They have accumulated the best dancers in the country under one roof. The dancers teach viapre-recorded structured classes where the class production is done by TheVerb. The Acceleration from NSRCEL As NSRCEL is the entrepreneurial activity hub, we bring start-ups, industry mentors, eminent academicians and researchers together at our Centre. Even Bharath Kumar, the co-founder of TheVerb Dance Studio says,βThe startup ecosystem works as a great stimulus. Plus, great mentorship aids in problem solution and effective decision makingβ The Curtain Raiser Bharath, the Co-founder says, βWe were three people who used to stay in a one bedroom house. We studied and worked in that small space.β They started everything from that small space. A few days later, they entered in the βBusiness Plan Competitionβ at IIMB. After they reached the final stage and they got an opportunity to get incubated at NSRCEL and they took the opportunity. Now, they have been with NSRCEL for three months. The Calluses in the Journey It was not a cake walk for TheVerb. They faced a dilemma before getting incubated at NSRCEL. They got incubated at another reputed institution where they would receive a huge amount of money just after incubation. Whereas NSRCEL scrutinizes the idea first and then you get the investment. According to Bharath Kumar, the Co-founder of The Verb,βIt was a tough call to make but we donβt regret it at allβ NSRCEL Adds Rhythm to The Tempo As they started in a small one bedroom apartment, infrastructure was a complication. Thatβs where NSRCEL works as a catalyst. They have an incredible space to work on the campus and with the necessary amenities like Internet, working environment, remarkable mentors for guidance and the curated start-up work culture which helps them learn different things from fellow incubators. PliΓ© of the Mentors at NSRCEL TheVerbβs core teams are skilled engineers and even better dancers but with an initial knowledge of Marketing, Finance or Sales. Thatβs where the mentors came onto the scene. The complete guidance package with a vast amount of knowledge helped them learn how a business and start-ups work. Bharath Kumar says, βThe mentors have a vast amount of experience but we, on the other hand, have only 1 or 2 years of experience. So, while talking to them about the amount of knowledge that they transferred was in surplus. From the Doβs and Donβts of the business to the website layout, the mentors were a great deal of help.β The team is seven members strong. As a part of the economy, The Verb Dance is creating job opportunities for freshers. Final Thoughts Bharath said, βStart-ups are not about working like a robot. You have to take up things, work, be responsible for it and learn from it.
