Entrepreneurship is analogous to steering through a new territory without a map. How do we find our place in this new universe? Where do we start? When do we finish? How do we maneuver this space? You get into this space with a deep commitment to your idea, your mission, and your desire to explore. What if you find a figuring instrument that can help you sense your reality better? What if you get a hold of maps and models for this difficult terrain? What if this instrument holds the knowledge and experiences of many entrepreneurs, not just one?

That’s exactly what ‘In the Arena – Unleash your Entrepreneurial Spirit, Make your Idea a Roaring Success’ is about. It’s co-authored by 15 entrepreneurs from 9 countries, where the diversity it brings adds to its richness. Click to buy this book.

W e felt very fortunate to have her as a speaker on Innovation and Design Thinking

Meenakshi Babu is such a dynamic, engaging speaker that we felt very fortunate to have her as a speaker on Innovation and Design Thinking. Her keynote presentation (“WHY INNOVATE? A Peek into Innovation and Design Thinking”) was rated by 80% of our student members as “very good to excellent.” The session truly resonated with our students and faculty members of Sri Eshwar College of Engineering and also by senior leaders of our Institute, many of whom are looking for building their products and communicating more effectively across the nation. In her very lively, energizing session, Meenakshi Babu gave them clear tips and, most importantly, actionable suggestions on how to implement these valuable strategies.
