OBJECTIVE
- To enable attendees to understand the subject matter, identify problem and challenges internally, devise solutions and future roadmap.
- Participants should leave the masterclass with new insights into their business and associated actions required
TiE Pune masterclasses are different as the objective is to enable each participant to solve individual problem (s) during the class.
Masterclasses will be conducted over video conferencing. Knowledge sharing session will be ~45 minutes. This will be followed by problem solving in small breakout sessions and with co-faculty to guide each break out group. In digital format, the breakout exercise can be 45 minutes to few days as decided by the main faculty.
Participants are expected to do self-study and prepare their questions
Problem Solving Philosophy
Participants will be divided into small groups to solve take up case studies specific to individual start-ups. However, masterclass faculty will devise couple of case studies away from their domain to ensure that founders have wider perspectives to analyse and provide solutions to problems posed by fellow TiE entrepreneurs, friends who may be thinking of doing a start-up.
Masterclass Methodology
