    <p><span>Most people have heard the word entrepreneurship, but <em><strong>what exactly is artrepreneurship?</strong></em> Come to one of our Speaker Series events with Vinita Sud Belani where she will talk about her </span>experience as an entrepreneur in the tech world to where she became an artrepreneur. The event will take place on <span><strong>October 16th from 12-1pm at the University Center room 310.</strong></span></p>
    <p><span><strong><u>About the Event</u></strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Come listen to serial entrepreneur Vinita Sud Belani talk about how her </span>experience as an entrepreneur in the tech world propelled her to become an artrepreneur.  She turned her passion for theatre into a platform for bringing together not just demographically diverse communities, but also the business and the artistic community and the amateur and the <span>professional artists of that community.</span></p>
    <p><span>Vinita will focus on the importance of clarity and relevance in an </span>organization's mission statement. She will address questions that are <span>just as critical for artrepreneurs as for entrepreneurs to build a </span>successful business.</p>
    <p><span>-  How far up the value chain does one need to go to to build a good product?</span></p>
    <p><span>-  Are you selling vitamins or painkillers?</span></p>
    <p><span>Come learn how to build an organization that is agile enough to </span>incorporate on the ground learnings into a strategic vision without impacting the core mission and vision.</p>
    <p><span><strong><u>About Vinita</u></strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Vinita received a BS and MS in Computer Science at Birla Institute of Technology and Science from India. In addition she has her MBA  from Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) from France, and a diploma in french language and culture from France and in German from the Max Mueller Institute from India. </span></p>
    <p><span>Vinita also comes from a wide range of work experience ranging from SOGETI CapGemini as Vice President, Socketworks International as the founder and CEO, the director for business development at FirstRain, founder and co-CEO at Paguro, and as an IT project manager at ANZ Grindlays Bank. </span></p>
    <p><span>Some awards and memberships Vinita has includes being a board member at MATRI, where she helps survivors of domestic abuse and domestic violence, along with being a previous board member of SEED, an international education initiative connecting high school students with scientists working on global projects.</span></p>
