Startup Yatra was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions which instilled values of entrepreneurship, leadership and sheer confidence among students such as I(Arjesh) and my Teammate(Gargi). We are extremely obliged to Startup Odisha for providing the platform, support and encouragement for business enthusiasts like us to get the proper guidance, funds as well as infrastructure to develop our prototypes.

From a student’s perspective the ideas we conceptualise are always theoretical, and to my delight, the practical aspects were fulfilled by Startup Odisha Yatra 2.0 wave. The entire experience was thrilling, as I dived into the ocean of entreprenuership for the first time. The lessons I learnt, suggestions I received during startup yatra 2.0 will remain with me for life.
