My journey at climate collective has been interesting as I believe I have undergone various phases of self-grooming as part of the certificate course. Through the course, I became familiar with the ongoing changes in the world of energy and became acquainted with many real-world factors and facets of Entrepreneurship. I learned the basics of what to do and what not to do for being a successful entrepreneur. This course has changed my vision toward the available career options. This course has encouraged me to explore the world of climate tech products and technology. I would now be really happy to build my career as an environmentalist and contribute towards ensuring the longevity of survival on our planet.

Climate Certificate was a good learning experience with each phase bringing in something different. The activities were engaging and equipped us with the tools to understand the basics. Working in a small driven group with women from diverse backgrounds was extremely motivating. Also, special thanks to Lakshmi mam for her guidance throughout the course and Jui Joshi was being an excellent support. I am also thankful that I got one team partner from the cohort.

My journey with the program was rich and rewarding. I come from a technical background with two years of work experience in the software domain and no prior experience in the clean energy space. In the first phase, I learned a lot about the domain, market gaps, and opportunities in the space through weekly live webinars. The best part of the journey was Startup Simulation with Renkube, wherein our team worked closely with Lakshmi Mam.

My understanding of entrepreneurship and confidence to take up entrepreneurship in energy domain has improved since the commencement of program.  Undergoing market research and going through startup simulation has given me a boost. The collaborative exercises were the most effective in the program structure and my domain knowledge has remarkably improved.
