Before you commit your savings, your time, and your reputation to a new venture, you need honest, structured, practitioner-led guidance.
CRRD's Pre-Venture Counselling service helps aspiring entrepreneurs evaluate their:
Venture idea assessment — is the problem real? Is it painful enough to pay for?
Personal readiness audit — skills, resources, risk tolerance, and commitment level
Market reality check — who is your customer, how big is the market, who else is solving this?
Financial readiness — how much do you need, how long before cash flow, and what is your runway?
Action plan — a clear, written roadmap for the next 90 days: proceed, pivot, or pause ?
Entrepreneur Awareness Programmes: We also conduct group awareness sessions for aspiring entrepreneurs — typically 1–2 day workshops covering:
entrepreneurial mindset,
idea validation,
basic business planning,
government scheme awareness (PMFME, Mudra, Startup India), and mentorship matching.
(Available for colleges, industry associations, and government bodies.)
