On 26th September 2024, the Jaipuria Institute of Management (JIM), in collaboration with the Institution's Innovation Council (IIC), hosted an inspiring motivational session titled "MY STORY; My Journey Towards Success". This event aimed to inspire students to embark on their entrepreneurial journeys by learning from the experiences of successful business owners. The session, led by Mr. Mayank Tiwari, the founder and owner of DistributorsChannels.com, focused on the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship. Mr. Tiwari shared personal anecdotes, from the inception of his business idea to the hurdles he overcame while building his successful enterprise. His story was not just about business growth but about resilience, passion, and a strong belief in one's own potential.
Session Highlights:
- Entrepreneurship Fundamentals: Mr. Tiwari walked students through the key steps of entrepreneurship-from idea generation to business execution.
- Real-Life Experiences: He shared the obstacles he faced in establishing his company, highlighting how he managed financial challenges, identified market gaps, and built a customer base.
- Passion and Resilience: One of the key takeaways was the importance of staying resilient in the face of challenges and maintaining passion for your vision.
- Actionable Business Tips: Mr. Tiwari provided valuable advice on market research, resource management, and understanding customer needs, which can make a significant difference in the early stages of a business.
The session lasted for 2 hours and saw the participation of 36 students, 3 faculty members, and 1 external guest. It was a great opportunity for students to learn directly from an entrepreneur who has walked the path of building a business from scratch. By the end of the session, students not only gained theoretical knowledge but also practical insights into the entrepreneurial world.
Outcomes of the Session:
- Understanding the Entrepreneurial Journey: Students learned how to transform an idea into a viable business.
- Motivation for Future Entrepreneurs: The session inspired students to consider entrepreneurship as a career path and to approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset.
- Actionable Knowledge: Practical insights from Mr. Tiwari on resource management, identifying market needs, and building a loyal customer base gave students the tools they need to succeed in their ventures.
