Why Running a Business Won't get in the way of Your Child’s Studies (But Might Just Help Them Thrive!)

We get it. As a parent, your child’s education is your top priority—and it should be! So when you hear about extracurricular programs like the Young Founder Summit (YFS), your first thought might be: “This sounds great… but will it distract them from their studies?”

Let us put your mind at ease: YFS doesn’t come in the way of academics—it complements them. In fact, it might just give your child the edge they need in the classroom and beyond.

1. YFS is Designed Around Students’ Schedules

We know our participants are busy students first. That’s why YFS is intentionally structured to be flexible and manageable, with sessions and tasks that fit easily around schoolwork. It’s not about cramming more into their calendar—it’s about making every minute count. And here’s the best part? It’s only 3 days long. Yes—just three impactful days that can change how your child thinks, learns, and grows.

2. It Adds Real Value to College Applications

Colleges today look beyond marksheets—they want initiative, innovation, and leadership. Participation in YFS gives your child a standout experience that demonstrates maturity, vision, and real-world thinking.Whether they’re applying to universities in India or abroad, having “Founder, Young Founder Summit” on their profile shows they’re proactive, committed, and capable of independent thought. Bonus? They even get a certificate, media highlights, and a super cool "Founder Kit" to show for it!

3. Real-World Learning that Boosts Academic Performance

Think of YFS as the perfect sidekick to school. While school teaches theory, YFS brings it to life. Whether it's public speaking, creative writing, teamwork, or problem-solving, the skills your child builds here help them excel in class presentations, debates, group projects, and more.

4. Whether Your Child Takes Arts or Medicine—YFS Still Matters

Your child doesn’t have to want to become an entrepreneur or businessperson for YFS to be valuable. Whether they’re dreaming of being a doctor, designer, artist, researcher, or author, YFS teaches them how to communicate better, think creatively, lead with confidence, and bring their ideas to life. No matter the field, these are future-ready skills.

5. It Helps Students Find Direction

Let’s be honest—many students go through school unsure of what they want to do next. YFS introduces them to entrepreneurship, leadership, and creative thinking, helping them discover their passions early. This clarity often leads to better focus in school, because they know why they’re studying in the first place.

6. Students Feel Seen, Heard & Empowered

In a system that often focuses on scores, YFS is a space where students are encouraged to express themselves, explore ideas, and take ownership of their growth. That kind of confidence often spills over into academics too—because a child who believes in themselves, performs better everywhere.

So, Parents "You’re Not Losing a Student -You’re Gaining a Young Leader in the Making"

Joining YFS isn’t about choosing between academics and ambition. It’s about letting them walk into a future where both go hand in hand.
