The 1 year journey at MIDAS was a Rollercoaster ride for me. I am extremely grateful to have been a part of the MIDAS family. The practical approach for training us to become entrepreneurs has been very helpful in the real world. Our wonderful coaches helped us develop a never-give-up attitude and face various challenges with complete determination. I miss the excitement and energy we all shared as passionate budding entrepreneurs pushing each other to do our very best. Not only have I learned some valuable lessons, but also have some beautiful memories that I will treasure lifelong
I have always been passionate about starting my own venture, which led me to MIDAS. I started my entrepreneurial journey with Being Live, a platform that spreads the beauty of live art and helps talented artists get the right reach and connect them directly with prospective employers and agencies. From my time at MIDAS, I realized that I have the capability to achieve more. This brought a new idea to life - @tathastulifestyle. It is a one-stop solution for all lifestyle needs, be it personal, professional, business, public relations, community, or social service. Thank you MIDAS family for supporting & helping me achieve my goals. With the right guidance from our amazing coaches, I understood my full potential and how to make the best out of it
Talking about his time at MIDAS, Vedant says,” From my childhood, I have seen my family running a business and that is why I always knew that I wanted to be an entrepreneur. After completing my training at TAFE, I decided to join MIDAS to learn more about entrepreneurship. I am so glad I made the decision to do so. Not only did MIDAS help me understand the very basics principles of entrepreneurship on which my business stands today, but it also gave me the insight I needed to expand my family business. In fact, Extovate Venture was seeded in my time at MIDAS. I would like to thank my coaches for encouraging me to be where I am today and urge all the budding entrepreneurs to join MIDAS.
My time at MIDAS has been the most memorable period of my life. My family business has always been a reason for pride for me and also taught me the importance of hard work. When it was time for me to join ‘Lensight’ I knew that I wanted to take it to greater heights. My coaches at MIDAS helped me do all of that and more. They were always available to give me the correct guidance and encouragement I needed.
Remembering his MIDAS days, Yash tells us,” I can’t thank MIDAS enough for making my dream come true. Aufla was ideated and launched at MIDAS. On days, when I was unsure, my coaches pushed me to take my idea to the finish line. Without the support and guidance I received at MIDAS, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have so far. I will always be grateful for those 1 year I spent at MIDAS.
At ‘Unikraft Packaging’ we are determined to do our bit for the environment. Currently, we convert 8000 tons of recycled paper into boxes every year. We try avoiding plastic in packaging as much as possible. For every 10 tons we convert, we plant one tree every month to ensure a sustainable environment. At MIDAS, I learned some very valuable lessons about making optimum use of resources available, physical and otherwise. Rather than teaching by the book, our coaches gave us practical knowledge and training which I have been able to apply successfully in my business venture and have done well. MIDAS is definitely a stepping stone in the journey to entrepreneurship.
