Dr. Arnab Basu — CEO and Co-founder of Yancha, inspired the students of Amity University Kolkata as the keynote speaker on World Entrepreneurs’ Day, celebrated on 21st August under the Institution’s Innovation Council.

An entrepreneur, consultant, author, and educator, Dr. Basu shared powerful insights on risk-taking, building sustainable ventures, and leading with vision. He highlighted that entrepreneurship is about resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving that creates real value for society, not just innovation alone.

From mentoring startups to taking Kolkata’s Durga Puja to the world stage as the “Greatest Show on Earth”, his journey reflected how passion and perseverance can transform ideas into global impact. His recognition as ET Ascent CEO of the Year and listing among the Top 3 Most Influential Business Leaders in India (2024) by The Economic Times added further weight to his inspiring story.

For AUK students, his session was more than a keynote — it was a masterclass in entrepreneurial thinking that left them motivated to chase their dreams with courage and purpose.

Amity University Kolkata feels honoured to have hosted Dr. Basu and remains committed to nurturing future innovators, changemakers, and leaders.
