Rigor Meets Real World Relevance

Our programs blend academic depth with hands-on frameworks that make entrepreneurial leadership usable in the real world. We turn concepts into capabilities — so learners don’t just understand entrepreneurship, they practice it.

Custom-Built for the Audience We Serve

From students to faculty, executives to homemakers, and communities to retirees — we design unique learning paths for each group. No templates. No copy-paste. Every program is crafted for the people it empowers.

Ecosystem Thinking, Not just Training

We help institutions build whole entrepreneurial ecosystems — curriculum, culture, capacity, partnerships, and pathways that last. The result: outcomes that endure beyond a workshop, semester, or cohort.

Founder Director

Science of Startup began while I was a researching entrepreneurship at IIM Indore soon after my stint as Head of Operations at one of India’s leading incubators, NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore. I was consulting with incubators, universities, and communities. Then I took a detour – building India’s first multidisciplinary entrepreneurship center at Ramaiah University from scratch, scaling to 2,700+ students across 30+ disciplines beyond B-school, and partnering with Babson College to co-create curriculum. That chapter allowed me to test the frameworks at scale and deal first-hand with incentives and impediments to innovation in institutions. Three decades in technology, startups, and academia taught me that entrepreneurship education works best when it’s systematic, cross-disciplinary, and contextually grounded. After leading entrepreneurship initiatives, delivering programs across diverse audiences and building India’s first multidisciplinary entrepreneurship center, through Science of Startup I help institutions  build entrepreneurship programs that transform, not just inspire – armed with proven frameworks and the scars to prove they work.
