Entrepreneurship is the buzzword now and who better than someone well-known in the start-up realm to instil the spirit of treading the path less travelled? Gaurav Singh Kushwaha, CEO/Founder, BlueStone.com ended up inspiring quite a few students to take up the challenge of setting up their own ventures during his address as chief guest at The Hindu EducationPlus Career Counselling 2015 in Bangalore on Sunday.
“Entrepreneurship is a way of life for those not satisfied with status quo,” he said.
TurnoutOver 700 students in Classes 10, 11 and 12/PU and their parents attended this year’s session, most of them clarifying a wide range of questions on the scope of various courses – from aeronautical to paramedical, marine and sound engineering to the different options for humanities students.
With over half the audience having written either the Common Entrance Test or the Undergraduate Entrance Test, the session was the ideal platform for them.
