How NON-PROFITS can make SYSTEMIC CHANGE? | Startup Bootcamp EP-7 | Ft. Shubham, Hanisha, Tarun
Youtube Description: Ever heard of looking at problems from a macroscopic level, finding possible intervention areas and solving for one such that other problems also get impacted? That's systems change in a nutshell - understanding the interconnectedness of issues and finding key intervention points for maximum impact. The video highlights Tarun’s and Hanisha’s journey in building successful social impact organisations and also sheds light on common pitfalls for early-stage founders: Falling in love with the solution, not the problem: Passion is great, but make sure you're solving a real need! Scaling vs. Deep Impact: A tough choice - reach many with a broader solution or create a profound impact for a smaller group? Shubham Bansal: Co-founder of Change Engine and currently leading the Impact vertical. He also co-founded Leap Club ( a Y Combinator backed startup) - startup focused on bringing fresh groceries from farm to your doorstep. Tarun Cherukuri A Harvard Alum, is a social entrepreneur with a decade-plus of impact. After nearly five years with Teach For India, Tarun co-founded Indus Action with a mission to bridge policy gaps and empower communities. Hanisha Vaswani Managing Partner and Founder of Majority, Hanisha managed 25% of the accelerator portfolio at United Nations World Food Programme and was part of the 2020 Nobel Peace prize winning team About Change Engine: Change Engine is India's first accelerator for idea stage startups. Change Engine strives to think about and solve the big problems of today by focusing on fundamental or first-principle thinking. First principle thinking is all about thinking from the fundamentals- getting deep and understanding things at its purest, atomic level- and then building grounds up. At Change Engine, we follow a similar approach of looking at any problem, not through any lens or bias but objectively at its true cause, and then working through it by coming up with fundamental and novel concepts. ACE Program: Change Engine runs a 6 month inhouse accelerator program for early stage founders - taking them from Idea validation to building the MVP to finding the first customer and eventually to fundraise.
