WORDS OF SATISFACTION FROM PARENTS

“Enrolling my child in the Startup Summer School was a very good decision. Not only did they gain real-world business skills, but their confidence and creativity truly blossomed. The mentors were incredibly supportive, and the hands-on experience gave my child a sense of direction. I’m genuinely impressed.”

“When we signed up for the AIC NMIMS Startup Summer School in Bangalore, I didn’t know what to expect but I can say now it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. My daughter came back so excited and full of ideas. Her confidence was out of the world. She actually started thinking like an entrepreneur. The sessions weren’t just educational they were engaging, practical and very inspiring. I’m really thankful to the team for creating such a positive and encouraging space for the young minds.”
