StartUps- the calling of the day…. and in some ways, the need of the hour. From the new age enterprising individuals to the seasoned ones looking to create something out of the box, StartUps are a huge deal! Bringing in a sort of vent to those ever active thinking minds, but have also given us horizons to cash in on! Throw in a table and beer kegs with a ping pong ball! What an idea, sirji… sn’t it? Sure… But the challenge is yet to begin.
Have you ever wondered why startups are resorting to Beer Pong challenges? It isn’t to just guzzle down beer! There is a deep rooted reason underlying the cool funda. It serves the purpose of stimulating the brain so more work can be carried out around solving the issue at hand. Basically Beer pong is – at least in startup ecosystems – a productivity tool, as opposed to a mindless ‘break’ away topped with a few glasses of beer!
With challenges of funding, hiring, expanding, there is one thing that supersedes it all…. the right Network! But how do you get to that small ray of light when there are long sighted deadlines to be reached, innovative ideas to be developed and break through barriers to be crashed? The startup culture isn’t one to bow down…. and hence, the competition shoots through the roof. Beer Pong challenges are the route to connect with like minded… or opposing minded brains behind competing startups… bringing ideas and cutting down barriers, to think beyond the periphery. “Make thy competition, thy comrade”!
Beer pong isn’t a fad… It is a way for startups to bring a tradition of boosting morale, ideating freely, conducting healthy competition and making team spirit as the anthem! So, all you “Step Up or Step Out” founders, it’s time for you to step up and put the step up for your team… because free minds are genius minds!
