2024 - YFS Chandigarh (9).jpg

Hello ma'am! Manushri here (Founder of Cancercop) absolutely loved meeting you, and my experience at YFS was even better than I could have imagined. As a humanities student, I never thought I’d grow so much in a business competition! The rate of personal development I’ve experienced is something I didn’t expect, and I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for organizing YFS. I’m excited to see how this shapes my future. I hope to meet you again soon and continue learning from these opportunities.

Thank you so much ma’am for giving us the best, most memorable experience I’ve ever had in my life. I am so grateful for this opportunity. Without YFS, I would still be the same guy I was before, with no direction or mindset towards business ideas. The summit has really opened my eyes, and I now feel more confident in pursuing my entrepreneurial dreams. TYSM, ma’am, for everything you’ve done, and I know we’ll miss you and YFS so much! This was truly a life-changing experience.

This was one of the most wholesome and exciting experiences I’ve ever had. Over the course of three days, I was surrounded by amazing people and brilliant minds. I had so much fun while learning new things, and I truly believe I grew intellectually. You and your team did an incredible job executing this event. The energy, knowledge, and ideas shared were exhilarating! It was a thrilling experience from start to finish. Thank you for the wonderful memories and for the knowledge I gained, which I will carry with me.

Thank you for giving me a platform to present my ideas and even work on them as a business. Though I didn’t get to fully execute my idea, the real-life entrepreneurial experience was incredible. I also loved the ice-breaker activities, especially the heart game—where you took everyone’s hearts, but we took yours too! It was so much fun and truly unforgettable. YFS was an amazing experience that helped me grow as an individual, and I’m really thankful for everything. I’m excited to use what I’ve learned in the future.

Very good initiative. The knowledge students gain from this summit is lifelong and isn’t something they typically get from school academics. Programs like YFS provide invaluable experiences that help shape a student’s entrepreneurial spirit. I believe these types of programs should be organized more frequently, even twice a year, to ensure students continue to receive these unique opportunities. The practical exposure and hands-on learning offered here are truly remarkable and will benefit students far beyond their school years.

My daughter, Gur Reet Kaur, had a wonderful experience at your workshop. I was pleasantly surprised by how effortlessly she grasped the concepts of startups and entrepreneurship. The hands-on activities not only captured her interest but also significantly boosted her confidence. She’s now eager to apply the knowledge she gained in real-life scenarios, which is something I hadn’t anticipated. Thank you for creating such an engaging, fun, and educational environment. This experience has left a lasting impression on her, and I’m sure it will influence her future endeavors.
