Discussion of the week:-
On interacting with the mentors, it can be deduced that before starting any startup one needs to first validate the idea by interacting with the consumers and then find out what value can the product can provide to them. Also one should keep in mind that building a startup is a marathon, not a sprint. One needs to have a conviction in the idea and vision to keep going. Start selling the idea before building it!!
