Why - Need 2, Policy, 

How 2,Theory 3, Model 2, Implement 2, Future 1 

1. INTRODUCTION - Student Startups 

What to do in HE ! No,  and But ,  How I did it !  

Nothing to loose !  If  a student starts !

Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy - Conversion ! 

Earning is Learning and Learning is Earning ! 

Failure is much bigger Learning ! Success is also Learning ! 

2. PRACTICE  - NOT Right Models of Student Startups  !  Wrong (3) ;  10 Young enterpreneurs who graduates from college into a business of their own ! Great news ! Very Unique distinction ! 

- None of the 10 Young enterpreneurs joined  the academic studies with a direct or and a indirect intention to start a startup or and to become an enterpreneur ! 

- None of them is guided intentionally or unintentionally by the academic institution and  faculty to become an enterprneur ! 

- If there exists a profile for the right student  who can start, survive, and succeed a startup and become a successful enterpreneur ? 

- Are there any lessons for faculty, and colleges to glean a method to initiate student startups ? 

- If  any, the academic learnt  the lessons and implemented the essence of the book content and intent?

- Why and why not the academic could learn lessons and implemented ? What are the impedements for facutly and academic to implement such an endeavour ? 

- Who are the right students, who are the right faculty ,  which is the right subject / discipline and which is  the right colleges to institutionalize and encourage and embed startups as part of the academic studies ? 

-  Is there a pedagogical model that can be gleaned out of the 10 stories ? -  Is there a method / path for a student to become an enterpreneur ?

These are the questions any academic will be looking for answers if hands are laid on this book. 

The author herself did  MBA from an illustrious IIM and claimed to be an self employed - professional author  who opted out of typical B school placements ! 

Take cases from ..Arise and Awake - Rashmi Bansal Story too !  First Student Enterpreneurs - Michel Dell - 

" A Journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. But the road is slippery and wet. You dont have the right shoes. You dont have Google Maps" . (p.11 Rashmi ) .. With this mindset, the whole startup  journey is unnecessarily turned into unwarranted challenge, crazy act,  which only miniscule of students will be able to and willing to take to the path ! 

Most Pessimistic Paradigm author assumes when talked of a Student Startup! 

It is nothing wrong  for a author like Rashmi Bansal, to assume so ! Yes, The author has every right to do so ! But need not be the same paradigm, every other interested in student starutps must assume !  There are alternate paradigms available to make possible student startups !  

1. Journey is NOT THOUSAND Miles long..                                    

2. Neither the Road is slippery and wet..        

3. The student is having the RIGHT Shoes .........

4.  Also has got Maps 

3. PRACTICE - Not RIGHT books for Entrepreneurship or Startups ! 

 -  Entrp Boooks are useless.. 

    Check the books on entrepreneurship and Startups.. Check the chapters given.. 20 Chapters ! It is impossible for a student to read  the chapters and start implementing the chapters in sequence. It is impossible to follow. Rarely people follow such academic game plan to start and get into entrepreneruship . For novice people,  existing books are almost irrelevant. Rather they are harmful and hindrances. That is the reason why more and most of the youth dont get exposed to enterpreneurship . 

Take examples.. None of us, who learnt walking, rarely took the help of a book to walk ! Even our parents

-   Startup Books are equally useless 

-   B Plans and Competitions  are equally useless

  • How to turn out Ethical Educated !

  HIGHER EDUCATION - Institution and Students ! 

  • Good of the institute  OR Good of the student ! 
  • Self reliance of the Student Vs. Self reliance of the Institute !
  • Detach and SEPARATE the student !  UNIT of FOCUS  is the STUDENT - Not the INSTITUTE 
Higher Edn students are adults, they have their own needs, youthful and full dedicated. They can take the things into their own hands and work. They need not go by others. 

What they wish to do in the university or in the college must be decided by THEMSELVES. 
Faculty cant and must not decide for the young adults. 


7. Is HIGHER EDUCATION Solution !  OR a Problem  for itself ! 

  • Problems of Education
  • Employability; Educated as Job rejectors ;  Educators as Job givers 
  • Economics of Education 
  • Ethical Education
  • Perpetuation of Sanathana Shiksha
  • Education itself  is the Problem - Not the Solution in current content and intent ! 

