We are among very few truly entrepreneurial ecosystems for entrepreneurship development and startups support in the form of being financially viable in generating our own fuel and preaching lessons of entrepreneurship to others based on our own experience, challenges & learnings at Lemon. Over the years we had all good, bad, ugly experiences and experimentation outcomes which have given shape to a much evolved, transformed & matured form of organization. Whether it is launching a non-conventional education academy or creating a platform for challenges, contests or building frameworks, pedagogies of learning models or spinning off a focused accelerator, Efforts at LEMON have challenged the status quo, push the agenda of innovation and do what is said. It has certainly been a journey of reflections and purpose towards a better & sustainable world. Nurturing Job creators (entrepreneurs) also propel the vision of making India a Self-reliant country and we are glad to be part of it.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6328″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http://lemonideas.in/”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Lemon Ideas is on a mission “Innovation by Everyone” and is striving towards empowering talented individuals to convert their ideas into Reality (Business Ventures).

And that is how the Lemon School of Entrepreneurship happened in 2015. It followed an unconventional design model and was driven by our beliefs of ideal learning and training. We staunchly believed that the ultimate learning is a product of self- realization, self -reflection and insight development. Lemon School of Entrepreneurship (LSE) is a unique new age Gurukul with a vision to support, mentor and train budding as well as early stage entrepreneurs. The pedagogy is learning by doing, learning through reflections and real life experimentation. LSE is neither affiliated to any University / Governing Body nor provides any recognized degree or diploma. We believe that creation of a work portfolio through experiential learning and pre-incubation training is vital for entrepreneurship. We offer entrepreneurship training programs and business training workshops. We also work with colleges and universities to build a robust ‘Innovation & Entrepreneurship’ ecosystem (includes pre-Incubation consulting & experiential workshops).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”6332″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://www.innopreneurs.in/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]“Be the change you want to see in others”- The quote stands true to its word in today’s millennial era where we as a nation find it difficult in taking the disruptive ideas or concepts to a colossal extent. To bridge this gap, the need of this hour is to promote and support the start-ups for collaboratively rectifying the issues which hinder them from becoming a giant. Immediate need is to hunt for core problems and the right solutions for better tomorrow. Bright minds in huge numbers have approached and worked with Lemon to get the right guidance for their ventures. In the first year where we were experimenting, one of the first platforms that we created was Innopreneurs to encourage innovations and showcase ideas. It gradually became a start-up competition and is today a very strong platform that we have for entrepreneurs, innovators and change-makers to showcase their start-up venture or their idea. INNOPRENEURS is a yearly startup contest hosted by Lemon Ideas since 2014. It is much more than a conventional B-plan contest. It is a national level platform that encourages individuals/ students/ professionals to bring ideas, innovations to the platter for others to devour and earn mentoring, funding and network support. Since 2014, Innopreneurs has become a prominent platform for entrepreneurs with over 1000+ registrations received yearly now. If google startup contest in India, you are most likely to see Innopreneurs in top few search results.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4745″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Lemon Gurukul is a social initiative by Lemon where we provide mentoring to budding Entrepreneurs on complimentary basis.
