dig deep into the wells of creativity, put on the hats of reason to solve country’s
problem that seems insurmountable and in turn give themselves the opportunity
to create wealth and become job creators. E Week 2018, therefore, calls
on all dreamers, doers, innovators and entrepreneurs to live their
entrepreneurial dream. If you have an idea to start a venture, NOW is the time
to start. If you have ideas to scale your venture, NOW is the time to act.

While reflecting on a successful
10th edition of E-Week 2018, Dr Ajay Kela,
President and CEO, Wadhwani
Foundation said, “With
over a million-youth entering the workforce every month, India needs thousands
of our brightest youth to become job creators rather than job seekers. We need
bold entrepreneurs now more than ever. It isn’t enough to start just another
venture but to widen the reach of our ambition and try to solve tough problems and
scale companies. E week 2018 has successfully instilled this sentiment. We are
elated with the overwhelming response and participation witnessed throughout
the journey of this event”.
