<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

A graduate from Coventry University is in the running for a national entrepreneurial award. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dudley based product designer Sanjeev Dass, 22, who graduated from Coventry University last year, is one of six nominees in the Most Innovative Start-Up category in the Start Young Global Young Entrepreneurs Awards 2014<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Start Young Global is a worldwide network of young entrepreneurs, which provides guidance, advice and other resources to help new businesses and start-ups to develop and grow their brands.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sanjeev\u2019s nomination for one of their awards is a further boost for his recently established business Dass Design<\/span><\/a>. His company\u2019s very first commercial product, a handy home organiser called the key-pad, is currently shortlisted for the prestigious Shell LiveWire Grand Ideas Awards<\/span><\/a> for innovative young business people in the UK. The key-pad also made the home accessories shortlist for the Giftware Association\u2019s Gift of the Year 2014. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As a student Sanjeev always harboured ambitions of starting his own design company and during his final year he worked with Coventry University Enterprises Ltd <\/span><\/a>(the University\u2019s commercial subsidiary) to hone his business skills. He also took advantage of the \u2018SPEED Plus\u2019 enterprise support programme at the University\u2019s <\/span>Institute of Applied Entrepreneurship<\/span><\/a>. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sanjeev said: \u201cAs well as being a great place to study, Coventry University is a very positive environment for aspiring business people.\u00a0 I\u2019m really grateful for the support I received there when starting my entrepreneurial journey and if I emerge as one of the winners of the awards I\u2019ve been nominated for I\u2019m happy for the University to take some of the credit!\u201d <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The winners of the Start Young Global awards will be determined by a combination of public and competitions judges\u2019 votes. Public voting is now open until the end of March at www.startyoungglobal.com\/vote<\/span><\/a>. The winners will be presented with their awards at a ceremony in London in May this year. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Likewise, the Shell LiveWire award nominees are open to public votes and supporters of Sanjeev\u2019s key-pad product can register their vote at www.shell-livewire.org\/awards\/grand-ideas-awards\/<\/span><\/a> where they will also be able to view a 60 second video demonstration.
