• “On your sparks” is a counselling platform to inspire and introduce potential entrepreneurs to the right values and foundations before entering the realm of startups.
• While working with industrialist and renowned Entrepreneur and animal welfare activist Mr. Ratan Tata, I came across students who were fearful of venturing into Entrepreneurship. Not knowing where to start, or how to choose a problem to solve, or which pitfalls to look out for, were only some of the problems I noticed were discouraging potential Indian entrepreneurs from joining the entrepreneurial ecosystem and growing it further. This is truly one of the reasons why the Indian startup ecosystems grows slowly and is not inclusive. To bring this inclusivity, learnings from Mr. Tata’s office and my Cornell MBA, and a few relatable stories from my personal life that would inspire fearful students, I started '“On Your Sparks” teaching courses as a sister initiative of Motopaws. “Sister” because the a primary motive of “On Your Sparks” is to keep growing Motopaws animal initiatives manufacturing reflective collars for safety of stray animals and feeding and rescuing them across over 15 cities across the country.
• “On Your Sparks” aims to create an inclusive, informed environment for Indian students afraid of entering the entrepreneurial space with right ethics, values and principles and protecting as well as rehabilitating the voiceless strays in the country and has taught over 300 students a month while helping animals
