Feasibility Study: EduPreneurship Program

Location: Mumbai, India
Business Type: Hybrid (Education + Enterprise Incubation)

1. Executive Summary

The EduPreneurship Program is a pioneering seven-year educational and entrepreneurial initiative aimed at youth aged 15 to 22. Integrating formal academics with enterprise creation, the program mandates that every participant legally register a business and achieve at least $1 million in cumulative revenue to graduate.

Graduates will hold recognized academic degrees, vocational and international certifications, and equity in functioning companies. Financial sustainability is achieved via equity sharing and an operational model designed for long-term impact.

2. Market Analysis

India’s demographic dividend—over 600 million individuals under age 25—presents vast potential for educational reform. Traditional systems often fail to cultivate job creators, creating demand for practical, skills-based programs.

Mumbai, as India’s commercial capital, offers an ideal launchpad due to its youthful population, vibrant startup culture, and investor network. Supported by government reforms such as NEP 2020, the EduPreneurship Program is well-positioned to meet a critical need.

Target Segments:

Students (15–22 years), post-10th or 12th grade
Parents seeking measurable ROI on education
International students from Asia, GCC, and Africa

3. Organizational and Ownership Structure

Managed by EduPreneur Partnership Corporation (EPC), each student business is established as a sub-entity. The equity structure ensures shared responsibility and long-term alignment:

Student: 36% (CEO role, decision-making authority)
Bank/Investor: 35% (Funding partner)
CSR/Charity/Institute Social Dept: 10% (Impact governance)
Institute: 19% (Support services provider)

This framework balances entrepreneurial freedom with institutional support.
