Venue: Bhoopathi Raja Bank, Rajapalayam



At Rajapalayam Young Entrepreneurs Club (RYEC), we believe every entrepreneur’s journey is shaped by their ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and take charge of their financial future. That’s why our session on Critical Thinking in Entrepreneurship & Personal Finance was designed to inspire, empower, and equip members with skills they can use every day.

Session Overview

Our guest speaker, Mr. Pravin Gnanam (Business Head, Bee Pee Packaging), led the session with practical wisdom and engaging stories from his own leadership journey. Known for his innovative thinking and passion for nurturing young entrepreneurs, Mr. Pravin made the complex topics of critical thinking and personal finance accessible to everyone in the room.



Event Highlights

• Making Critical Thinking Practical:

  The session explored how critical thinking isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a daily habit that sets successful entrepreneurs apart. Through real-life examples and interactive discussions, Mr. Pravin encouraged members to question the status quo, evaluate risks, and approach problems with a creative mindset.
• Personal Finance Demystified:

  Rather than treating finance as a hurdle, the session made it a stepping stone. Members learned practical ways to manage earnings, set clear budgets, and differentiate personal and business finances for better growth and security.
• Hands-On Learning:

  The event was lively with scenario-based exercises, Q&As, and candid conversations about money management, business decisions, and growth strategies. The atmosphere encouraged everyone to share, learn, and grow together.



Key Takeaways

• Critical thinking is about staying curious, asking “why” and “what if,” and being open to learning.
• Smart financial habits—like tracking expenses, setting targets, and reviewing progress—lead to stronger, more resilient businesses.
• Clear separation between business and personal finances is essential for clarity and long-term growth.
• Embracing a growth mindset and learning from both successes and failures is the true mark of an entrepreneur.



Event Impact

Members left the session feeling energized, more confident about their decision-making, and ready to apply practical tools to both their businesses and personal lives. Many shared that the discussion inspired them to approach problems differently and manage their money more wisely.
