“…The challenge is to remain an artist after you grow up,” said Pablo Picasso. The quote holds true for Shahid Mawji, a grade 12 student from Brampton, who’s plunged into the world of adults by starting his own science club, the Brampton Edisons. Mawji took the help of Brampton Small Business Enterprise Centre that contributes to the growth of local economy by fostering long-term sustainability of micro and small businesses across all sectors.
Shivani Sharma caught up with the young entrepreneur and talked about his dreams and aspirations. Here are excerpts of his interview with Generation Next:
How did you learn about The City of Brampton’s Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC)? Who introduced to the program?
My elder brother’s friend did the program. I took inspiration and entered the summer company program.
What ignited the spark in you to start a business venture?
I started teaching grade eight.
