The inauguration of the Thapar Venture Lab (Thapar Innovate) was just finished with success. Here on campus, this is a great advance for creativity and entrepreneurial culture. Along with attending, I was behind the scenes handling logistics and preparation as part of the core IIC TIET team. Acquired a lot of knowledge during the process! Today we had some really intelligent visitors: Director of TIET, Dr. Padmakumar Nair Director, Deputy Professor Ajay Batish Shri R. R. Vederah, Chairmen International Entrepreneurship Advisor Prof. Aard Groen Director Startup Punjab, Mr. Deepinder Dhillon MeitY's Scientist D, Mr. Anurag Kumar The panel discussion on surviving the "death valley" period of startups—Mr. HPS Lamba offered some insightful analysis—was clearly a highlight for me. Seeing student startups like NOT@MRP and Cosmic Attire present their concepts and receiving instant comments from Prof. Prashant Singh Rana was also fantastic. Big shout-out to Aneesh Gopalakrishnan Sir, For direction Dr. Gaganpreet Kaurr Ma'am, gurleen Ma'am and everyone at Thapar Innovate. Could not have done it without my colleagues Balram Maurya , Prarabdh Sharma , Bhavishya Singla , Guneev Taneja , Dir. Ishaan Jindal either. I appreciate you guys smoothing things out. The beginning of this inauguration seems bright. Looking forward to see thoughts become actual influence. Just a quick question: Based on what you say, what one fundamental trait any founder ought to possess?👆
