18-year-old Malaysian based UPenn student, Harsha Ravindran, from the Nationwide Youth Movement, Ascendance, shared her journey as a young entrepreneur during the ‘Discover The Real You’ talk to inspire more than 100 students at Real International School yesterday.
Harsha who became the CEO of Startmyname.com at a young age also shared how failures and stepping out of her comfort zone was what got her more opportunities towards achieving her goals.
“Because of the complaint from my client, I wrote down my experiences of building a business from the perspective of a young entrepreneur as a manual for other teenage entrepreneurs who are going through similar struggles as me; which eventually resulted in the release of my book - The Makings of a Teenage Entrepreneur,” said Harsha during her speech yesterday.

It might seem rather brave to propose to set up a new university in the very challenging environment for higher education in Malaysia but the proposal from Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar that Medac aims to establish a university of co-operatives and entrepreneurship deserves serious attention.
The vision is to create a new cohort of professionals and entrepreneurs with leadership and management expertise for the next generation of co-operatives and enterprises among more than 6.1 million members of the Malaysian co-operatives movement.
