My experience with GDC as a mentor over 4 cohorts has been an insightful experience. The learning process for the young innovators is experiential and prepares the innovators/founders to embark the entrepreneurial journey with a right mindset. The GDC customer discovery process architecture is by far one of the best the ecosystem has to offer today. The program structure meets the highest levels of professionalism. This program qualifies to be a "must have "in the startup life cycle.

GDC has a well structured program. Participating as a mentor in the customer discovery journey of start-ups, has been a rewarding experience. I had the opportunity to learn from young entrepreneurs and share my knowledge, as they develop their problem-solution fit.

The Mentoring opportunity through GDC's I-NCUBATE program is one that I have relished. Being a very well structured Program based on the foundation of the The Lean Start Up, it brings together a set of brilliant minds of faculty members + young students from various Tech institutes in the country, a team of very experienced Faculty members from GDC and Mentors like us who add value in terms of practical hand-holding.

The primary objective of the program being to facilitate deep tech startup ideas to get to a stage where the teams can commercialize and monetize their passions, is an inspiring journey. As a mentor with GDC, I have had the privilege of interacting with bright minds, learnt a lot about different deep-tech ideas, got to appreciate the lean start up model and finally, contribute to the teams in my own small way. Consider myself privileged to be a mentor at GDC.

"It has been a great experience being a mentor for cohorts for both Incubate and Inspire programs held by GDC under the aegis of IIT-M. The program is a highly structured and well planned program which enables young and aspiring start up entrepreneurs to go through the customer discovery process and an exceptional tool to gauge the relevance and importance of their ideas and product in the marketplace.

As a mentor, it was wonderful to interact with some of the young budding talents and understanding and guiding them on their journey to be start up companies. It was a great learning experience for me as well from the young minds. The GDC program must be an essential part of all start up aspirants as they pivot to the best product which will meet the customer needs"

Mr.Ranganath

I have been a mentor for two cohorts in GDC. I find the platform very useful not just for the start-ups but also for me as a mentor.

We find that most start-ups are so technology focused that they tend to ignore looking at their business from a customer point of view and the value it creates for them.

This customer discovery process and value proposition discovery that the GDC focuses on, really helps start-ups decide on the path they should take to build sustainable businesses that can scale.

It has also helped me to structure and focus my thoughts on what the business means to its user and how we can have an outside-in view of a business.
