The XSeed, the idea and initiative cell of the XIMB, organised “Kickstart-Entrepreneurship Awareness Drive 2016” on Sunday at its premises.
The drive aimed to raise awareness on entrepreneurship amongst the students of the XIMB and the XUB.
The speakers for the occasion were Corporate Gurukul MD Rajesh Panda, Dream Wallets Co-founder Manish Harodia and Socrates Foundation for Enhanced living in India Co-founder Ankur Mathur and Odisha Small Industries Corporation ltd MD Dr Partha Sarathi Mishra were preset as the guests on the occasion.
Rajesh Panda spoke about the entitlement mindset of B-school students who feel it is the responsibility of their college to make sure they get jobs. He warned the students that entrepreneurship is not for everyone but once they set their mind to something they should do it.
“When you think of a business plan, think globally. You are heading the world”, he advised.
Ankur Mathur said, “Entrepreneurs are not risk seekers, they are risk mitigators.” Manish Harodia motivated students by telling them that they will not learn unless they fail.
Dr Partha Sarathi Mishra encouraged the aspiring entrepreneurs of the State and spoke about the ‘Odisha Youth Innovation Fund’, a scheme started to motivate and encourage young minds for innovative ideas and entrepreneurship.
