build3, an ecosystem championing startups that merge profit with purpose has today announced the launch of Cohort 2 of its Impact Startup Academy (ISA).
Scheduled to begin on November 25, this five-week program builds on the success of its inaugural batch, aiming to surpass previous benchmarks by empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to address pressing global challenges.
The academy focuses on tackling issues related to mental health, physical well-being, and environmental sustainability, aligning closely with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into innovative business models.
Commenting on the launch, Gaurav Singh, impact entrepreneur and co-creator of the Impact Startup Academy, shared his insights ahead of ISA’s Cohort 2 by saying, “The inaugural cohort of the Impact Startup Academy was a lasting success. We were surprised by the extraordinary response, which led us to commence the second Cohort within a short time. At this cohort, our objective remains the same, to create a course that offers 360-degree knowledge for individuals to transform into impact entrepreneurs.”
“We will try to integrate motivational examples to fuel their aspirations and introduce them to a like-minded community to partner with and learn from. Our goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where purpose and profit are seen singularly, building towards UN-defined SDGs and leveraging ESG norms,” He further added.
The course has been designed and curated for three distinct categories of individuals — early-stage founders with an impact idea, aspiring founders looking for an idea, and individuals looking to make a positive difference and seeking appropriate guidance.
