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

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

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.

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)

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 !

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.
