The economic and social impacts of the pandemic are reverberating globally: amid great uncertainty, we can all foresee a very different world for a long time to come.
At the same time, the challenging times is creating opportunities for many as more people are going towards entrepreneurship. Contrary to normal times, in a crisis, the dynamic of risk / reward shifts dramatically – the real risk becomes doing nothing, especially when people’s jobs, or livelihoods, are at stake. A crisis pushes people out of status quo and makes them innovative. A crisis shifts people towards business.
For most of the people, starting a business is the way out but don't know what to do next.
Starting a business entails understanding and dealing with many issues—legal, financing, sales and marketing, human resources, and much more, besides the commitment and challenges involved.
WE BELIEVE this crisis will no doubt cause many difficulties for people, but it will also create opportunities for innovation across many industries, giving birth to many enterprises in rebuilding the economy and the nation.

Today’s youth is beginning to believe in self-employment. If those who go by self-employment can get a boost, encouragement, assistance, and the right direction at the beginning of the journey, it may ensure getting success in good quantity, and by emulating them, a large section who keeps looking for government jobs may veer towards self-employment. A startup is not an easy path to tread, but the current generation is ready to invest their years into entrepreneurship.
Through these workshops, Sleepwell Foundation is creating a conducive boost for a prosperous economic condition and form the foundation for an emotionally well generation.
