This is just a Thanks Note to appreciate your efforts of knowledge sharing.In my view, knowingly or unknowingly, you are actually creating hundreds of Ankur Warikoo around the world. Not sure if you feel a Sense of Liberation at this stage of time but I see you there already. India or honestly the world needs real-life Role Models like yourself in every field.

NIKHIL VERMA
The course was very informative and concise. To the point practical knowledge was shared throughout the course. Your method of using 2*2 matrices was very helpful to understand the concept with great clarity.

I got to know so many new aspects of startup world. I wish I could have purchased and watched this course before starting my startup. My startup idea is not fit anywhere as per framework suggested by you. I could not started my startup and could have saved money and efforts. I have learned that i should not venture into something before taking full understanding and learning of the same. Investing in education can prevent making losses. This Course is 10x value for money.

Ganesh Nandore
From improving my public speaking skills to mastering effective listening techniques, every aspect of the course resonated deeply with me. The real-life examples and practical exercises provided a hands-on approach that allowed me to immediately apply the concepts learned, resulting in noticeable improvements in my day-to-day communication. The skills I acquired have had a positive impact on both my personal and professional life. I now feel more capable of expressing myself clearly, connecting with others more effectively, and handling challenging conversations with confidence.

Abishek S
The course is really genuine and is clearly felt the hardworking and home work you have put in bringing this.Course is well structured and a full crash course and an eye opener for people with ideas to escape some of the common pitfalls.I really liked your opening and closing statement of to think why do you want to be an entrepreneur. I have the answer to that and figuring out the answer to when.
