Joining Stoa has been the wisest decision that I've taken recently and the course and the community is definitely bringing justice to my decision. Learning fundamentals and building proof of work is motivating me to do better everyday!
Equipping great talent with skills to break into high growth companies, helping high growth companies hire the talent they craved for. Stoa School is filling the gap everyone felt!
Thank you Stoa team & all the facilitators for delivering such amazing value 😊
Feels amazing to be a part of the doer community 😄
Stoa has created such a deep meaningful community that one can effortlessly talk to people from varied background and learn daily!
It's great they are challenging traditional B School as their curriculum is designed for
" Learn by doing "
Have been a part of cohort 2 , and I can vouch they are gonna make it big!!!
Amazing news for an amazing startup. Glad that I got to be part of its first cohort. The community keeps giving.
The group of people in the community alone made it worth it for me to join. Every thing else was an added excellence.
The StoaMBA Program is going to be the most sought after academic credentials by early stage startups and companies alike. I’m glad I got to be a part of one of your cohorts and excited to see all the magic that Stoa will deliver to the education industry/system in India.
Stoa School is the best thing to happen in Indian Education sector. Totally Value for money MBA program where the best operators in the industry teach you and you learn together with most eclectic set of folks.
Happy to have checked both the ways of being part of Stoa. First as a cohort member and then as part of the marketing team. Made friends, got out of comfort zone and got the confidence to finally launch my own business.
I've always heard, that there are very few people in life who genuinely want what's best for you, personally & professionally, but only after I became a part of the Stoa community did I realize that it wasn't true. The community here is filled with the best kind of people who are literally just a message away. It doesn't matter that you've never talked to them before, they're just there for you whenever you need them, be it general chit-chat, talking about experiences, getting advice, or just ranting. It's a different kinda feeling to know that there are 100s of people in your support system & they are cheering you on <3
I was skeptical while joining Stoa to see if this could work. However, within 50 days since joining, I've got a better understanding of seven different subjects such as data analytics, economics, marketing and business writing;
I've had opportunities to interact with founders and top management professionals to work on live cases for startups such as swiggy and raise; I've met 50+ amazing cohort members who hail from different parts of the world with varied educational and professional backgrounds; I got a platform to co-create a student run club (the Stoa entrepreneurship club) and I've got an ICF cerrified personal coach to help me find whatever it is that I'm looking for in life.
And I still feel that I have only experienced the tip of the iceberg.
I am confident that Stoa is on the journey to redefine business education and the future of Indian startup ecosystem.
Super happy to be a part of this brilliant, helpful, value driven community. I have had the pleasure of not just interacting, but forming friendships with so many incredible minds. The learning is designed for collaboration and team work, which is so important in the real professional world.
Every school should be this fun!
The team Stoa School from the very beginning focussed on delivering their promises , continued to work on feedback at the end of every session , and for the first time in this space it felt like your voice wasn’t being diluted in empty space but instead valued and implemented.
I've attended 3 CBCs in the last 2 years and Stoa has been the best experience without a doubt. The learnings, events, community, and vibes have been better than the other CBCs by a huge margin!
I'm glad I joined the first cohort of Stoa and the community keeps giving me back 🙌
Let me tell you what makes Stoa a fulfilling experience:
1. Community
The word community is thrown around here, there and everywhere. You might think what makes Stoa’s community different or great? Read on just to get a sneak peak into the community experience:
-Need guidance or help related to any topic under the Sun? Be it finance, crypto, career choices- Just put up a message and you’ll have people willing and happy to get on a call to help, advise or just listen. It’s empowering and breaks down walls of fear and doubt!
-Want to share memes, food recipes and have a laugh? The community is filled with memes, movie recommendation and all!
These are just nuggets of info there’s a lot more which is going on! To realise the power of Stoa’s community you need to experience it first hand. Trust me it’s worth it!
2. Learn by doing:
Each weekend is filled with lots of learnings in marketing, economics etc etc. In addition you learn by solving real life problems, applying concepts and coming up with a solution.
I was never inclined towards traditional education let alone go through education online but having been recommended by my sister about Stoa School has been the best decision so far.
They've helped me understand Economics, How to do Legit Research, How to see through the eyes of a marketer, and many more learnings I'm still to go through in the next 4 months.
These might sound cliched words but this is my most honest review in short and I'm so glad to be a part of this place that's backed by such intellectual investors.
