"I only have one message for young entrepreneurs: Do not fear failure. We have grown up in a culture that teaches us to be afraid of failure. We are constantly made to feel that we have to succeed from Day One. This stops us from taking risks and halts our growth," she said. Perseverance is what kept Kiran going. "As an entrepreneur, you must be prepared to fail. The trick is to pick yourself up and try again to succeed. Success will definitely follow," she assures the young, spell-bound crowd.

The E-Week Championship Awards was a high wattage drama with a happy ending. The champions were declared; elated winners went berserk; cameras clicked non-stop; some even grabbed pictures on their mobile phones; almost all wanted to pose with the special invitees. There were about 75 students on stage, enjoying their moment of glory, thumping and jumping in unison.
