On 17 September 2025, the Centre for Conscious Entrepreneurship at Chanakya University hosted a session titled “No Phone, No Worries” with Mr. Aniruddh Balasubramaniam, CEO of Port by Numberless. The talk combined reflections on conscious entrepreneurship with insights from his entrepreneurial journey.
Aniruddh began by introducing the principles of conscious entrepreneurship, emphasizing how awareness, responsibility, and ethical decision-making must form the foundation of any enterprise. He then connected these ideas to market realities, discussing the challenges of aligning vision with adoption and the resilience needed to navigate gaps between innovation and acceptance.
A distinctive aspect of the session was his candid sharing of personal experiences. He spoke openly about mistakes, missteps, and the lessons they brought, offering students a practical understanding of the entrepreneurial path.
The interactive Q&A session saw students raise questions on technology, privacy, identity, and business execution. Aniruddh responded with detailed perspectives, transforming the discussion into a dialogue rather than a lecture.
The program underlined the Centre’s mission to nurture entrepreneurs who value both innovation and integrity. By blending philosophical depth with practical realities, the session encouraged students to view entrepreneurship as a responsibility as much as an opportunity.
The event concluded with thanks to Mr. Balasubramaniam for his openness and to the student community for their engaged participation. The session reinforced the University’s commitment to fostering leaders who shape markets with consciousness and creativity.
