Coach FAQ



What is my role as coach?
You will help teams transform business ideas into robust strategies. Your role will be to guide teams, not provide them with the solutions. For instance, if a team needs to size market potential, you have to help it identify key parameters and ensure that all assumptions are logical, not do the actual demand estimation.



Why is coaching important?
We see India Venture 2000 as a process of learning for participants. Although they have the ideas, they may not have all the knowledge and skill to convert these ideas into a viable business. Coaching will therefore be critical. Your expertise and skills will play a particularly pivotal role in transforming the ideas into a successful business.



How will India Venture 2000 assist me in my role as coach?
Your skills and experience amply qualify you to be an effective coach. In addition, the organisers will also offer assistance in the form of documents on business strategy in IT/e-commerce, a handbook on 'How to Write a Business Plan', links related to websites, and web-based communication tools. All these will be available through the India Venture 2000 website.



Do I get to choose the team I work with?
Yes. You can choose one or more teams, which request your assistance. However, speed is of essence. If you keep waiting for 'the' team, the other teams may start working with other coaches.



When do I start interacting with the teams?
We expect coach-team interactions to start in March and continue until June 2010.



How does the coach-team interaction work?
You and your teams can decide the best / most effective procedure that works for you. For example, you could conduct you coaching over the telephone, by e-mail, using web-based messaging services available at the website or even face-to-face.



Can I stop receiving mails from participants?
If you email us at india_venture_2010@mckinsey.com, we will block the autoforwarder facility.