Oh, and the community is filled with amazing people. You're want to connect with them and eventually become friends.
As rightly said "Stoa is a place to find the most ambitious people on the Internet". The most curious learner's of internet, go getters hungry to make an impact.
The amount of serendipity engineered in stoa community is amazing✨. It is something which one can't express in words but only experience.
The Do- School of Business justifies the works done by Stoa. I haven't experienced anything like "Learn by doing and applying theoretical knowledge within 24 hr" before Stoa happened.
Congratulations to the whole stoa team.
Stoa is by far the best learning platform we stoans have come across. Its community, prompts, several discord channels, case weekend, learning session all makes us going. You guys are building a very strong community at Stoa and we are proud to be part of it.
Stoa experience has been one of kind. It's been an immersive learning experience where best of both world meets- theory and even more important, apply it practically every single week. And the community is a gem that keeps giving.
With time this is all gonna compound and Stoa will be a force to reckon with.
Congratulations Stoa School! Super grateful that I enrolled for StoaMBA early in my career.
Learning new things everyday is fun! What an amazing community, coaching and curriculum.😍😍
Now I know what holistic growth means. It's awesome how this programme has helped me achieve so much in terms of clarity, confidence and an amazing offer in such a short time span.
You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Grateful to Stoa for bringing in such amazing and diverse people in the community. A special shoutout to Vishakha Shah and Mathew Kurian for making the journey special. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
Congratulations Stoa School! Being part of this community has helped me evolve not only professionally, but personally as well. It's baffling that in the span of just 5 months, one could add so much value just by lurking/listening/participating.
Also, I believe the phrase "Help will always be given to those who ask for it" applies perfectly to the Stoa community. Onwards and upwards!
Stoa is indeed a Do-school. It is the place where you
- Get clarity on what to do in life
- Meet some incredible folks,
- Network/jam with them,
- Learn by doing/sharing,
- Upskill every week, and
- Get that support/direction at every stage which you seek throughout your life,
Come, join the community and feel the magic yourself.
STOA moved me from desoultry to plan, ambiguity to clarity, non-purpose to purpose. With each session, I realised what I lacked and where I can improve. Step-by-step action plan on informational interviews made me realise what I really wanted to do in my job. I met fantastic folks like Raja Ramamoorthy R Divya Haritwal Nicaia Dsouza Rishabh Sonker ⭐ and many others.
Congratulations to the entire team at Stoa School. Its been such a fulfilling experience engaging with these fun, diverse and driven bunch of people from across India and abroad. I'm sure this is just the beginning in a long list of value-adds Stoa is going to bring to bridge the hiring-job seekers gap. So excited for what's in store!
Congratulations, providing contextual education relevant for the times is an art and Stoa School is par the boundary with the right mix of content, context and community. We'll see successful companies and leadership pipelines for many nxtgen biz's being created from this community! Glad to be a Stoan!
Stoa has been an opportunity for me to sharpen the saw for me and the saw is not only sharpeneded but also have a lot more ammunition now.
It is a fantastic platform for practical knowledge and wisdom but also a super active and real community.
Totally worth the fees paid! Over & Beyond.
Super proud to be a part of this community. this community enables knowledge sharing and networking among the peers. It takes you into immensely uncomfortable situations and makes sure that it's super fun to come out of it. StoaMBA has to be the best investment I have made till date. Onwards and Upwards 🚀🚀🚀
Definitely worth an exploration- its difficult to find such passionate plus ambitious plus smart plus humble community helping each other grow - like i think Ive legit never seen so many smart people working on something - let it be the cohort, team of stoa
Coming from a creative background, I had very little knowledge about the business world. I ran into stoa’s website right after college and decided to follow my curiosity. Five months later, I can confidently say that I found some of the best people, conversations & opportunities at Stoa. I feel like a brand new person.
Congratulations Stoa School! This is first of many milestones to come! Thank you for making me believe in my gut feeling! It has been an insanely rewarding journey and as I would like to say, being part of stoa's community is the social currency everyone in the Indian startup ecosystem is going to need in the days to come!
Congratulations to the Stoa Team!!! Glad to be part of this amazing community. It's real fun to witness how networking happens at Stoa and how ideas and knowledge is exchanged among peers. Stoa's impact is something you realise over time and not immediately. And it's totally worth it in the end 😀
