Innovation in navodyami program
is really a process innovation. The success lies in delivering the training
program. Following is a quote from a navodyami candidate who shared her story
of establishing a new business and turn it into a a lakh rupees a month
turnover.
Mrs.
Lalita Kantaraju treasures mentoring she received through Navodyami. She talked
about her journey of revamping her internet cafe and computer training center.
“I had worked in BPOs for 8
years and I was confident to start my own Internet surfing and computer
training center. Navodyami provided me with the seed capital and linked me to
the bank also… But my earnings were not even sufficient to pay EMIs on time.
Navodyami arranged for special mentoring sessions for me and linked me to
successful entrepreneurs from whom I received mentoring which proved to be
extremely useful. Prasanna [Dixit, Director, Mahaveer Infoway Ltd, Hubli] sir
advised me to get E Governance projects and service affiliations. He also gave
me reference and initially I got a local contract for filling educational
scholarships. As per his guidance me and my husband visited schools and
collected scholarship applications. We did the online filing and this idea
really clicked. We got further contracts from other departments like printing
of ration card and election identity card. This also helped us improve footfall
in to our café and our turn over went up by more than four times. Navodyami
team was with us in every step of our progress.”
