A TOKEN OF ADVICE FOR POTENTIAL ENTREPRENEURS
WaroftheWits CEO: “Aspiring entrepreneurs, we are coming out of COVID menace and the business are bouncing back to normalcy so it’s a great time to start or expand your venture. However, do not commence anything in haste – do a detailed market research & feasibility study, competitor analysis etc. before you dive in.
Our foundation team researched for more than 1.5 years, visited several countries, studied education systems of a dozen of countries, and carried out alpha & beta tests on 500+ students before formally rolling out our platform. Still, we faced a lot of hurdles, setbacks & learnt hard lessons in the due course – so prepare wisely before you make your next move and then stay invested, as sooner or later things certainly do turn around!”
