Trusity Collaborates with GEMS Our Own Indian School to Drive Youth Entrepreneurship

In a pioneering partnership, GEMS Our Own Indian School and Trusity have joined forces to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship into the core offering for middle and high school students. This collaboration aims to provide all students within the targeted age group with equal opportunities to develop essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation and resilience while encouraging them to build solutions for real-world challenges.

The extensive student cohort will follow a structured progression pathway, where selected participants will undergo intensive training in financial literacy, business modeling, financial planning, and strategic decision-making. This ensures that students not only grasp theoretical business concepts but also apply them practically in an entrepreneurial setting. As part of the initiative, the top 10 ideas will be shortlisted for the final investor pitch competition, where students will compete for an opportunity to receive incubation and fundraising support under Trusity’s Dubai SME-certified incubator, TruNext.

Lalitha Suresh, Principal of GEMS Our Own Indian School, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the school’s dedication to preparing students for the future. “At OIS, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our students are future-focused and well-prepared to thrive in an ever-evolving world of technology and innovation.
