Design Thinking of Innovation

Insight :  When I started this course, all I knew was that the word entrepreneur means a business person who  takes responsibility for the company. I didn’t even know that a subject like this even exists. I was  bored at the beginning but slowly started liking it because of the engaging examples. One day,  Sushant was teaching how people start their start-ups. To back that, he explained how two students  invented coffee bars as a solution to have coffee wherever they want. I was astonished to learn how  a simple idea could cause an innovation. My interest in this course has never dulled down after that.  The other day we had a breakout session during the lecture. In that session, we were asked to give a  two-minute talk about an Indian company. In the beginning, I had stage fear but have gotten rid of it  with the help of the presentations we had to give weekly. It also made me confident and mentally  stable. I was more invested in the course because of these sessions. The activities are not only fun  but also encourage to think out of the box. Day by day, I learned new things. This knowledge is  beneficial in the future if I want to become an entrepreneur and start a business properly.   Challenge:  There is a detailed steps breakup of how to discover one's self through entrepreneurship. In step  one, it helped me to know about my originality, unique strengths, and abilities. In step two to four, it  helped me to understand how to manage a team. Through the team project, I learned how to  manage people. It also helped me to assess people and their abilities. By this, I can utilize my  resources to get maximum productivity. I got a proper idea of how a group of people or an individual  can solve a problem and how this solution can grow into a successful company. When I didn’t know  much about entrepreneurship, I thought that starting a company is an easy task and we just need  investors. But I learned that starting a business needs much more than financial support. It requires  an immense amount of dedication and vision towards the goal. Adding to that, it involves a lot of  risks. Because it can be a Go or No-Go situation. So, I realized that an entrepreneur has to be brave  enough to face the hurdles that come along his way to achieve success.   Approach:

I have perceived my ethics and core values. This course broadened my thinking and inspired me to  be a better self. If it weren't for this course, I wouldn't have discovered myself in this way ever.
