Over 1,000 professionals, and 400 IIT
Bombay students braved the rain on Saturday, for a flood of insights into
the entrepreneurial journey. UpGrad, an online education venture for working
professionals, hosted ‘Learn and Grow’ in partnership with iimjobs.com, Matrix
Partners and IIT Bombay eCell.
At ‘The Road to Scale’ panel discussion, Tarun
Davda, Director Matrix Venture Partners refined his experiences as an
investor within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, into a three-point mantra,
“Hungry, hustling and humble.” Ronnie Screwvala, Co-Founder,
UpGrad reinforced that “phenomenal leaders have an extreme sense of
humility.”
Ambareesh Murty, CEO & Co-Founder
Pepperfry stressed the
need for flexibility, “Never be attached to anything you own,” while Advitiya
Sharma, Co-Founder Housing.com pushed for drive and passion,
“Do work that makes you fully proud or else keep sitting.”
The verdict was out on whether
entrepreneurship can be taught, with Murty arguing for hands-on experience and
Davda staking education as the necessary foundation.
