Welcome
to the world of Entrepreneurship! A new tribe of MBA
- Entrepreneurs is emerging on MBA B-school campuses
in India, who undergo the best management training,
and leverage it to pursue their dreams. For instance,
according to MBAUniverse.com Placement Report 2008,
many graduates from all the top-20 B-MBA schools have
opted to take the road less traveled. Interestingly,
B-MBA schools are supporting and promoting this trend
wholeheartedly. Let's take a few cases to highlight
this growing trend. At the bell-weather campus of
IIM in Ahmedabad, eleven students opted out from the
placements to turn entrepreneurs. These graduates
have plans to get into diverse sectors like logistics,
advertising, manufacturing, agro-processing, finance
and IT. At IIM Lucknow, six graduates opted out placements.
FMS student Neha Juneja declined a plum offer from
the coveted Tata Administrative Services (TAS) to
form her own venture called Aisapaisa.com. At IIM
Indore, two students chose to pursue their dreams.
Their website ourownbook.com provides visitors a chance
to participate in a collaborative book writing project.
Looks like B-MBA school campuses in India are turning
into hot beds of entrepreneurial energy, and big dreams.
Are you dreaming of being an entrepreneur too! To
spread more awareness and provide useful resources,
India's leading management MBA portal MBAUniverse.com
is launching a new channel on Entrepreneurship. This
channel will be aimed at B-MBA school students and
young executives who wish to take the road less traveled.
MBAUniverse.com will partner experts and institutions
to present tools, guides, faqs and success-stories
on Entrepreneurship. To kick-off this initiative,
we have tied-up with National Entrepreneurship Network
(NEN). NEN is a not-for-profit initiative of the Wadhwani
Foundation working to inspire, educate and support
the younger generation of entrepreneurs. The organization
was co-founded in 2002 by leading Indian MBA institutes
in India, including IIT Bombay, IIM-Ahmedabad, BITS
Pilani, SP Jain and IBAB. Read on, and get ready for
the topsy-turvy, but very rewarding world, of entrepreneurship!
