The 6-Month Timeline: From Corporate Professional to Live Founder
Why This Course is Non-Negotiable for Your Career Break

Taking a career break to start your own company is both exciting and scary. You have a great product idea, the passion to build it, and a 6-month window to make it happen. But as day one approaches, the big question hits you: Where do I actually start?

The world of D2C and quick commerce moves at a blistering speed. You can’t just launch a Shopify website and wait for magic to happen. A lot goes into building a successful brand from scratch—you need to find manufacturers, sort legal paperwork, list your products on e-commerce sites (Amazon, Flipkart), enter quick commerce apps (such as Blinkit and Zepto), run social media ads, and manage your stocks while on a budget. Figuring out all of this by yourself can take over 12 to 18 months—so your 6-month break could end way before you ship your first order.

If you are on a break from your 9-to-5 job and wish to establish your own business in these 6 months, you can’t afford to waste time—and you can’t miss the Post Graduate Program (PGP) in D2C & Quick Commerce Launchpad , developed by EntreLogy Business School in association with CollegeDekho . The course is specifically designed for aspiring founders who want to turn their raw product idea into a live, listed brand across Shopify, Amazon, and Blinkit in just half a year.

Why This Course is Non-Negotiable for Your Career Break

Every single week counts when you are taking time off to set up a business. The PGP course bridges the gap between academic theories and real-world execution, so you can start making profit out of your own business and don’t have to go back to your job after a break.

Program Pillar	Traditional Approach	The PGP Launchpad Execution Playbook	Impact on Your Career Break
1. Real Execution vs. Case Studies	Studying outdated business cases and writing fictional corporate business plans.	Deploying a small seed budget (₹10,000–₹25,000) to buy real stock, run live ad campaigns, and acquire actual paying customers.	You graduate with a live, fully operating company with real transaction history, rather than just a piece of paper.
2. Practitioner Mentors vs. Career Professors	Learning theoretical business frameworks from academics who have never run a business.	Learning directly from successful builders and investors like Arjun Vaidya (Dr. Vaidya's), Samruddhi Chhajed (Q-Commerce Expert), Vidushi Vijayvergiya (Shark Tank Founder), and Mohit Gulati (VC).	You receive unvarnished, market-proven feedback and avoid the costly mistakes typical of first-time founders.
3. Integrated AI-Accelerated Frameworks	Building everything slowly by hand, consuming months of valuable time.	A split monthly schedule: Weeks 1-2 cover traditional business foundations; Weeks 3-4 re-run the exact same topics using AI copilots to automate copy, research, ads, and contracts.	Allows a single founder to work at four times the speed, squeezing two years of operational work into just 6 months.
4. Immersion Residencies vs. Working in Isolation	Staying isolated at home trying to build a business with zero industry connections.	Network-building through a Goa Founder Bootcamp (mindset shift & CXO roundtables), followed by dedicated physical D2C and Quick Commerce residency immersions.	Instantly plugs you into a high-caliber peer group and a professional startup ecosystem the moment you leave your job.
5. Live Demo Day vs. Final Exams	Submitting a final written report or an academic slideshow presentation to a teacher.	Stepping onto a live campus stage in Pune to present your audited brand metrics (Revenue, ROAS, CAC, LTV) directly to angels and pre-seed venture capitalists.	Your career break ends with a high-stakes, public launch of a fundable corporate asset, opening direct doors to real investor funding.
