What is the Ignition Program:

The Ignition Program offers post-secondary students a 10-week program that gives access to training, mentorship, resources, ecosystem connections; and honorariums to support personal and business development. Students will be awarded $10 for each session they engage with!

What’s in this session:

Starting a business is exciting, but success doesn’t happen by chance. In this session, Shivani Dhamija, Founder of Shivani’s Kitchen, shares how having a clear business plan helped her go from a home kitchen to Walmart and Costco shelves. Students will learn how a business plan clarifies your vision, helps avoid costly mistakes, and opens doors to funding and partnerships. Whether you're just starting or thinking about growing, this session will help you build a roadmap to success. 

You’ll walk away with: 

  • A simple framework for writing your own business plan 
  • Real-life examples from Shivani’s entrepreneurial journey 
  • Tips on avoiding common pitfalls when starting out 

Speaker's Bio:

Founder & CEO of Shivani’s Kitchen, Shivani is an award-winning foodpreneur and bold-hearted speaker. She’s gone from depressed customer service rep to culinary CEO — and she brings every gritty, glorious lesson with her to the stage. Her talks blend lived experience, laughter, and leadership wisdom that resonates long after the last applause.
