Hello mr chandu My name is himanshu as an aspiring entrepreneur i already started my entrepreneurship journey more than yr ago i am focusing on cosmetics products And doing r&d with some chemist formulator already find out the gap in the market . kindly suggest me to get funding to start my business properly

Ans: All the best in your entrepreneur journey Himanshu. Making a product / set of products is one part of the journey. There is a lot more to be done before you can be considered investment-ready. Which customer segment(s) are you targeting and why, what is the missing gap in cosmetics that you are solving for, what key issues with current products do which customers have and how is your offering significantly better, initial customer feedback and reactions, your go to market strategy, revenue model, unit economics, key leadership team etc. If you have co-founders with complementary skills and experience, esp in this competitive space with a solid track record, that is a good start. It might also help being part of a relevant incubator to get access to industry connections, mentors, even better access to potential investors. All the best

Ans: Sanjib Sir, With a 96th percentile in CUET Science, admission to Delhi University’s B.Sc. (Hons.) mid-tier programmes—such as Zoology, Botany or Life Sciences at Hansraj, Miranda House and Ramjas—is well within reach, as these colleges typically close around the 92nd–97th percentile. University of Delhi’s offerings span 19 honours and 10 programme specializations, delivered by tenured faculty in well-equipped teaching and research labs and supported by semester-wise project work and interdisciplinary electives. Ashoka University’s four-year B.Sc. emphasizes liberal-arts integration, nine foundation courses, pure and interdisciplinary majors, high-end research facilities and mandatory capstone theses under PhD-qualified mentors, complemented by global partnerships and the Ashoka Scholars Programme for postgraduate research immersion. Both institutions hold NAAC accreditation and offer robust career-development services and internship placements in premier research and industry centers.

For a holistic research-driven science education with intensive faculty mentorship and global academic pathways, the recommendation is Ashoka University B.Sc. If diverse specializations, large peer networks and established undergraduate curricula appeal more, choose Delhi University B.Sc. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
