Mr. Gaurav Singh, impact entrepreneur and co-creator of the Impact Startup Academy, communicated his thoughts by saying, “Our objective is to create a course that offers comprehensive knowledge that individuals require to create a world changing impact startup, share inspirational examples to help them aspire, persevere and introduce them to a community of like-minded builders to collaborate with and lean on. We hope that the Impact Startup Academy will assist participants in becoming a more confident impact founder, ensuring profitability and simultaneously prioritising purpose. We are looking forward towards the beginning of cohort 1 and ensuring a holistic learning atmosphere.”
The Impact Startup Academy is a result of a strategic collaboration between build3 and Mr. Gaurav Singh, an Ashoka & Echoing Green fellowship awardee. The virtual course will equip individuals with the necessary knowledge and inspiration to start, while also providing the opportunity to meet like-minded entrepreneurs. Upon course completion, build3 will provide participants with a certificate, however, eligible participants may also opt for a UGC-recognised certificate from Srishti Manipal Institute (a constituent of MAHE, Manipal).
