Surat, April 18: Prodigy Club, in collaboration with VR Mall, hosted CEO Forum 4.0 on April 18, 2025 from 5 PM to 8 PM at VR Mall, Surat. This was the event that provided a platform for children aged 6 to 10 to pitch self made products to a panel of renowned industry leaders. The initiative aimed to teach
entrepreneurship through hands on experience in a real market environment.
Over 50 young participants showcased products like candles, bracelets, bird feeders, and keychains—each developed, priced, and marketed by the children themselves over a two-month period. The kids demonstrated impressive business understanding, from cost pricing to customer engagement.
The panel of sharks included CA Ravi Chhawchharia, Samarth Arya, Anushree Pacheriwal, and Anurag Sundarka, who praised the children’s creativity and confidence. The event drew large crowds, and most products were sold out by the end.
While speaking with one of the parents, she shared, “I’m extremely happy and proud of what my child is learning. I feel both excited and overwhelmed right now. I truly appreciate how Prodigy Club has given my child the opportunity to learn and grow through this experience.”
Organized by Shruti Agrawal, founder of Prodigy Club, the event was a resounding success and set a new benchmark for experiential learning and youth entrepreneurship in Surat.
