Mandi and The Leanest Start Up @ NITIE

Maha Mandi @ NITIE : The Leanest Start Up

1.'Heroic Enterpreneurs / People make Great Enterprises' theory is Popular myth 

There are no Great people.. Great enterprises are built by people like you and me . These people have simple ideas,, started as they were, and what they have, It is test, retest, add on, grow,  iterations, how fast one can learn, how fast you set to learn . Pivot that matters..

Unit of progress in Mandi is different from  established management system... efficiently producing things  Vs. fast learning,  how fast one validating the learning 

All big things are made up of small / tiny things  
  

Learn .. Experiment ... Survive... Pivot...

2. VISIONS ! 

There VISIONs ! It is invented ! Unearthed ! one more myth  ! 

Roots of lean start up... Validate the Learning 

Built, Measure, and Learn .. 
Do Opposite what u planned.. Learn, Measure, and Built 

- Through failing, learning is validated, taken to succeed ! 


Big Picture... ( V + S = Big picture ! 

Vision of Mandi .. Big picture of Mandi..( V + S )

Having Mandi...... 

Strategy is subject to change,
Strategy changes more often than Vision.. Vision never changes .

Define.. Startup ..

What is Mandi ? 

Mandi is startup is a setup, consciously designed + with a objective to make students to confront uncertainities and having outcomes either failures / successes but surely not FATAL ( allow to sustain / live / escape and continue ).....

Current academic learning is not  designed on this philosophy. 


Designed on  


- 100 % Certainties 
- No Success and No failure
- No outcomes .. ( Fatal and No fatal ) 
- High Dependencies . Everything is taught, Dependence on others for day to day survival
-----------------------
Success + Learning (Cannot be Fatal.. )

Success + No Learning (Cannot be Fatal..)
--------------------------
Failure + Learning  + ( Fatal.. and Finished
Failure + No Learning + ( Fatal and Finished )
Failure + Huge Learning ( Overcome FATALITY.. and Not got Finished and Survived for next rounds  ) .. Mandi is this form..

Ent Dev Elective 2019 - 20: 

Student Start Up @ NITIE

SHOOT - SHOOT - SHOOT and ... then  THINK ! 
This works for Javani, not for Buzurg ! This is what young will do ! 
This is the way for YOUNG to  L E A R N  ! 
This is what we  believe ! 

Course Take aways.. 

- Walk out the course with your own enterprise, which is TINY, and CUTE , TESTED and  READY for SCALE UP  ! 

- Course contents are applied with an intention to LEARN  through EXPERIMENTATION, You are going to  practice the contents as part of your startup ! 

-  Developed a small band of young friends who had worked  with you on the startup and might become partners in your enterprise !

- With experience of launching and running an enterprise.. Minus, to Zero to One and More than One .. ! 

-  You built a SPECIAITY of yourself by differentiating amongst the other students in your batch !  

- You will achieve.. Many  in  One.. :  GRADE + (L)EARNING + Friendships + Future in your fist !

About the course: 

This course is  DOING. FEELING  and EXPERIMENTING  and BECOMING  is the essence of this course . 

.... Implementation is the essence. Not thinking ! Understood ! Not thinking !  and accumulation of knowledge about enterprise and enterprising.

 As a student one will implement and practice  ones own ideas, in ones own way and method !

ONLY thing that matter is ... and What does not matter is . 

How big ? How rewarding ? How systematic ? Sustainable ? How expertly done ? If I have done or not !

This course prefers DOERs !  Not watchers ! 

Do EARLY , .. Not LATE done
Do SMALL / TINY   Ned not  be BIG , huge, Scalable, 
Do slow and low than speedier
SLOW GROWTH ones.. need not be High Growth
Bits and pieces , and Short Value Chain ..Not Long  value chain
As many different things, varieties of aspect . rather than few only ..
