Entrepreneurship Cell at IIM Calcutta
The Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) at IIM Calcutta seeks to foster the spirit of Entrepreneurship amongst the wannabe entrepreneurs by exposing them to the joys and challenges of having their own ventures. To this end we focus on working on all that we feel that a wannabe entrepreneur would need; in terms of knowledge, skills and exposure by bringing together the people with the ideas, the people with the experience and those with the resources.The E-Cell is strongly backed by its Patron organization like TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) and NEN (The National Entrepreneurship Network), who work towards fostering entrepreneurship globally through mentoring, networking, and education and to inspire, educate and support the next generation of high-growth entrepreneurs in India.Renowned for its B-plan contest i2I, the new slew of events that the Entrepreneurship Cell has done this year has been met with unprecedented success – a reflection of the fact that Entrepreneurship as a career is spreading rapidly in Indian B-Schools.
We at E-Cell have always believed that there needs to be a one stop shop for all informational needs with regards to start up activities, funding, mentoring etc and this website is an endavour in precisely that direction. Of course how much we succeed would depend upon your feedback and participation in making this site what its meant to be. We would encourage visitors to use the forums as a platform to have their ideas heard, debated and perfected. Also check out our page www.ecelliimcal.in/Useful_Info for news, views and latest activity from the world of entrepreneurship. Have a great time!
