Jayati Chandra

Jayati Chandra’s  journey started with watching TVF pitchers in the first semester of college. Greatly inspired by the idea of creating impact that could last generations, she started studying multiple books about different business functionalities. In 2018, she raised the first round of tide funding and then in 2019, they stood among the 25 top student startups under the POC competition held by MoE. After that, they raised seed funding from private investors. Unfortunately, covid affected us greatly and pushed me to look for masters degrees in the field of entrepreneurship. Now she is on way to study for a Masters in Innovation and Management with HEC Paris and TU Munich where she will be specializing in Entrepreneurship. Her program at HEC is general management whereas at Munich is completely startup focused. She is excited for the next phase!
