Lots, if you're attending an entrepreneurs' evening at the Open Coffee Club
How about smothering cut-throat competition over a hot steamy cuppa, or taking counsel from tough tycoons while biting into a burger? Entrepreneurship is more than brisk business, and nothing shows it better than the Open Coffee Club (OCC), a community of corporates who share tricks of the trade with peers, accompanied by cookies, caffeine and informal chatter. We bring you a mugful of the experience.
Of sips and tips
OCC is like a big open lounge, where members can interact with others from their industry, showcase demos of what they are working on, and learn from each others' projects. The community offers recognised and regular meeting venues for industrialists to meet investors, professionals and anyone else who fancies coming along for a relaxed, enriching session. All are welcome, they shout out loud, as long as you're there to grow and help others with the same.
Kaafi over coffee
No, it isn't like you're sitting with a client and whiling away time in polite conversation. Not even like an ego warfield. There's high scope for networking, finding worthy partners and resource hunting. Investors will find entrepreneurs and vice versa. If you're fresh into an industry and want an insight into what's really going on, you'll find professional mentors and seniors aplenty. If you're about to pack up your profession, stroll down here to spread your know-how or look out for a fresh start with like-minded folk, instead of scrambling around on job sites.
The meets
In Delhi and NCR, OCC organises monthly meets, mostly at a coffee shops like Barista or Cafu00c3u00a9 Coffee Day, where 10-15 members gather and discuss topics related to start-ups, new technologies, challenges in businesses and past lessons.
New? Especially for you!
The group attaches high value to those running start-ups, in particular. It encourages them to share information and skills, and help others overcome any problems, obstacles or problems they might be facing.
Around the world
This isn't a local teach-train. Even if you're away from your parent club location, you wouldn't miss the action, because the club has its branches in every known city around the world, be it Amsterdam, Athens, Austin, Berlin, Boston, Brussels, Dallas, Geneva, Houston, Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, Moscow, Parisu00e2u0080u00a6 phew! In India, the club has its chapters in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Pune, to name a few. If your city doesn't feature in the list, you, too can replicate the format with no cost, since you don't need to buy a place to start the club. Who says only a B-school can make a great businessman?
