The countdown for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, has begun.
The international conference is scheduled to begin on November 28 and will end on November 30. Global speakers are trooping into the city and the excitement is palpable. A speaker from Denmark, Mr Rasmus Wiinstedt Tscherning, said, “There has never been a better or more inspirational time to be an entrepreneur.”
Mr Tscherning is the CEO and founder of Creative Business Cup, the global network supporting creative and innovative entrepreneurs. He has previously participated in a GES as well. In this seminar, he will be moderating an extremely interesting panel debate titled, “From the Drawing Board to the Boardroom: Creative Entrepreneurs.” He will be sharing the stage with fashion entrepreneur Anita Dongre and Rohini Dey, the founder and owner of Vermilion Restaurants.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Mr Tscherning said, “Gathering these many people who are all relentlessly working to create an awesome global start-up eco-system and providing some kick-ass solutions to the world’s toughest challenges can only be an insp rational experience.”
Martial arts expert from Thailand and the founder of Asia’s largest global sports media property, ONE Championship, Mr Chatri Sityodtong, will be speaking at the GES as well. His topic will be, “The Business of Winning at Sports Entrep-reneurship” along with Indian sportspersons like renowned cricketer Harsha Bhogle and the Captain of Indian Women’s Cricket Team, Mithali Raj, amongst others.
Mr Sityodtong said, “Though being an entrepreneur is different from being a martial artist, I can confidently say that the lessons I have learnt through martial arts have directly impacted my life and the way I hold my business. Without martial arts, I wouldn’t be standing here today living the life of my dreams.” He believes that martial arts is a sport of human values and human potential. “It teaches us tradition and how we as a people can grow with values of integrity, humility, honour, respect, courage and discipline,” he added.
