In this age of Internet and technology, people are now more confident to try and sell their ideas and hit the road to success. This is exactly what 10-year old wonder girl from Bangalore Raahithi Tripuraneni has proved everyone that age doesn't equal success. Raahithi joins the elite list of budding entrepreneurs from India who has been selected as a semi-finalist in IIT Bombay for their International Business Plan competition Eureka Junior. She submitted a business idea and that got shortlisted and she has been invited by IIT Bombay for the same. Speaking about her business idea which got shortlisted Raahithi says, ''My idea was to build an intelligent layer on popular video making platforms like YouTube to categorize videos being made. We have seen people connecting for what they say. This way people can connect based on what they watch and consume because a person’s watch list can say a lot about an individual."
The Entrepreneurship Summit is the flagship event of E-Cell which is a platform for bringing together budding entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, start-ups and other major contributors to the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The summit also showcases the latest global trends in entrepreneurship. E-Summit in the past has been a host to personalities like Travis Kalanick, Indra Nooyi, and Arundhati Bhattacharya.
This 10-year old from Bangalore is a blogger too, who reviews books and has gained many followers for the unique concept of her page. She hosts weekly book review sessions on her channel. From 'Panchatantra' to the 'Diary of Anne Frank', Raahithi picks her favourite book every week and shares how these books have touched her life. Many people encourage her to continue doing the good work. When quizzed on what next after the Eureka Junior program Raahithi said, “For now I am just excited that me and my friend are going to IIT Bombay for a special work shop that will teach us new concepts in entrepreneurship and I will be continuing to review books, there is also an idea that me and my dad are working on but for now it's just an idea."
