Lightspeed India is bringing back the second edition of the exciting startup training series, Extreme Entrepreneurs (EE2019).

Highlights:
Turning Outsiders into Insiders
Open for entries till 15th August
Masterclasses by the who’s who of the global start-up industry and 1:1 mentorship by a Lightspeed Partner for 8 startups
Extreme Entrepreneurs has a three-session format and will be live every Tuesday, September 3rd till October 8th in Delhi. Testy Tuesdays start the morning with a startup-access only masterclass with a business luminary sharing candid learnings. Through the afternoon, the selected startups will have their business and points of view tested by a Lightspeed Partner. The evening cocktails will help shortlisted entrepreneurs become insiders to the broader startup, investor and media ecosystem.
Vaibhav Agrawal, Partner at Lightspeed India Partners said “Exposure is like dynamite for the curious mind. For a founder, it can shape ambitions, open minds to possibility and ignite new ideas in unimaginable ways.” On the mission behind EE2019, he added “All Lightspeed Partners were founders or operators before. Many of us started our journeys as outsiders – heck I was just a doctor trying to fix broken bodies before starting my first business! – and many people helped open doors, showed us the right way, inspired us to dream bigger. EE is our way of paying it forward.”
This year EE2019 will be bigger and better. Leaders like Max Levchin (Co-founder, PayPal and Founder, Affirm), Sriharsha Majety (Co-founder, Swiggy), Vaibhav Gupta (Co-founder, Udaan), Ritesh Agarwal (Founder, Oyo Rooms), Dheeraj Pandey (Co-founder, Nutanix), Ankush Sachdeva (Co-founder, Sharechat) and Merci Victoria Grace (Growth and Product, Slack) have joined the EE mission and will share first-hand experiences of building impact startups from the ground up. Further, luminary investors like Jeremy Liew (seed investor, Snapchat and Partner, Lightspeed) will share lessons from shaping highly successful global companies. 2018’s lineup also saw John Thompson (Chairman, Microsoft), Alex Chung (Founder, Giphy), as well as Anu Hariharan (Partner, Y Combinator), speak.
Call for entries from founders based anywhere in India are live at ee.lsvp.com until Aug 15th. Extreme Entrepreneurs 2019 tweets as @lightspeedee and Instagrams as lightspeedee. Contestants and community are also directed to its LinkedIn.com profile Lightspeed Extreme Entrepreneurs to know more about the series.
"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928. Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...
" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict. Sanjay Kumar Mishra's successive extensions got brought to the Court's attention through petitions moved by opposition leaders like Randeep Singh Surjewala, Jaya Thakur, Mahua Moitra, and others. The Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice B. R. Gavai held that Mishra could hold on to his office up to July 31st at most, during which the Modi Government must ensure a “smooth transition in the larger public interest." The previous judgments by the Supreme Court on the matter Back in 2021, the Modi Government had, via the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, made amendments to the necessary laws to safeguard the extension of the tenure...
