#Introduction: Enabling Young Innovators at Founders Club

At Founders Club, we think innovation starts when action meets ideas. Our drive has always been to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in students — to inspire them to create, collaborate, and question conventional thinking.

With that enthusiasm, we organized "Plan-C", an enlightening and informative event that invited budding innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives from all over SRM. The event gave people a platform to share ideas, learn from industry leaders, and discover what it really takes to turn an idea into reality. <br>

Behind the Scenes: The Team That Made It Happen

It takes energetic individuals to power every successful event. Plan-C was held under the visionary guidance of our Presidents, Rohan Bandari and Pratyaksh Dwivedi, whose drive and vision motivated the entire team to put in their best. The coordination of the event went smoothly under Lehan Vats' careful planning and tireless efforts.

Special thanks are due to Ishan Roy, our Club Advisory Head, for his guidance, mentorship, and support that helped polish Plan-C into a memorable learning experience for all.

Key Highlights of the Event

1. How to Pitch an Idea — with Pratyaksh Dwivedi

Arguably the most looked-forward-to segment of Plan-C was the session conducted by our President, Pratyaksh Dwivedi, "How to Pitch an Idea.

This interactive session explored the skill of presenting ideas effectively — taking a mere idea and making it a compelling story engaging audiences, investors, and partners alike. Participants gained essential tips on how to structure a pitch, emotionally connect with listeners, and become confident presenters.

2. Startup Stories — A Talk by Sarathi Chandran R Chandran

The session also included a motivating speech by Sarathi Chandran R Chandran, who spoke about his entrepreneurial experience — replete with problems, epiphanies, and learning experiences during the journey. His address motivated attendees to see failure as part of the process, remain tough, and keep experimenting fearlessly.

His presentation reminded everyone that being an entrepreneur is not merely about founding a company; it's about creating a difference, addressing issues, and learning every step of the way.

Capturing the Spirit: The Plan-C Vlog

These moments should be cherished, and the Plan-C vlog did just that.

The videography was in the capable hands of Joshua K Biju, who captured the energy, enthusiasm, and behind-the-scenes collaboration during the day. Bhavika Gupta excellently played the interviewer's role, interacting with participants and speakers with thought-provoking questions that brought their experiences to life on screen.

Together, they built a visual narrative that captured the excitement and innovation that characterize Founders Club events.
