Hello! Thank you so much for this opportunity, I know for sure that this is the platform I’d look back to for lighting the young entrepreneur in me. Even though we didn’t win, we are not disappointed and want to work on our idea further, so kudos to you.

Hello Navya, you are truly an inspiration to all of us.At such a young age,being a founder of 2 organizations is such a big thing! I didn’t interact much with you but witnessed every potential of yours to bring each one of us do something out of the box. Though our team didn’t win,I am carrying great mentorship, experience, motivation and great friendship. Being an introvert I never thought that I would have the power of presenting myself in front of so many people.Thank you for organizing this event, you are really a young founder. I love YFS

Hi Navya! This was one of the most life changing experiences I have ever had. All the 52 hours were worth it as we learned each day. One on One mentorship with mentors or even with you literally opened my mind and I can’t even wait to explore and learn more about it! Loved it! Thank you!

This was definitely one of the most wholesome and exciting experiences I’ve ever had, I’ve taken a lot from these 3 days. It was a room full of amazing people and unique minds, and I really did have fun and learned tons of new things. I think I have grown intellectually within these three days. Honestly, you and your team did a great job in executing this event, it was really a thrilling experience. The excitement, knowledge, ideas, it was truly an exhilarating experience.Thank you so much for the memories and the knowledge.

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for giving me the platform to present my ideas and even work on them as a business. Although I didn't get to work on my idea, the real life experience of becoming an entrepreneur is just amazing. Also, I loved the ice breakers especially the heart game wherein you were taking everyone’s hearts but we took yours.All I want to say is it was really fun. Thank you!

Hey Navya, YFS experience has been wonderful for me it was beyond what I had expected, I don’t think I’ll ever have an experience as good as YFS. I wish I could participate again, too good, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this confident. Thank you for giving us a platform and opportunity.
