Description

The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In each course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana’s synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.

IoT Startups are a very exciting category that is seeing huge activity right now. It sits at the confluence of nanoscale hardware, ubiquitous wireless internet, big data, machine learning and AI. If you apply Internet of Things Concepts to workflows and use cases in oil and gas, transportation, manufacturing, real estate, energy management, and so on, you would find numerous business opportunities. IoT use cases are ripe for productization in numerous domains.

The case studies in this course take you into the heads of entrepreneurs building some of these solutions.

This course is aimed more as an ideation course than a step-by-step guide that covers all the methodology elements of startup building. To get those, you would need to study other 1Mby1M courses from our portfolio.

  • Any entrepreneur who wants to learn from successful entrepreneurs who have been in your shoes.
  • Professors teaching technology entrepreneurship courses anywhere in the world.
