Problem captured.

 For a while we have been facing a problem to acquire funding through government grant. There is a great initiative by the Government of India to support our startup ecosystem by means of funding. One such initiative is SISFS (Startup India Seed Fund Scheme). We were rejected multiple times by the incubators. Upon close inspection of the cause of rejection (this is very important in any venture) I found out that  "there is a need to draw a clear line between incubator and accelerator. Accelerators are programmes run by investment agencies to provide investment to already established and settled startups for their expansion or development. Incubators on the other hand are agencies that support startups during their very initial phase." Really hoping to secure funding for our incubation this season.

Son, "Dad, but the world's market is going to go downwards any time now. We need to start saving before t...

Business model

It was during our incubation program that we were given an interesting task by our mentor Mr. Shaikh Sir. "Can you draw a simple picture which represents your business ideology. It should not contain any words; it should not be very complex, and it should be too the point." The exercise itself proved to be very hard but immensely useful nonetheless as it resulted in this: - This is the pictorial representation of our business ideology at SuperSchool. It is said that new technology takes away jobs or replace the employees in the very least. The opposite is that new technology or new features add on to the price of existing products and services. Education sector being a very cost cutting sector, a huge segment of our education industry cannot afford the luxury of trying on new technologies. SuperSchool having its own pioneering technology and vision directed towards a specific purpose doesn't take away any jobs or even doesn't add up to the cost of education. The above...
