Lean Startup Workshop 2 motivates budding entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship is not about dreaming but to act. Sharing of knowledge and support among themselves is a must.

IMPHAL, May 30: Dynamic Manipur in collaboration with Globizs Web Solutions and MIMS, MU organized its second workshop event series ‘Lean Startup worshop’ at Hotel Yaiphaba Thangal Bazar Imphal here today.

The workshop is organized with the objective of building up a Startup eco-system in Manipur which can help in creating more number of successful entrepreneurs thereby solving the unemployment problems and bringing a sustainable economic solution.

Managing Director of Globizs Web Solution Roshinikumar Yambem and Business start up expert from USA, CEO Zeenova Inc and Co-Founder and VP Eng and Strategy, Akasia Inc. Gautam Thokchom spoke on the needs in starting up a business during the workshop.

Gautam Thokchom, CEO Zeenova Inc and Co-Founder and VP Eng and Strategy, Akasia Inc. said that entrepreneurship is an absolute freedom what a man wants whatever he wants to do. It is not about dreaming but to act. Entrepreneurs should not be considered as people who are earning money for themselves, but as people who are contributing to the society by providing employment to many jobless.

He said advised the aspiring entrepreneurs to not lose heart at the initial failure, but to work harder.

Delivering his speech as resource person, Managing Director of Globizs Web Solution Roshinikumar Yambem said for every entrepreneur, learning ‘failed fast, succeed fast is a must. A business cannot succeed without experiencing failures in the initial stage. Success stories of many entrepreneurs were scripted after experiencing failures.

Entrepreneurs are new kind of breeds among human beings. Society is the stakeholder of the entrepreneurs’ business enterprise. When the entrepreneurs fall down, the society too falls down. In the context of Manipur, knowledge sharing and mutual co-operation among the entrepreneurs is very poor. For achieving success in business, knowledge sharing and support among the entrepreneurs is a must, he observed.

He said that a budding entrepreneur, before launching his product, should have a clear cut long vision, good business plan and the scope of customers who would use the product. Without customers, every business flops.

He said that the lean startup event is an endeavour to extract the ideas of global business methodology and apply the same in our local business context.

The event was organized with support from the sponsoring Partners like Marina Spring, Shija Hospitals, Babina Diagnostics, FRANCHISE India, Hotel Classic, Imphal, Globizs Web Solutions, Manipur Creations, HVS Constructions Materials Pvt. Ltd while MIMS, Manipur University, Korea Manipuri Association (KMA), North American Manipur Association (NAMA), Green Biotech, Likla – Thangjam Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd., Imphal, WiseWorld Immigration and Education Consultants, Toronto, Canada as endorsing parters.

The workshop was attended by 30 registered participants who are aspiring and came to the workshop with a business idea.

Children of EMA parents also had a good time in the pleasant sunshine of temperature 15-20 degrees Celsius. They also enjoyed the most popular game, Chaphuthugaibi which seemed to be their favorite apart from them organizing a fund raising campaign themselves for orphans in Manipur. The fund drive was conducted by selling their unused toys and eatables prepared with their parents.

The gathering also had their annual General Body Meeting and this year happens to be the election year for a new EMA Executive Committee. Members had an exhaustive discussions on how to make EMA better as a platform for Manipuri Diaspora’s residing in different parts of Europe. A mutual understanding was reached for members to be actively involved in exploring ways to incorporate EMA as an organization to the changing needs of the time which will help the association function better and in an effective way. Some amendments in the Constitution were also passed by the general body. The General Body also elected a new Executive Committee members through proposals of candidates and voting . The EMA Executive Committee 2015-2017 are Chairperson – Dr. Krishnananda Sharma Shamurailatpam, General Secretary – Indrasekhar Mayengbam, Finance Secretary – Sobita Khangembam , Information Secretary – Rajesh Sharma Hidangmayum, Cultural Secretary – Bijaya Hijam and Sports Secretary – Deepak Takhelmayum.

The outgoing Chairperson, Mr Bishwajit Okram, thanked the outgoing committee members for selflessly working towards the upliftment of EMA as an orgnisation . He also thanked everyone for giving him the opportunity to serve the community and supporting him in many of the initiatives that he undertook during his tenure. In his speech, the newly elected Chairperson, Dr Krishnananda, also shared his common views and promised that he and his team will do their best to uphold the traditional values of EMA and to protect and preserve the identity of Manipur.

A group photo with women members wearing traditional Manipuri dresses summed up the very existence of EMA upholding and preserving the varied tradition and culture of Manipur and providing its members a platform to give them a feeling of ‘HOME AWAY FROM HOME’. Also a rare opportunity for children born and brought up here in Europe to remind them of their rich traditional and cultural roots.
