12. Our Offerings - Emerge
• Emerge – Shredding Your Start Up
• The biggest hurdle for a startup to take itself to the next phase of growth is the very
fact that it is a startup!
• It is a common issue for many new businesses that they just cannot come out of that
image and mindset of being a startup. If you are a startup that has been running for six
months to one year, it is high time now that you should stop calling yourself a startup
and shred that start up mindset
• It is now time for you think about taking your business to its next levels. When we start
up we tend to accept, with gratitude, all assignments that come our way. But reaching
the next levels calls for reviewing and renewing your goals and your work style so far
and adopt a more focused approach towards running your business.
• MindSphere assists you in shredding your startup; through analyses, processes and
practices

23. What our Mentees Say About Us
“Sanjay has proved to be an excellent mentor, honing our business mindset and skills.
Under his guidance, we have been able to successfully transform Robots Alive and shed our
unorganized startup mindset. We have evolved into a more structured and well organized
establishment, all geared up to become a successful enterprise. Sanjay has always been
very vocal, outright and honest about everything due to which we were quick to realize our
drawbacks and act upon it immediately. We are confident to go places with him on board as
Chief Mentor” – Abheek Bose – Chief Executive Officer – Robots Alive
“Your guidance has been like a support system. It was under your mentorship that I have
been able to make the first few moves as an entrepreneur more confidently. One great
thing that I must mention about MindSphere is that it just doesn’t support a company but it
actually enhances its personality and of the people within. MindSphere doesn’t do your
work but believes in teaching you how do it and hence teaching you all the nuances of
being a professional entrepreneur. I am very positive that Antara Design Studios as an
organization would achieve its vision with your guidance. Thank you” – Antara Pal
Chowdhury – Chief Executive – Antara Design Studios now Ambertree Consulting

24. What our Mentees Say About Us
“Our Association with MindSphere started about 3 months back. Though having
worked in multiple Large Indian and non Indian MNCs for about 15 years, at a time,
when it came to laying processes and procedures for an organization and getting the
right inputs from Industry colleagues mostly senior, was becoming increasingly
difficult, I got introduced to Sanjay. We were a startup of about 15 months + and did
reasonable well to sustain those first 15 months, however I was not getting a overall
picture of what was going right and what wasn’t. Sanjay helped me pay attention
towards the Finance processes and functions, health of the organization, cash flows,
Legal & Statutory compliance, short term and long term strategies, Sales & Marketing,
branding etc., which helped take a step out of the box and take that critical look at all
these functions. And more importantly how a business person should strategies to
build wealth and increase the shareholder value while ensuring that the employees
grow along with the organization and make them part of the plan to succeed” -