5.  Higher Education and Entrepreneurship - Is it PATH or Destination ! 

  • Entrepreneurship and Indian Higher Education : Size and Strength 
  •  Is if it is harnessed and cashified ? Impact of E Cells in the colleges is nullified !  
  • Entrp in HE focus is Enterprises and Enterpreneurs ! The Problem 
  • Acads and Enterprising are logger heads for students ! 
  • Acads treat.. Entrp as - Different, Parallel and Outside
  • Balancing  academic studies and enterprising is the issue
  • How come embedding, blending of startups is missing ! 

8 .  ENTERPRENEURSHIP - ENTERPRISING: Understanding Vs. Misunderstanding ?  

  • Enterprising is not understood in right perspective
  • Multiple levels,  Not one single format and definition .. Starting Up ! 
  • Application, Productive Practice, and Earning  are multiple formats of enterprising !
  • Selling - Registering - Launching are the multiple ways 

8. POLICY Support  to Student Startups 

  • AICTE 2016 to  AICTE 2019 Policy 
  • 2017 to 2024 GOI Startup India Policy 
  • Student Startup Policies in universities and colleges 

8 .  Student Startups - Higher Education ?  

  • Students seek help from the academics 
  • Academics rarely understand the needs and  help the students 
  • So, what can be done ! So, what need be done ! So, how to go about ! 

9. Higher Education and  Entrepreneurship , Startups  : T H E O R Y 

Length - Breadth - Depth ; Lambayi - Choudayee - Gahrayi 

Past Spending - Future Earning - Present Living 

-  If a Startup is NOT centered on studies, then it is NOT !  Why to studies? 

-  If a Startup is NOT embed

9. T H E O R Y of Student Enterprising : 

Students and Suitable Enterprising 

All and every enterprising startup models may not, need not suit to every  other student.  What type of enterprising is best suitable ! What are the problems in adopting existing  startup models ? What caution one need to observe ? 

What is the typical profile of graduate students ? any idea and guess ! 

 - Most of the students rarely have work experience ; engaged in earning ; 
-  Most of the students are fresh to and not exposed to real world of work
-  Most of the students are book worms and limited to four walls of colleges, classrooms , libraries  
-  Enterprising will be naive and first dots for most of them
-  Students are also supposed to carry out enteprising along with their regular academic studies. Studies is considered by the colleges, faculty, parents and society including they themsleves as primary thing. 
-  Students if they need to engage in enterprising, then it will be deemed to be incidental and derived task rather than important and significantly related to their academics

What a Student Startup is NOT  ? 

-  If a Startup is NOT centered on studies, then it is NOT !  Why to center on studies? 

-  If a Startup is NOT embedded as part of academic learning program, it is NOT ! Why not ?

-  If a Startup  is to NOT focused on creating learning excellen ce and  NOT focused to create excellent learner, but focus on creating an Excellent Enterprise / Venture, and a Excellent Entrepreneur, it is NOT a student startup ! Why not ? 

Crush, Crazy, Interesting, Passionate, Challenge type Student Start Ups are not! Why not ? 

Enterprising  is made something a CRAZY ( Rashmi , p.120)  thing done by the  students !  

Student Enterprising is NOT a thing students who are passionate to do it ! It is the Curriculum  that leads the Student enterprising ! It is a startup  that the faculty need to  do ! 

- Not even a CRUSH on something - Students fall in love with ! ( P. 97. Innovese tech .. Rashmi ) 

-  Student Enterprising is made into CHALLENGE students are willing to undertake !

Ideal thing is not that  a student must pursue a CHALLENGE  which one wants to do !   One can imagine how tough and difficult for a student to execute any challenge ! Is it feasible and viable for a student to do so ? Is it worth to pursue such a challenge ? How wise to use the study time for an alternate pursuit of CHALLENGE !  

How much wastage such an enterprise involves ? How few students will realise the true benefits of student startup and emerge successful ? 

When a proper understanding develops among the academics of the benefits of a student startup ? How to develop such an understanding is the true challenge the academics face today ! 

