- 18:22The Next World War - The War For Entrepreneurship | Tushar Saini | TEDxYouth@NMSTushar Saini made a sharp contrast between the war of old times with the war of today, a sharp distinction between the warrior of the ancient era with the warrior of the future. He took the attendees on a journey through history, tracing the evolution of warfare from the primal struggles of prehistoric man fighting for survival, to the territorial expansions of ancient empires, the colonial conquests, and the industrial revolutions that reshaped economies. After that, he shone light on today's scenarios and the types of wars fought in today's time, which are all centred on economy, GDP and trade. Startups of today are the centre of power and are immensely influential that they have the ability to bend political leaders and stand on their own feet and become changemakers. The war of the past was about spears, the war of the 20th century was about nuclear weapons but the war of today is only about startups. The key takeaway? You don't always have to do something big- start small and start with a smile. Tushar Saini is a dynamic entrepreneur & mentor, recognised for his contribution to India’s startup ecosystem. An SRCC topper and Young Entrepreneur Award winner, he founded CUET Pro, a leading platform for entrance exam preparation. He is a partner at NEOS Angels Network, supporting startups with consultancy and funding. His dedication to fostering innovation led him to establish Nstart, India’s premier high-school incubation centre equipped with advanced resources to support young minds. He also mentors at top institutions like Global Centre for Entrepreneurship and Commerce and Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur, leveraging his expertise with aspiring founders. As City Lead at Headstart, a major grassroots organisation, Tushar drives support for startups across 20+ cities. Passionate about inspiring young entrepreneurs, he has motivated many students to launch their own ventures, actively paving the way for emerging talent.
