Entrepreneurship-Cell

1. What is entrepreneurship-cell?
Entrepreneurship cell is a non-profit student's organization dedicated to promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship among students throughout India. The basic aim of E-Cell is to encourage college-level students today to start their own enterprise. Hundreds of rural as well as urban colleges have established e-cells. Moreover over 70,000 students participate in organizing e-cell activities in India. Some noteworthy examples are – IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, Bits Pillani, VJTI, SPIT, etc.

2. Why e-cell in SPCE?

• Movements like MAKE IN INDIA and START-UP INDIA encourages technical as well as non-technical start-ups to come up in India so that more employment is created and India becomes self-sufficient. Entrepreneurship friendly environment is being created in India by easing various norms for doing business both in rural as well as urban areas.

• Various organizations like NEN (NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP NETWORK) and SINE (SOCIETY OF INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP) facilitate aspiring entrepreneurs by giving them guidelines. NEN connects with e-cell from various colleges to spread entrepreneurship spirit and enlighten students about entrepreneurship.

• We believe that SPCE has quality students with novel ideas for technical as well as non-technical start-ups. Unfortunately we have no e-cell to nurture and foster them. We have a business friendly environment along with various supporting organizations. It would be wasteful if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity and establish an e-cell in SPCE.

• NEN is ready to tie-up with our college. We are also in the process of registering with them and receiving the guidelines for various activities to conduct.

• Our survey report conducted on the students of SPCE clearly shows that more than 90% students want an e-cell in SPCE. Around 50 % students even have a business idea.

• An e-cell will help us in creating leaders of the future and contribute to our country effectively.

3. Vision-
E-cell SPCE , a non-profit organization , aims to bring together the entrepreneurial passions to converge on a common platform. Our aim is to bring  forth the entrepreneur dwelling within so many of us.
To accomplish the goal of serving as an efficacious platform for networking and interaction, E-Cell SPCE will  be organising a host of events.

E Cell SPCE will bring  to you a series of events and hopes to receive a delectable response.

4. Goals-

•  For the first 1 years establishing start-up culture in SPCE and carrying out various events.

• For the next 3 years hopefully we can have a few credible ideas of start-ups along with a proper plan coming up. We can organize funding sessions for these ideas.

5. How e-cell is beneficial to SPCE and its students?

• Students get better idea of how business is conducted in real life. They get an exposure to live problems and how to go about solving them. E-cell not only helps students who want to be entrepreneurs but also other students as life lessons of the real world are taught through e-cell.

• Unplaced final year students can reap the benefits as well. These students can acquire various skills along with proper understanding of entrepreneurship and can start something of their own.

• Various technical inventions and research business ideas could be funded once e-cell starts running in full fledge. This would be a major boost for SPCE as it would enhance its reputation.

• Live examples in the form of entrepreneur speakers will inspire students to fulfill their dream.

• This will help SPCE to become an organization where free flow of ideas takes place along with academic excellence. SPCE will truly become a symbol of freedom and excellence. SPCE can also become the alma mater of various entrepreneurs.

• By participating in E-week (a week which is declared as an e-week in all over India and students from various colleges participate in it), our students with their innovative ideas can win awards and increase the reputation of our college.

• Students of SPCE can make use of platform provided by TATA and NEN – “TATA first dot” which could help them get funds for their start-ups and a lot of experience of real world and increase the number of start-ups emerging from SPCE thus increasing its reputation.