The reason why the student startups is not popular is that  most faculty rarely realise the benefit of ENTERPRENEURIAL LEARNING ! Faculty say, students are not interested; On the contrary, faculty say that faculty have no interest in enterpreneurial learning ! Even some  faculty say, most students and most faculty are incapable of availing the enterprneueurial learning ! 

THE  Dangers and Difficulties and PROBLEM related to Student Startups !  

1. Students are UNWILLING  for a Student Startup !

2. Students are willing but engage in UNRELATED startup ! 

2. Colleges and faculty rarely EMBED the Student Enterprise as part of the studies 

4.  A student startup as DIFFERENT from curricular,  best way to make it  I M P O S S I B L E ! 

2. Students seek help of the academics.. Which rarely it comes ! 

 A STUDENT STARUTP IS ANY OTHER ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENT  DONE AS PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE CURRICULAR LEARNING  SIMILAR TO  CLASS ATTENDANCE, QUIZ, EXAMINATION, PROJECT,  WRITING A TERM PAPER ETC !  Only difference is that it pervades beyond the regular academic assignment relating to one chapter,  one course, one module, one quarter, one semester, one year, one program , to one student , one faculty ! 

Varieties of Student Starting up 

1. Focus ; Startup for Studies Vs. Enterprise for Enterprise 

2. Embedded : Intra Curricular  Vs. Extra curricular

3. Results Size : Big Outcomes Vs. Important Outcomes  

4. Outcome : Tangible Vs. Intangible 

5. Periodicity : Regular Vs. Irregular 

6. Type : Discrete Vs. Seamless Integration  

7. Correlation: Co Related  Vs. Not Related

8. Initiative of  : Institute Vs. Student 

9. Enterprise Owner : Of Student Vs. Not of the student , Mera Mehnath- Mera Karcha - Mera AaamDaani 

What IS a Student Startup ?  Pillars of Higher Education learning 

-  Learning Effort based, Cumulate Learning efforts !  Saha Veeryam !

-  Kara Vavahe ! Karma Yoga !  Sadhana; Shrama ; Vidya Viniyogath ! 

- Tejaswi Naavadeetha Masthu ! Vutpadak Shiksha,- Mulya Nirman; 

-  Samband ( Correlation)

- Atma Nirbhar Shiksha;  Vidya Vikasa ha !  

- Earning as .. the Proof of LEARNING !

  • Nazar  Kahe !  Aur Nishana Kahe ! Focus is Learning - Target is .. Self Reliance !

Why the NEED for a Student Startup mode of Learning ? 

- Time - Enough time is there for HE Students  ( Only 20 % student is accounted  for edn ) 

- Talent - Harnessing How is the real question  ( What all done in the college goes as W A S T E ) 

- Effort / Labour  is Wasted , Need to use it positively

- Need is Pedagogical ! Currently available methods and their impact is already visible ( New Learning)

Student engagements in a typical college  is ..  C U L T U R E !

-  Traditions, Habits, Culture,

-  Internships, Projects, Competitions, Cultural festivals 

-  Research symposiums , Paper Publications, Innovations

What IS a Student StartUper ? 

-  Students acquire loads of INFORMATION. S/he needs a PROBLEM where to apply the information acquired and solve the problem. Good problem is not that problem  which flashed in the students mind. Bur any idiotic idea which allows to apply acquired student information. Students and faculty usually pay no respect for idiotic ideas. They usually eye on what is called 'break through'  'deep tech' new generation ideas.  Any and every PROBLEM that allows to apply the information that the students are endowed with. 

ACTION coupled with PROPER Direction !  Major and Mission r merged ! Economic of Education!

The question is NOT .. Why should a law student go into business ? 

An English literature student making earning through english language ! 

Why NOT a law student go into LAW business (Arul Garg, Bhukkad p.141 ) 

The right question is, Why should a law student go into  a FOOD business ? If so, why not the law student leave the law studies and take admission in food and beverages college and as well fulfill his calling to continue the food business ? 

How come a law student run a food business in a college without a food license, nor did he pay taxes ? (p.147) How far this is justified for a national law university to encourage its own law student to do  food business on its own campus ? (P.147)  True learning is not  to sacrifice 'the learning' and leading the student to learn something else that is not the mission ; In reality it is not even Balancing but BLENDING  many things in tandem... 

