MedRabbits Healthcare
Mr Amol R. Deshmukh, Founder and CEO of MedRabbits
Entrepreneurship is a leap into the unknown, fueled by a desire to create, innovate, and impact the world and of course being financially independent. It's about taking bold steps, learning from every challenge, and persistently pushing the limits of what's possible. Starting with a small book library at the age of 12, I quickly realized the power of entrepreneurial thinking in creating value. Over the years, with each venture and challenge, I realised that the path of entrepreneurship is filled with challenges, but it is in these moments of uncertainty that resilience is forged. Every obstacle is an opportunity to identify gaps, adapt, grow, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
At MedRabbits Home Healthcare, our entrepreneurial spirit is the driving force behind our mission to revolutionize home healthcare. We believe in solving real-world problems and making a lasting impact by redefining healthcare delivery, empowering individuals with the resources they need to manage their health, and bridging the gaps in the medical landscape. We envision a world where cutting-edge technology and compassionate care come together to make quality medical services accessible to everyone, regardless of their location. Our journey is rooted in a commitment to continuous innovation, from providing seamless home healthcare solutions to addressing the evolving needs of our patients.
This World Entrepreneurs' Day, let’s remember that every entrepreneur’s journey is unique, shaped by their individual experiences, challenges, learnings and victories. Today, we recognize not just the success stories, but the courage it takes to start, the determination to keep going, and the impact these entrepreneurs have on our communities and the world. As an Entrepreneur, you never Win or Lose, you only Win or Learn.’’
Edupull
Mr Rohan Rai, Co-Founder, Edupull
Being an entrepreneur involves nurturing a mindset that empowers young people to generate opportunities and tackle significant challenges. My journey, shaped by the challenges of traditional education and societal expectations, has taught me the value of resilience and curiosity in the entrepreneurial path.
To those aspiring to make their mark, I offer this advice: embrace the journey, recognizing that every challenge and setback is a chance to grow. Embrace unconventional paths with confidence. With determination, innovation, and the right support, you can transform your aspirations into achievements.

Pantherun Technologies
Mr Srinivas Shekar, CEO and Co-Founder, Pantherun Technologies
In today’s world, entrepreneurs play a crucial role in setting up companies that solve problems that impact how people work and live. They create jobs and foster economic prosperity in society. The aim must always be to innovate and build something that betters lives. To those embarking on this path, remember that success comes from perseverance. It is not just about achieving financial success but also about a willingness to embrace new ideas and a steadfast commitment to your vision, no matter what challenges you face on this chosen path.
For me, being an entrepreneur has meant bringing together what I learnt right from school and college, as well as over 25 years of working in Industry, to build an Embedded Systems approach to solving pressing deep-tech problems of today. It is important that we use what we have learnt along the way, as these learning’s are critical to solving problems with greater creativity. At Pantherun, we went with such a mindset to build technology that would be best in class, products that would look and work better than the best in the Industry. Be it our key exchange free encryption to prevent cyber attacks, or the products that we built to help customers use our technology in applications, the aim was always to be creative, use our experiences intuitively to build something that is the first of its kind.
Above all else, I would like to emphasise to all entrepreneurs, that we are only as good as our team is, thus in Pantherun, we always look to bringing in people with the same commitment to innovation and the same drive to build the very best product, with attention to detail. To all aspiring entrepreneurs: embrace this journey, trust in your abilities, believe in your vision and view every challenge as an opportunity to drive progress.
SiMa.ai
Mr Krishna Rangasayee, CEO and Founder, SiMa.ai
Entrepreneurship is more than just starting a business—it’s a transformative journey defined by passion, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of innovation. Being an entrepreneur means embracing the highs and lows, facing uncertainty with courage, and having the determination to push through challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. For anyone with a smart idea and the drive to make it happen, I’d say this: dream big and don’t hold back. I had never done this before, and while moments of self-doubt and tough challenges were inevitable, there’s nothing more fulfilling than watching your vision take shape. The key to success lies in trusting fully—not just in yourself, but in the team, investors, customers, and partners who are on this journey with you.
At SiMa.ai, our dream of delivering the first software-centric MLSoC platform was not realized in isolation. It was made possible by building trust within our ecosystem—among our team, partners, investors, and customers. True entrepreneurship is about believing in yourself, trusting your network, and knowing that you’re never alone in the process. For those stepping into this journey, remember that fear and trust cannot coexist. Choose trust, lean on your community, and take that leap.

Mr. Dilip Modi, Founder & CEO of Spice Money
India’s position as the fourth-largest recipient of global tech startup funding is a testament to the remarkable entrepreneurial spirit that thrives in our nation. Entrepreneurship is not just about building businesses; it’s about solving real-world problems, creating jobs, and driving innovation. It is about resilience, vision, and the relentless pursuit of making a meaningful impact on society.
In my journey as an entrepreneur, I have encountered both immense challenges and unparalleled opportunities, especially in addressing the needs of those living in the most remote areas of our country. My journey with Spice Money has been profoundly enriching, teaching me invaluable lessons about the power of technology to create inclusive growth. At Spice Money, we are proud to have created employment for 14 lakh Adhikaris, who are key nanopreneurs driving financial inclusion across rural India. By equipping them with essential tools and resources, we empower these individuals to succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Our extensive network spans across 2.44 lakh villages and 6,475 blocks, covering 95% of India’s pin codes. This broad reach not only underscores our commitment to empowering local entrepreneurs but also reinforces our role in bridging the rural-urban divide and advancing financial inclusion throughout the country.
The government has been supportive in fostering this entrepreneurial ecosystem, with initiatives like the Startup India Initiative and the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme, which have created a nurturing environment for homegrown startups and innovators. These efforts have been instrumental in driving the next wave of growth and ensuring that the spirit of entrepreneurship continues to flourish across the country.
On this World Entrepreneurs Day, we celebrate the indomitable spirit of entrepreneurship that is driving India forward, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering innovation and digital inclusion for everyone.
Mr. Dilip Modi, Founder & CEO of Spice Money
World Entrepreneurs Day is more than just a celebration; it's a powerful reminder of the transformative potential within each entrepreneur. When we combine the entrepreneurial spirit with a commitment to social good, we create a force that can address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Today, we see an inspiring energy among startup founders, particularly young visionaries stepping forward with bold, purpose-driven ideas. This excitement is mirrored by early-stage investors, whose eagerness to support these ventures signals that Karnataka and Bengaluru are not just fostering a startup ecosystem for today but are laying the groundwork for the next century of innovation. If you have a great idea and the passion to pursue it, now is the time to take that leap. And if you're facing challenges in achieving profitability, view this as an opportunity to recalibrate, as the capital is here, ready to back innovative ideas and dedicated entrepreneurs. The future belongs to those willing to innovate, lead, and make a difference. On this day, at TiE, we reiterate our commitment to supporting all entrepreneurs in their journeys to make the world a better place.
