DIMR had the privilege of hosting an insightful session by Ms. Aditi Pais, Co-Founder of Briota Technologies, under the Startup Talk Series organized in association with CIIE, SPPU.
Ms. Pais shared her entrepreneurial journey and powerful life lessons with students, emphasizing the mindset required to build and sustain a startup.
👉 “Before convincing investors, customers, or the market — convince yourself first.”
Entrepreneurship begins with inner clarity and self-belief. Without strong conviction about your idea, vision, and purpose, sustaining a venture becomes challenging.
🎯 Key Takeaways from the Session:
✅ Start with Experience: Gain industry exposure first — employment builds perspective and confidence before becoming a founder.
✅ Convince Yourself First: Self-conviction is the foundation of entrepreneurial success.
✅ Discipline is Non-Negotiable: Startups demand consistency, structure, and long-term commitment.
✅ Balance of IQ, EQ & SQ:
• IQ (Intelligence Quotient) – Technical and analytical capability
• EQ (Emotional Quotient) – Emotional management and leadership skills
• SQ (Spiritual Quotient) – Clarity of purpose, values, resilience, and ethical decision-making
True leadership lies in balancing all three.
✅ Inclusive Leadership: A balanced male and female mindset strengthens innovation, empathy, and strategic decision-making.
The session inspired students to move from hesitation to conviction — from asking “Can I?” to confidently declaring “I Can.”
At DIMR, in collaboration with CIIE, SPPU, we continue to nurture not just entrepreneurs, but purpose-driven leaders ready to create meaningful impact.
