ENTRECON GLOBAL FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
Dear Entrepreneurs, Innovators, and Visionaries,
I have been privileged to share insights in over 500 speaking sessions, judged internationally renowned business plan competitions, and am currently mentoring 64 companies, out of which 9 have already crossed the unicorn threshold. Through these experiences, I observed gaps in the market that hinder entrepreneurs' success – delayed access to crucial resources, lack of mentorship, and limited networking opportunities.
Entrecon Global was born out of the idea to fill these gaps and assist entrepreneurs in reaching their highest potential.
Entrepreneurs hold the power to change the world through their innovations, ideas, and execution. They deserve a steadfast guardian, a support system that nurtures their dreams and safeguards their journey.
I want to wholeheartedly invite you to Entrecon Global, where ideas converge and partnerships thrive. Our journey began with a simple yet profound vision - to create a platform that transcends borders and industries, uniting minds driven by innovation.
With Gratitude,
Shiju Babu,
Founder & CEO,
EntreCon Global
