TheRodinhoods DELHI Open House (March 22, 2014) Agenda!!

By asha chaudhry on 64 Comments / 4647 views

After November’s mega Open House we’re back… reloaded and refueled with new ways to ensure you take back an awesome learning experience! That’s right – we have planned a crazy three hours of unique startup action for you. (Ask the Mumbaikars – they’ll tell you what happened on Saturday, March 8!!)

[This is us at IIT Delhi in Nov 2013]

 

The Delhi Open House is on March 22, 2014. Pls check out venue details and RSVP HERE.

Now since time is not really on our side – this is the tentative agenda. We might move around a few things depending on your response! PLS SEND YOUR PPTS ASAP for an opportunity to make a presentation this time!

 

The Plan:

2:00 – 2:15 pm: Welcome

2:15 – 2:35pm: Startup Launch

2:35 – 3:05pm: Alok’s presentation

3:05 – 4:05pm: Rodinhooders’ presentations: What is your greatest Entrepreneurial Challenge??

4:05 – 5pm CAS: Interactive Session with audience: Create a Startup! 

5:00 – 5:30pm: Group Photo, Networking & AOY! 

Open House Proposed Agenda:

2:00 – 2:15 pm

Welcome address by Alok (Founder) and presentation of Agenda by our anchor Rodinhooder Sriharsha (he’s the dude who discovered Rajesh Autowala!) 

 

2:15 – 2:35pm

LAUNCH at TheRodinhoods!

Have you launched a new product? A new app? A new venture? Have you just started up? And haven’t had the opportunity to tell the whole world?! 

Then this spot is earmarked for you! Nothing makes us happier than launching a Rodinhooder at every Open House across all cities. Write to asha@rodinhood.com with your details.

2:35 – 3:05pm (20min + 10min Q & A)

Alok on The Gamification of Everything!

If you’ve watched Alok making a presentation – you know it will be full of surprises. If you haven’t, be sure to buckle up!

 

3:05 – 4:05pm

What is your greatest Entrepreneurial Challenge??

[image source: seawayblog.blogspot.com]

Entrepreneurship not as easy and fun as you thought it would be?

Being your own boss sucks??

Can’t afford a rockstar web designer for your e-com venture?

Can’t find a co-founder or a tech partner who shares your vision?

Your online venture is stuck ‘coz you are struggling to find an agreeable payment gateway?

Have exhausted all of your funds??? And no VC is game?!

Starting up not so sexy, huh??!!

If so, tell us your pain points, your roadblocks your GREATEST CHALLENGE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR that you face and collectively we will try and help you overcome it!

In this session, FOUR Rodinhooders will be given the opportunity to share their greatest Entrepreneurial Challenge. For a chance to present your case, send your story by downloading and filling-in THIS PPT FORMAT to asha@rodinhood.com LATEST BY 18TH MARCH, 2014. The final 4 presenters will be shortlisted by the editorial team (comprising Alok and me). Pls stick to the PPT format! 

Each presenter will get max 15 mins (5 mins to present + 10 mins of untangling & brainstorming to break down the challenges with Alok and the audience). Yes! You will be timed!  

4:05 – 5pm CAS – Create a Startup!

UPDATE MARCH 18, 2014: 

Since making people laugh is a SERIOUS BUSINESS, we shall create a COMEDY COMPANY for rodinhooder Sumit Anand to take ahead! Sumit is a stand up comedian on the weekends – has been getting individual gigs now for the last couple of years and intends to start a comedy company in the near future. LET’S HELP HIM BUILD ONE!!!

Ever built a startup from scratch, on-the-spot and live amidst an audience? We just did in Mumbai and had the most awesome time! Everyone from the audience will bounce ideas to Alok our moderator to build a LIVE PPT involving the FIVE W’s right there on stage!! This is a unique session conceived by Alok and promises to be EXHILARATING!!! [again, ask the Mumbaikars!]

Are you an early stage entrepreneur or an aspiring one? Do you have a biz idea you’d like to flesh out? Have you been toying with an idea but don’t know if it’s worth pursuing? Would you like Alok and other Rodinhooders build on your idea and help you take it forward? 

We invite all of you to tell us what kind of a startup you’d like to see being built live (in the comments below). Or write to me for a chance to be featured in the CAS session! It could be just an idea or an actual startup-in-the-making so that we have an entrepreneur taking ownership of this unparalleled learning exercise.

5:00 – 5:30pm

The Customary Group Photo, Networking & AOY! 

Mingle, mingle, mingle! Click, click, click!!

Distribution of 75 free copies of the Autobiography of Yogi by Alok. This is a world record attempt!

 

*****

 

DON’T FORGET TO RSVP HERE!!!

Pls carry any photo ID for security purposes at the ISEED entrance.

If you are a tee winner – PLS WEAR YOUR RODINHOOD TEE!!

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!

Many thanks to the Delhi organising team! If you’d like to volunteer and be a part of the Organising Team comment below and mention what you would like to do.

Agile mic runners (2), photographers, anchors, content curators, PPT specialists, social media enthusiasts, event reporters…. and WHATEVER YOU DEEM! We are very open to ideas – we just need YOU!! 

Please note: Every city team is flexible and responsibilities can/should rotate amongst different Rodinhooders for every event! For example, last time Abhik anchored the Delhi OH, this time Sriharsha will. But if a girl co-anchor volunteers, we would love for the two of you to host the entire event! Tarun is our in-house photographer, but it would really really be nice if someone else could also volunteer to capture the awesomeness! 

So holler. And remember, innovative suggestions are welcome!
