“It is no surprise that entrepreneurship ranks #1 on their list. India has the talent, infrastructure and market available to grow global giants. Entrepreneurship is thus naturally on top of students’ minds as a way of making breakthrough successes. The level of self-awareness in wanting to develop social-emotional skills is amazing for kids as young as 13,” said Sriram Subramanian, CEO, Callido Learning.
“I recently undertook a Junior MBA program which taught me how to design my own business plan. I think learning entrepreneurship is important for teens because it allows us to be independent,” said Ananth Jain from Jai Hind College, Mumbai.
“In today’s world, all industries are changing rapidly. I am keen to learn entrepreneurship because I believe it will let me be one step ahead of others in whichever industry I choose. Entrepreneurship teaches one to be a self-starter.” said Parth Jain, a 14-year-old student from Delhi.