What is wrong for a CA student go into FORENSIC FRAUD business ? (Apurva Joshi p.170) 

What is  for a software engg student to get into a software business as part of software course? ( Practo 

Why NOT IIT B  lead its  civil engineering students to initiate civil engg related business ? ( IPS,   ) 

What is wrong if a MBA Student launches startup providing housing facilities ? ( Anurag Arora, P.157) 

It is unfortunate that the Student Enterpreneurs .. deep  into their startup businesses leave their studies to lurch and work to get the degree some how .. It is . In reality it is the other way round.  To make possible a degree that is worthy and  the best, students are marched on to the PATH  called Student Startup !  ( Bukkad, p. 153)   

F O U R  Principles of Student Startup 

-  In Edn , Through Edn, For Edn 

-  Enterprise involves NO extra effort / work; In fact, work is reduced; Regular work itself is Re Used 

-  No Wastage - Principle ! 

-  Do it Lean, Light, Low, Tiny, and Tight ! 

-  Student Startup is 

-  Part and Parcel of regular curricular learning 

-  Path of learning for all 100 % Students. All students participate - not by few interested students !   

Contemporary Literature: Effectuation, Lean Startup ; Value Creation; Bread Labour; Design Thinking

EIV Theory:  1. Students are lead to convert the academic work they do, into a Startup (Expectancy) ; Startup accrues certain benefits (Instrumentality) to students; Students 'Value'  those benefits (Valence

Student Startup is the Pedagogy of Higher Education 

Entrp in Colleges: Big Concern .. 

Leap of Faiths  in Education and Learning ! 

Academic need be Soulless ! 

Learning Work in a College is.. a Hurdle  to Cross ! 

It is Wasted, Does not form Central in HE Student life ! 

CW is Instrumental, has no Valence for itself ! 

Background and past credentials  of a student are .. Basis for teaching and learning !  

Hard work is Valuable ! If only validated ! 

Business is for Business Students !  Not for other students ! 

Entrp (startup) is like 'Falling in Love / Crush'! .. So unfortunate p.97 Rashmi !  Love and Startups are equated ! ..Top class bewa koofi ! 

Motivation, Telling, B Plans , Words ( not Work) , Pumping up are the Learning !

When a student is Locked up in a room and  engaged in R R R -  Merit and brilliance is created ! Everybody cannot be Entrepreneur ! ( Dr Balaji ) .. There is story here ! 

Exams and Marks are Learning indices..  90 Vs. 10 % marks : What does mean !   

Placements are Success indices ! .. Dangerous to believe this in this era ! 

Research is defined as ...  UnCashification !

Ownership is discounted / underrated ! 

  • What is done  by the student is forgotten..  and not the focus !  
  • Goal of life to Goal of Learning.. Here and now indices ! 

Criteria for Student Enterprising 

Less than 1 to 1 : This is Moral Excellence 

                        1 : Academic Excellence  

1 and More than 1: Pupil Excellence

Pick up National Holidays list.. and give only the dates and days.. dont mention the National Days ! See how the reaction will be ! 

---------

Several questions.. becomes irrelevant: 

What study is right to do ? 

What to be taught ? Is learning career focused or issue focused ? 

What job  one will get ? 

How much  wait will be for the job ? 

How much salary one gets ?  

Whether  one is learning?  All these qns become irrelevant !

------------

New methods of Learnaing - is one important section along with Startups ! 

- Productive Learning  - Student Startups ! - Self Directed Learning ! - Self Owned Learning ! Self Directed Earning !

( Self driven cars, Self administered injections ! One can  watch ones surgical operation !  One can see once baby delivery ! ) 

- Mandi based Projects, Collaborative Projects, Corelated  Cashified Projects 

Andragogy, Autodidaxy, Heutagogy, Techno heutagogy..(p.145 ..I am againest Book !) 

-------------------

Interaction between two individuals is NOT for winning, not for exploitering, not to just convince and influence etc. The very purpose of interaction for the learner is to  understand the world,  understand the self, understand the reasons and origins for DUKH  in the world ! Understands the SATYA in an NON VIOLENT way, in a way one wont dye, and loose ( need not be profiting!) . 

The information, idea , product or service is only a prop and an excuse to reach to the world.
