Rakesh, on behalf of the Youth Time International Movement, we are delighted to welcome you to share your expert knowledge and advice with participants at our Youth Global Forum in France next month. Would you share with us a short introduction?
Thank you Youth Time International Movement for providing me with the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience on a global platform.
At the Youth Global Forum, I will be sharing my thoughts as a young entrepreneur with innovative ideas on how to build a company that converts waste into energy.
Why are you interested in the Youth Global Forum 2018 and what about it excites you most?
I am interested mostly in the entrepreneurship aspect and having the opportunity to meet with like-minded individuals with who I can share my knowledge and experiences with.
Further, as a previous project presenter, I am excited to see some of the new ideas that will be presented by budding social and environmental entrepreneurs.
As an investor myself, it will be interesting to see if there are any projects that I could collaborate with.
Without giving too much away, would you share with us a little about what your workshop on “Impact Investment in Renewable Energy” is going to cover? Will there be any particular area of focus?
The main points of discussion will be the new technologies being developed and implemented to support renewable energy such as solar, wind and micro-grid.
Which lessons can participants expect to take from attending your workshop and how will they help with their future endeavors?
Participants will learn how to covert a renewable energy based idea into a business model. The workshop will focus on the Key Model: Right Time, Right Knowledge, and Right Product & Right Expansion of Business.
Those who will attend the workshop can also expect to learn how the renewable energy industry will help to increase business and employment opportunities.
As a previous project presenter at the Youth Global Forum and winner of Youth Time’s Idea Grant, would you please share with us your thoughts on the competition and how it has helped shape the person that you are today?
The grant received from Youth Time played a key role in the foundations of our company. It helped support and motivate us into building a pioneering small enterprise which has steadily developed into a global player in the production of solar and wind turbines.
Are there any additional topics or elements you wish to bring to our attention or add?
In line with one of the core components of the Youth Global Forum 2018, I feel that I have a lot to share with young leaders who aspire to build their own social and environmental impact projects based on my own experience with Youth.
Having begun my entrepreneurship journey with Youth Time, I have managed to build a multi-million dollar company and I’d be glad to give advice to anyone at the forum who is interested in achieving similar success.
