The first-ever KidsMBA Programme in Bhutan saw 26 school children develop and present innovative business ideas. This was part of the closing session of the inaugural KidsMBA Bhutan Programme, which took place on Saturday in Thimphu. It is an international entrepreneurship programme for children that introduces them to business and entrepreneurship. His Royal Highness Prince Ugyen Jigme Wangchuck graced the closing of the weeklong programme.

The programme culminated in presenting business idea pitches from nine student groups developed over the week.

Their ideas ranged from solutions to reduce plastic waste to pet grooming services, and audio guides for tourists.

The two winning teams of the programme are Backpack Basics and Dragon’s Audio Guide.

“I liked this MBA class as I learned a lot. I did not expect to win but I did and it is all thanks to my wonderful team and the teamwork and effort all of us put in,” said Kyle Yangsel Lotey, a participant.

“I learned a lot and I thank the teachers for teaching us a lot. I also thank my parents for putting me in this MBA class. I also thank my team for the wonderful work and I hope I can do well from now on,” said Soednam Tshepam Lhazey, a participant.

“I learned that when doing business, age does not matter. You can start a business at any time and you need to have the confidence to make your business a success,” Bhavya Dhakal, another participant.

“I really enjoyed the KidsMBA programme as it taught me a lot about finance and how to manage my budget. It was also interesting to meet new people and learn about business. I learned new things that I would not have learned in school,” added Yigha Kinley Wangzin, who also participated in the programme.

One of the two winning teams will also have the opportunity to virtually participate in the International Creativity and Innovation Awards.

Parents of the participants expressed their delight with the programme.

“I am very pleased with this programme as it is important to build a strong foundation from a very young age. Learning and understanding financial and economic terms are also vital,” said Wangmo, a parent.

According to the organisers, the programme was designed to give students hands-on experience in business, covering areas such as marketing, financial planning, and pitching ideas.
