Why did you decide to sign up for CORe?

CORe was my way of exploring the next game changer in education. The content and faculty were outstanding, and I knew it would be a great way to explore new perspectives and to build a network of like-minded people.

What was your favorite part of the program?

The highlight of the program was the content. With so many things distracting us online today, it is extremely difficult to keep somebody engrossed for longer durations. CORe nails this part with its content and delivery. From the videos with guest business executives to the interactive elements to the way we're continually tested via cold calls, CORe keeps you engaged through and through.

In fact, as CORe progressed, a lot of the time I dedicated to it was surprisingly the time I would otherwise spend on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. CORe actually managed to distract me from my distractions!

What do you do for work?

I run a tech start-up called ThinkScream. We specialize in setting up mass-scale WiFi solutions. ThinkScream has been judged as being one of the top five companies for Networked India by CNN-IBN. Also, our award-winning product, the WiFi TrashBin, has been covered extensively across Indian and international media.

How are you applying what you've learned in CORe?

Being an entrepreneur, every concept I learned in CORe was immediately applicable to my company. My understanding of how business works got much stronger. For me, the change CORe brings about in you is extremely subtle. It's like you're looking through the world with a completely different perspective altogether, yet it's so obvious.
