INNOVATIONS

MINJU helps to structure a multidisciplinary program for innovations, considering most of the times innovation is perceived as one of two ends of the spectrum: either as the invention or as the actual product or service. The propriety  framework is an  innovation process to move an idea to an actual outcome through venture development process of thinking, ideating, innovating, implementing and nurturing . The framework is different from venture funding, which focuses on deployment of capital or accelerator, which focus to   incubating a company through a process of fail fast. The process  looks at developing an enterprise as a puzzle by bringing various components together through a process of design, development and management to create a successful venture.

VENTURE DEVELOPMENT

PATHWAY FOR ENTERPRENUARIAL THINKING LEADS THROUGH INNOVATION  & VENTURE DEVELOPMENT

MINJU cultivates the  mindset of stakeholders to understand internal needs, capabilities and constraints, while at the same time grasping external factors such as intellectual property protection, investment mechanisms, and legal and regulatory boundaries.
