Get Set Learn, an e-learning platform, has launched a series of eight founder-led Entrepreneurship Startup Masterclasses for schools and students.

Free of cost education
Created with the mission to provide budding innovators from grades 7-12 with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to thrive in the ever-changing world of entrepreneurship, these masterclasses will be held from Dec 2023 to July 2024 and will be completely free of cost.
Get Set Learn has roped in top founders in India to inspire students and take them on an entrepreneurial journey where they get a unique opportunity to solve a founder’s problem statement.
Talking about the masterclass initiative, Ameet Zaverii, Co-founder & CEO of Get Set Learn, emphasized that teaching traditional hard skills is as important as life skills that inspire innovation and creativity. The masterclass initiative is in line with the Ministry of Education’s School Innovation Council programme, which aims at fostering a culture of innovation, ideation, creativity, design thinking, and entrepreneurship in schools.
"The idea is to inculcate problem-solving skills in students through founder-led entrepreneurship masterclasses and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs," he added.
Priyavrata Mafatlal, co-founder of Get Set Learn and vice-chairman of Arvind Mafatlal Group, said, “These masterclasses will encourage students to work on new ideas and innovation to create startups and entrepreneurial ventures in the future. We need to open the doors to give our young students insights into the complexities of business and give them a comprehensive grasp of both successes and failures directly from the founders themselves.”
