Why Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is the foundation of innovation, job creation, and wealth generation. It goes beyond benefitting the economy and results in greater social and community development. Particularly in India, where a sizable youth population is willing to take a plunge, invest in unconventional routes, and seek solutions to problems, there lays unique opportunities to educate and mentor them on the merits of entrepreneurial pursuits.

The outcome is assured economic growth, the emergence of new industries, enhanced productivity, and a more sustainable society. Thus, entrepreneurship has given rise to a new breed of unique knowledge population that banks on innovation, a phenomenon that was not present until recently.
