My Portfolio of International Certifications
My Journey in Entrepreneurship: Learning, Mentorship, and Innovation with IPAM Centre of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
During my time at university, I developed a strong passion for entrepreneurship, which has been a driving force in my academic and professional journey. I had the privilege of being part of the IPAM Centre of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, where I immersed myself in a variety of entrepreneurial initiatives. These included participating in training sessions, business idea incubation, and startup development programs, all of which allowed me to gain valuable insights into the entrepreneurial landscape.
Through this experience, I also had the opportunity to engage in workshops and mentorship sessions, collaborating with experts and thought leaders in the field. This was made possible through partnerships with esteemed institutions such as the London School of Economics (LSE) and LSE Generate, with Dr. Paroma Bhattacharya, Head of Social Innovation at LSE Generate, playing a pivotal role as a facilitator. These interactions not only deepened my understanding of business development but also gave me practical tools and strategies to apply in real-world scenarios.
This exposure to entrepreneurship has shaped my approach to problem-solving and innovation, and it continues to inspire my passion for helping others create and scale their own ventures.
A Pivotal Moment: Presenting My Business Idea to Potential Donors
Being given the opportunity to share my business idea with the general public, especially in the eyes of potential donors, was a groundbreaking moment for me as an entrepreneur. It marked a significant milestone in my journey, allowing me to not only present my vision but also gain valuable exposure to those who could help turn that vision into a reality.
The experience was not only empowering but also humbling, as it provided me with a platform to showcase the potential impact of my business idea. It was an invaluable opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals, potential partners, and donors who share a passion for supporting innovative ideas that can drive change. This moment reaffirmed my commitment to entrepreneurship and the importance of collaboration in building a sustainable future.
