LAUNCH ALERT* - https://club.tamilpreneur.in/ Today is Thiru. K Kamarajar’s birth anniversary. One of the greatest reformers of education in TamilNadu who was instrumental in starting around 21,000 Elementary schools, 27,000 Primary schools, 450 libraries across Tamilnadu during 1950s. The education rate which was only 7% that time rose to 37%. As a result of this, today Tamilnadu’s Gross Enrollment Ratio in Higher Education is at 50% (top 3 in India). At the same time, I came across States Startup Report 2019 where Tamilnadu was not even in top 20 out of the 28 states in India. I was disappointed as this continued in 2020 as well. We spoke to over 700 students and found that one in every two students has got an idea to try but lack the awareness on how to proceed further. So, there is a huge potential among college students to change this scenario. They don’t know whom to reach out to. They don’t have the motivation. Today on Kamarajar’s birth Anniversary, we are happy to launch TP Club. What is TP Club? A digital forum that showcases everything that revolves around startups and entrepreneurship in Tamil Nadu. Why Should you join ? You can find your team, mentor, co-founder, and even interact with the entrepreneurs who have been there done that. On top of this you can stay updated about Startup News and Events. Few people have also landed up on internship, jobs at startup through TP club. There are already hundreds of people who are also startup founders, Alumni from top institutions like IITs /IIMs, and aspiring entrepreneurs in the club. TamilPreneur will be a light bearer to the startup ecosystem in Tamilnadu. What Kamarajar did to education in TN, we will do it for the Startup Ecosystem. Till date, we have educated 100k people about entrepreneurship & startups through our podcast that covers interviews of entrepreneurs, courseware on how to startup and business case studies. The launch of TP club will be an opportunity to take this initiative to even more people. Anybody interested in entrepreneurship can click the below link and join the Club.
