IÉSEG student Sharan Sai
IÉSEG student Sharan Sai, who comes from India, has recently been announced as one of the three winners of the “Pitch Your Start Up” contest* organized by the Embassy of India in Paris in association with the Project X Group.
Each contestant had around 10 minutes to pitch in front of a jury of professionals in Paris. Following two selection rounds, Sharan was rewarded for his entrepreneurial project “Nourritage”, a start up which is aiming to provide authentic, affordable food.
“Getting authentic food for an affordable price is very difficult in Europe. I thought of bridging this gap between people who can cook authentic food and people who want to buy great food at an affordable price,” explains Sharan, a student in the Grand Ecole Master Cycle at IÉSEG, who has finished his Bachelor’s in international business administration at Christ College in Bangalore, India.
Thanks to Project X and the Indian Embassy in Paris, Sharan now has the possibility to ‘incubate’ his entrepreneurial project under a sponsored mentorship program for three months, culminating in a ‘Demo Day’ before investors. He will also have dedicated access to a co-working infrastructure, master class sessions, tailored coaching and more…
*The contest has been designed to assist & accompany individuals from the Indian diaspora, to establish their entrepreneurial ventures in Europe.
