Business strategy
Mudalali Founder Journey
Learn to be an entrepreneur by doing it.
About the game
Mudalali is a business strategy game that teaches entrepreneurship by letting you do it. Pick a business, from a kottu stall, café or homestay to a clothing brand, app or agri-tour, and take it through the real founder journey.
Find a real problem, talk to customers, set your price and break-even, choose a location, raise money, launch, survive the first six months, build a team and decide how to grow. A mentor explains each stage, and your decisions change how the story ends.
