Activities

The primary activities of CEID are -

1. Awareness and Exposure

To create awareness about entrepreneurship and conduct activities aimed at entrepreneurship development. Facilitate idea generation and impart knowledge in business plan development and implementation to the aspiring entrepreneurs, by way of interaction with those successful and with expertise. This is achieved by means of:

▪ Periodically organising workshops, seminars and talks by entrepreneurs and people from diverse backgrounds.

▪ Facilitating visits to various research and design institutes across the country to enable students to obtain ideas for new business ventures.

▪ Arranging for part-time assistance, short-term and long-term internships (BTPs, etc) with entrepreneurial ventures. With this we attempt to give the students a first-hand exposure to the challenges faced by entrepreneurs through real-world projects with startups. This provides for a hands-on learning experience for them. This is an effort to not only add value to the students, but also benefit the startups by providing them the much needed technical assistance from the students of a premier ICT institute in the country.

2. Pre-incubation

To provide mentorship for converting Ideas to Business Plans to Startups. Function as a guide for students with creative ideas which can be transformed into successful companies. This involves:

▪ Offering assistance in writing a business plan to prospective entrepreneurs.

▪ Networking with other entrepreneurial clubs. CEID has collaborations with entrepreneurship communities like NEN and CIIE. We intend to use these platforms to network with entrepreneurs. The aim is to gain insights through their experiences and also to explore opportunities for professional interactions for the students.

▪ Arranging interactions between students, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and others from the corporate world.

3. Student Business Incubator/Student Incubator Program
