University Student aims to connect student entrepreneurs through UnifySA
Entrepreneur Name: Shruti Dowlath
Business Name: UnifySA, Cape Town, Westeen Cape, South Africa
Many a time we have to let go of some amazing business ideas just because we don’t have the perfect team to execute it. Shruti Dowlath faced the same problem but instead of just letting it go she decided to find a solution and that’s how UnifySA was born.
UnifySA aims to bring together like-minded people with common business interests. Student entrepreneurs can list the desired that they look for in a business partner and the platform will connect them with their prospective partners. Dowlath thinks that universities are the place where lots of innovative business ideas are born and her business will help them become a success.
Unlike other competitors, Shruti had no business plan to present in the UCT Shark Tank. All she had was the idea of UnifySA. Making it to the final round was a dream for her so when she was announced as the winner she was ecstatic. While talking about the experience she says “Pitching in front of sharks is scarier than being in an actual shark tank. It was either sink or swim”
UnifySA was launched on 28th September following which a number of student entrepreneurs expressed interest in being a part of the team.
