In today’s fast-evolving start-up ecosystem, digital presence and smart sales strategies are no longer optional; they are essential. Guiding young entrepreneurs to understand and leverage this reality, Ms. Maninder Kaur Panesar, Founder of Zenauf Tech Pvt. Ltd. and Maninder Wave, delivered a powerful and insight-driven session at the three-day Inter-College Workshop on ‘Effective Sales & Marketing Strategies for Start-Ups’ organised by the Start-Up Cell of Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women (MCM).
Known for her expertise in digital branding, technology-driven marketing, and modern sales solutions, Ms. Maninder Kaur Panesar emerged as one of the key highlights of the workshop. Her session stood out for its practical approach, real-world insights, and actionable strategies that students could immediately relate to and implement.
Addressing a hall full of aspiring entrepreneurs, Ms. Maninder Kaur Panesar emphasised that in the current business landscape, success depends largely on how effectively brands position themselves online. She explained that social media platforms are not just networking spaces but powerful sales engines that can transform small ideas into scalable ventures. Through live examples and case-based discussions, she demonstrated how start-ups can build strong digital identities, attract the right audience, and convert followers into loyal customers.
Her session covered essential topics such as social media selling techniques, personal and business branding, search engine optimisation (SEO), AI-powered marketing tools, and platform-specific strategies for Instagram, LinkedIn, and other digital channels. By simplifying complex digital concepts, she ensured that even first-time entrepreneurs could confidently understand and apply these methods.
What truly resonated with students was her emphasis on authenticity and consistency. She encouraged participants to focus on value-driven content, meaningful engagement, and ethical marketing practices rather than short-term trends. According to her, sustainable growth comes from trust and long-term relationships with customers.
The interactive nature of her session allowed students to ask questions, share ideas, and receive personalised guidance. Many participants described her talk as eye-opening, as it gave them a clear roadmap for navigating the competitive digital marketplace. Her practical tips on building online visibility and leveraging technology equipped students with skills that go beyond textbooks.
The workshop, organised in collaboration with the Postgraduate Department of Commerce and under the aegis of the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), also featured other industry experts who spoke about sustainable sales, consumer psychology, and ethical business practices. However, Ms. Maninder Kaur Panesar’s technology-focused insights added a contemporary dimension that perfectly aligned with the needs of modern start-ups.
