"At my medical journal Cureus, Vidyangi and Elina successfully applied various techniques to revamp editorial operations. From this and other experimentation, this duo has acquired a unique set of insights that can be used to drive key business decisions like monetization, pivoting, cost-cutting, etc. I believe that The Solution Book can be a valuable problem-solving tool for startup owners, inventors and all innovators who are looking to optimize their business processes and organization"

Vida coached me on content, strategy and speech writing during crucial fundraising events for Hume Center. She used specific templates which helped us showcase our organization's mission and vision. I highly recommend the templates Vida uses and has showcased in The Solution Book

If you need help with messaging, pitching, and storytelling, I would recommend you reach out to Vida Patil. I am working on a disruptive technology startup, MemLove. The product is unique to help grievers cope faster by empowering them to continue conversations with their lost loved one's impersonations. The concept is difficult to articulate and explain in a few sentences. I was looking for a professional to help me with the presentation. Still, I could not find someone who can understand the concept and articulate at the same time understand the building blocks of a startup. I met Vida Patil, a startup coach, and entrepreneur in residence, helping an accelerator with pitch events and teaches founders at the accelerator programs. She was very flexible and patient to understand the concept. She is knowledgeable and insightful and her suggestions guided me on how to present my pitch succinctly and showcase its core purpose. With her help, the final deliverable came out crisp and flawless.

Creativity workshop organized by Elina and Vida was a perfect reminder that creativity can be trained and developed, and also an invitation to discover inspiration through simple examples. A number of problem solving techniques were explained and provided during the workshop and even though it had to be held online, all the participants worked in groups to try those out. It was really exciting to see how Elina and Vida came up with creative ways and techniques to run the training online and bring so much interactivity into it! Overall this workshop is for those who want to learn creativity and how to follow the creative process from the idea generation through to the evaluation of the further idea development and pitching as every training it requires full participation to get the most out of it!

Mrs. Vida Patil has made a big contribution to my entrepreneurial journey. I met her through the iStart Valley network and attended some of her talks and seminars before we had our first meeting. Getting a meeting with someone like Mrs. Patil was a great privilege for me. Furthermore, being her mentee was even a greater privilege because it was really hard to find someone with her expertise that was willing to take a chance at me. Every time we meet, she always asks me very eye-opening questions that motivate me to think further about my startup idea and where I want to take it. She also provides me with the right resources from articles to people to an entire network. In terms of accomplishments, she has helped our startup team receive 1st place in our internship competition, and receive 3rd place overall in iStart Valley's global startup battle. I have accomplished a lot throughout my entrepreneurial journey with Mrs. Patil's guidance and I cannot wait to go further with her guidance.
