A talk on “From your Ph.D./Master’s Thesis to a start-up” was announced as a part of the IIC program on 23rd of April, 2021 which was delivered by Dr. Anand Deshpande, Founder and CMD, Persistent Systems. As a part of the MIC calendar activity, we at Suren Das College, Hajo, Kamrup (R), Assam joined the session from 11 AM on the notified date and maintained all the COVID protocols during the session. More than 60 numbers of faculties and students had joined this online talk. The talk was very interesting and was very much aligned with the present-day scenario of being self-reliant. Start-ups are a mind-training opportunity that can shape our thinking from academia into practice. This can help with project management, communication skills and presenting ideas, useful skills for any future job. Start-ups require skills such as self-awareness, teamwork, developing ideas, addressing an audience, and executing a presentation, all these things we also require within the PhD. If we value independence, creativity, and autonomy, we are already suitable for becoming an entrepreneur. A startup might be the right path and with the right motivation and resources, one could make his/her idea work. This talk was an eye-opener to the fact that whilst as a student one could find the right entrepreneurship and train themselves at the college and university level. This training can not only contribute to taking up good entrepreneurship as a potential career path but will also develop the skills that are used during the PhD work and would definitely help in becoming more confident in these.
