The Professor Anil Gupta started the talk with existing problems in all the sectors and how innovators of any age group can solve them. He elaborated that teachers, professors, and principals can become a catalyst for students to enhance their potential as 90-95% of the ideas are left on the desk of the professor. Dr. Gupta brings to the fore that a team of people is needed to make a successful startup as one person doesn’t have all the skills. The team needs different types of people, as we all don’t have all the skills and capabilities to do them. Business, investment, enterprise and potential : combination of all is required. He gave few examples about how the childrens have bought innovations and solutions for existing problems. We need to teach students how to sell their ideas in the market.

The Professor Gupta focused attention on the acknowledgement of the students in the form of certification or any royalty to promote innovation. The professor made a point of testing the prototypes and getting funded by the similar industry/sector for fruitful outcomes. The testing of all the prototypes should be done to check their efficiency. Startups need testing and certificates from authentic organizations to survive in the market. The fund should be provided by an organization, ideas should be presented to them and they can fund them as per their convenience. The district administration should work on supporting these students by connecting them with people and providing them with mentorship. From small to large problems we can find the solution. He added that Gian can help in testing of prototypes.
