Shivanand Patil, KLECET College Testimonials of Prayana Alumni’s shared his feeling and said “LEAD Prayana changed my way of thinking as an entrepreneur. It’s not just about the money-ethical values, but humanity is also responsible for building an institution or company that is sustainable and will help generations to come. It should have a purpose”.
Anam Hudli, GIT College say that “LEAD Prayana was a 14-day trip after which I can actually find a change in myself. I now have a willingness to do something, an urge to speak up rather than sit back and watch others. You get to learn and experience so many things that lie beyond your imagination. I learned that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back, shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and face it”.
Krutika Thakkannavar said “Prayana has come into my life at such a point of time wherein I’ve just started to think and plan out what I want from life and how I can contribute to make the lives of people a little better. It’s given me 100 different ideas and let me make 100 new friends. Whatever I turn out to be-an entrepreneur, a leader, or a change maker, I’ll owe it to these 13 days of my life”.
