Shri Madhu Pandit Dasa, Chairman of
the non-profit organization - The Akshaya Patra Foundation was invited to be on
the television show - Lufthansa Runway to Success. It has a wonderful track
record of three highly successful seasons. It is part of an amazing initiative
to nurture budding business leaders in the country, in partnership with
industry stalwarts.
This multi-stage endeavour is an association between ET NOW and Lufthansa,
together with TiE, the global non-profit network dedicated to fostering
entrepreneurship. The TV series was preceded by a nationwide outreach inviting
startups and SMEs to Runway to Success Mentorship Camps where they received the
benefit of strategic advice from business experts.
With
over 100,000 entries received over its seasons, the series is a popular one. So
far, each year, 21 finalists are selected from the entries and they compete for
the Grand Prize. The prize includes a sponsorship to Stanford University’s
prestigious Design Thinking Boot Camp, a Business Class return ticket to the
US, as well as coveted mentorship from TiE.
Each episode of the television series consists of these two segments:
1. Path-breaking success story of the iconic leader as an
inspiration to entrepreneurs-to-be.
2. B-plan presentation by three startup contestants to the icon,
who then mentors them and selects an episodic winner, together with a venture
capitalist (VC).
Over
the years, this commitment to showcase and nurture India’s entrepreneurial
talent has been supported by leading luminaries across sectors.
