On 27th November, students had the opportunity to attend an insightful session on entrepreneurship and innovation, led by guest speaker Natnicha Srichamnarn, founder of Nicha Company Ltd. The session explored key themes around building a business in the FemTech space, as well as the personal habits and mindset required to thrive as an entrepreneur.
Hear from our student Khin Hein, BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship as she reflects on her experience. She shares key insights from Natnicha’s session, including the importance of mental wellbeing, daily routines, and how small habits such as mindfulness can support clearer decision-making and resilience in entrepreneurship.
I attended a session with Natnicha, founder of Nicha Company Ltd on entrepreneurship and innovation and here are five key insights that I learned from Natnicha’s talk:
Small daily habits can strengthen clarity and resilience
Natnicha explained that she starts her morning with three minutes of meditation, which helps her enter the day with a calm and clear mindset. Hearing this made me reflect on how small habits can make a big difference in our ability to make decisions and handle pressure. It reminded me that entrepreneurship isn’t only about business skills: mental wellbeing and routine are equally important. Even a few minutes of quiet focus can help us reset and prepare for the challenges ahead.
Applying theoretical learning to practice
Natnicha highlighted how theories, such as Porter’s Five Forces and Blue Ocean strategy, shaped her decisions. Her examples of putting theory into action made the concepts easier to understand and more relevant to real business challenges; theory is more meaningful when we see it applied. This experience reinforced the value of connecting what we learn in class with real-world practice.
Interactive workshops help us understand real business decisions
This session was interactive. Natnicha presented real challenges from her business and guided us through analyzing them. We compared different scenarios, looked at the choices she made, and discussed why those decisions mattered. From this, I realised how valuable it is when guest speakers allow us to engage with real examples. This session has helped me think more critically. I now encourage my fellow students to attend similar sessions advertised on the Employability and Enterprise Hub and develop and practice their own skills.
FemTech is a new and growing field supporting women’s health
I learned that FemTech (meaning female health technology) includes products and educational platforms that help improve women’s health and wellbeing. It was fascinating to hear how her work supports migrant women to access health information and trusted wellness products. I had not realised how quickly FemTech is growing and how important it is in addressing health gaps for women worldwide. This helped me recognise that innovation and entrepreneurship can also have a social impact.
An entrepreneurial mindset starts with learning from challenges and using your strengths
One of the most inspiring things Natnicha shared was her belief that businesses can arise from everyday problems: “Start with your own community – if you can solve something there, you already have a business.” This changed the way I think about generating ideas and identifying meaningful opportunities. She approaches setbacks by asking herself: “What can I learn from this experience?” Which further helps turn challenges into growth. I was also encouraged to recognise my own personal strengths, such as public speaking skills and use them confidently to create a unique advantage; communicating effectively creates authenticity, staying true to ourselves builds trust and attracts the right opportunities.
