The major missing component here to showcase the innovation was the lack of proper guidance and encouragement. So there were a few seeding thoughts that went into a kind of a mixer and the mixing element finally came out as Lemon Ideas. The need of the hour is to channelize the energy of people in a meaningful direction. Carving a path out for innovations out of conventional business models and churning out fresh ideas from young minds were amongst the major challenges that demanded positive re-orientation in the ways people are trained or the way they are educated. So, Lemon Ideas came into existence to rethink the solutions of the mentioned challenges. We took our baby steps into the unseeming world of innovations, training workshops and shaping mere ideas into successful ventures. We constantly strived towards helping people pursue their ideas and innovations. So a year apart, we slowly gained recognition as start-up and venture space from a pure innovation space.

Lemon Ideas is on a mission “Innovation by Everyone” and is striving towards empowering talented individuals to convert their ideas into Reality (Business Ventures). With hundreds of ventures being incubated-mentored & supported, and thousands of entrepreneurs nurtured & trained, Lemon Ideas has become a known name in the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem over the years. At Lemon Ideas, we believe and follow a unique pedagogy and experimentation approach for real-life entrepreneurs. Lemon offers acceleration and various mentoring programs for startups and seasoned entrepreneurs with innovation and technology as key drivers. Lemon is on a mission to ignite, nurture and support 10K innovators, entrepreneurs and change makers in 10 years of contribution with a greater focus on building the ecosystem in tier 2 and 3 cities.

We went for a profit model, where the idea was to make everyone a stakeholder in the complete co-creation effort, trainers & team members were stakeholders in the entire organization and the spirit was clear to co-create it.

We staunchly believed that the ultimate learning is a product of self- realization, self -reflection and insight development. Lemon School of Entrepreneurship (LSE) is a unique new age Gurukul with a vision to support, mentor and train budding as well as early stage entrepreneurs. The pedagogy is learning by doing, learning through reflections and real life experimentation.

LSE is neither affiliated to any University / Governing Body nor provides any recognized degree or diploma. We believe that creation of a work portfolio through experiential learning and pre-incubation training is vital for entrepreneurship. We offer entrepreneurship training programs and business training workshops. We also work with colleges and universities to build a robust ‘Innovation & Entrepreneurship’ ecosystem (includes pre-Incubation consulting & experiential workshops).

It gradually became a start-up competition and is today a very strong platform that we have for entrepreneurs, innovators and change-makers to showcase their start-up venture or their idea. INNOPRENEURS is a yearly startup contest hosted by Lemon Ideas since 2014. It is much more than a conventional B-plan contest.

It is a international level platform that encourages individuals/ students/ professionals to bring ideas, innovations to the platter for others to devour and earn mentoring, funding and network support. Since 2014, Innopreneurs has become a prominent platform for entrepreneurs with over 1000+ registrations received yearly now. If you Google ‘startup contest’ in India, you are most likely to see Innopreneurs in top few search results.
