Kerala Dr Sam Thomas Student Startups
- Future of Higher Edn is related to Student Startups !
- Student Startups - Examples ! Dell computers. Bill gates, and Steve Jobs are not!
Gopinath, Lal 10, Vaave, Cashify, Cropwheel. The book by Rashmi Bansal carries several cases of students started their startups. Strictly speaking, these cases may not be considered Student Startups. Reason is, academic support is zero for these startups! Startups are not embedded as part of the acadmeic learning process. Rather these startups are parallel and outside of acadmic system.
- Startups by Students Vs. Non Students! Differences ! Purpose, Process, Inputs, Investments, Outputs, Metrics are all different.
- Startups by Students Vs. Non Students! Similarities ! Common is only
- Purpose of Student Startups are different !
Student startup purposes are not the same like a typical startup ! In reality, they are reverse!
Surpriisng ! Yes. It will be! Purposes can be tweeked, retweaked and create for specific purposes. Why not startups - the process and management of them is used to realise and achieve something differnet that is never imagined and tried ! Student startups are a new tool in the hands of HE academics to achieve the higher education goals effectively. So, Student startups are designed to be automatic outcome of HE learning process!
Student Startups lead to better and deep learning; They help to measure the learning, They are for monetizing the learning quick and fast!
- Student startups are Special Purpose Ventures SPV ! The Purpose of SS is Excellent Edn!
- Student Startups are created with limited life ! They are CREATED, USED and finally Disposed when the purpose is achieved. SELLING a startup by a student is ultimate thing to happen! What a wonderful thing ! Why to sell a startup ? Why not ? A student again and again can create more and one more, and many more startups ! Why to sell and why not to sell -is the biggest learning for a young student ?
-Avail startups for educating the students, use them and jettison after education.
- For achieving good placements and affordable edn
- Need not be solely entrp!

Startups make learning exciting to students for unique set of reasons.
Student startups need not for survival, continue into future and scale up and up!
..But for SEEDING enterprising among the student SOULS
- Success of Student startup is measured by different metrics! Failure is the real success in case of a student enteprise. Reason, student will have fantastic learning. In reality the purpose of student startup is nothing but learning. Growth and scaling up are incidental things in case of a student startup ! Reason is simple, growth and scale up are not the relevatn metrics in case of a young woman / man who is just getting into the world ! These things can come up and crop up in due, but need not be at this stage !
For a student, startup is some thing special. They are not second , third and Nth dots ! But FIRST and very first DOTs ! This means, every student, without exception, can start a startup! No student cant do a startup for the simple reason, because, these are First Dots !
- Student startups are mandatory learning method ! Specialty, is that earning is chosen and embeded as part of curricular learning for achieving effective learning.
- Student Startup will be directly related to what a student is studying and trying to learn! If a student is studying biology startup will be related to biology; if chemistry is pursued then the startup must relate to chemistry. Some say, there cant be chemistry related startup by a chemistry student startup. This is meaningless ! How come a chemistry student start something related to phenol cant be a chemistry related startup !
Why so ? Reverse question is, why not ? If a student is studying geology what is wrong for the student to develop a startup in the related area ! A music student, law student, sports student, maths student necessarily launch startups directly related to their subject areas !
Typical Student Startup is.... informal, irregular, micro, tiny, lean , simple, unorganised, unsystmatic,
1. Startup.....Enterpreneurs Vs. Students
Usual principles are.. Innovation, Scale up, Technology Value,
Not related to studies, Inherently related to studies
Purpose is ..Enterpreneurship vs Education
2. Pain Point - Customer Vs Student !
☐ Quick, Sell; Default time, talent, effort spent by the students for academic learning is innovatively used in creating a startup !
3. A student being a student ones time, talent, effort, thinking, traveling, talking, searching and researching and all that hard work done for the purpose of curricular learning is being used simultaneously for the emergence of a startup ! What is wrong to use the working innovatively in a way that both the things are achieved ? This is the question Gen Z teaching faculty need to ask for themselves? Learning is a Startup ! Why the academic labour need be wasted! Why not it be used innovativley which will also in return enhance the learning itself ! In reality, the academic labour and the startup both mutually help each other.
4. Instructor given informaiton is implemented by the student in a way generating Income instantaneously !
5. Student Startup - Types .. One hour, One day, One week, One month, One course , One quarter / module, Summer / Winter / Final Enterprise project etc.
5. Student starutps does not warant elaborate incubation but caring academic support .grace marks, attendance waiver, using assignments , using academic breaks , zero risk taking, break semester, opportunity grabbing , 4 affectuation principles, placement focused, alumni support, fellow classmates as beta poll, competitions conferences, faculty and industry mentors...EDUBATION
6. Student Startups are commanding enarmous Govt support !
Compute the learning. Student useful .
7. Behadh Shiksha ...Na Hadh ! Aseemith Learning, Earning Relearning ..
