, almost fated, path. After my undergraduate studies, I scored 720 (94th percentile) on the GMAT and was delighted to receive a 100% M1 Merit Scholarship for the Masters in Management programme at ESCP Europe Business School. After studying and experiencing entrepreneurship in 3 different countries (India, UK, and Germany), I realized that I couldn't have been more wrong. Entrepreneurship is a beautiful infusion of Science, Business, and Art. But most importantly, the methods and principles behind it can be learnt! With determined passion and enthusiasm, I co-designed an experiential 5-day program to make ‘quality’ entrepreneurship education more accessible. In 2020, I co-founded Venture Boss and facilitated the program for 98 students from 22 different countries. Education is a unique endeavour that goes beyond traditional classroom settings. I believe that a revolution in the educator sector is required to harness the potential of youth leading India’s development. In my current role as COO at Crucible institute, I'm thrilled to lead this revolution. Let's connect to explore how we can contribute to the mission!
