n our connected world, an entrepreneur's path extends beyond national boundaries. Students now pursue international education to gain knowledge, connections, and skills to the ideas in action. Zambian students at Sharda University stand out. Many are turning what they learn into real businesses while they are still in school.

The increasing involvement of Zambian students in both entrepreneurship and public health is encouraging, especially since public health is important for Zambia's progress. These young people are using what they learn in India to come up with answers to Zambia's problems in public health, from mobile clinics to platforms for health data

This blog looks at how Sharda University helps Zambian students start businesses, the chances for new businesses to grow, and how the rising interest in public health in Zambia shapes business plans that want to help society.

Zambia's young people are a generation of builders.

Zambia's population is young and active. More than 60% of people are under 25, so it is not surprising that innovation and entrepreneurship are vital to Zambian students. At the same time, serious problems like difficulty getting to health services, data issues, and clinics that don't have enough funds have started people thinking about answers that will last and can grow.

As a result, more young people are getting involved in businesses that help society, especially in education, farming, and public health. Students from Zambia are doing something to bring change. Sharda University gives them the skills, guidance, and international stages they need.

Why Sharda University Is a Center for International Entrepreneurs

Sharda University, near India's capital, takes in students from over 95 countries. Its focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, and working with other countries sets it apart from other universities.

Zambian students at Sharda can use:

  • Centers that help new businesses by giving them advice, money, and legal help.
  • Startup events and competitions planned with businesses and the government.
  • Teachers from areas like public health, information technology, business, and science.
  • A diverse student community that encourages sharing ideas and solving problems together.

This setup makes it possible for young Zambian business people to test their ideas, create models, and try to get money from financiers—all while they are finishing their studies.

Public Health Zambia: Something That Starts Student Innovation

Among Zambian students at Sharda, one trend stands out: the combination of entrepreneurship and public health. Many students are using their business ideas to solve health problems, seeing the gaps in Zambia's health system, like hard to reach health care in the countryside, a lack of current health data, and problems with preventive care.

Students are thinking about ideas like:

  • Apps that connect patients in rural areas with health experts in cities.
  • Platforms for health data that help community clinics keep track of the spread of diseases.
  • Telemedicine plans that families can pay for to get care for mothers and children.
  • Online campaigns to teach people about HIV/AIDS, nutrition, and mental health.

The focus on public health Zambia comes from students' own experiences. Many have seen how a lack of health care affects their families and communities. They want to make a difference back home, improving people's lives and business results.

Success Stories from Zambian Students

1. Lumba M., MSc Public Health

Lumba came to Sharda University for Public Health studies but left with more than just a degree. She started a digital health company named NkhaniCare that teaches teens in Zambia about reproductive health. She used the university's business help center and created an app that connects young individuals with counselors, doctors, and facts they can trust.

The service is being tested in Lusaka, and the team is talking to local groups about partnerships.

2. Joseph K., BBA in Entrepreneurship

Joseph went to Sharda to study international business models. In his last year, he worked with engineering students and created MedRide, an app for calling ambulances in rural areas. It connects remote Zambian towns with the nearest health transport. The idea won a student business competition and got money to build a working model.

At Sharda, entrepreneurship is connected to business studies. Other departments add innovation training, so students in health, engineering, IT, and management can find answers to problems together.

  • The BSc in Computer Science with a focus on AI or IoT lets students develop online tools for health technology.
