So the first person to get invited was ofcourse, our director Dr. Snegupta.
Dr Sengupta’s speech: Sir’s speech was quite motivating. He himself is a true entrepreneur taking SIESCOMS to new hieghts. Entrepreneurship can be in any field can be really demonstrated by sir. And he truly believes in entrepreneurship. He has this vision of “not bieng emplotyed but employing people“.
He gave all sorts of logic as to why a entrepreneur plays a very important role in bringing a country ahead. Then he told how technology helps to bring the whole innovation into its place. He made a very important point of which I myself had a misconception. He told that its not that technology facilitates an idea to become a success. But its the idea that takes the advantage of the technology. For this he gave an analogy of Silicon Valley. He explained how entrepreneurs created Silicon Valley and not the Technology created it.
The next person to speak was Sunita Singh:
Sunita Singh’s Speech : She basically had a brainstorming session. She took inputs from the audience of what can be the possible problems. She basically took from us the main definition on entrepreneurship. Then she briefed us about Wadhwani Foundation. The guys who are behind NEN and who are funding various upcoming entrepreneurs around the world. NEN stands for National Entrepreneurs Network. It is a network of entrepreneurs as the name suggests. They educate people on entreprenurship. How to go about forming an idea? Hoe to make aproposal etc…

Then came our very own Subramanium Sir :
Subramanium’s Speech : Sir himself is quite youthfull on this whole project or club. He terms himself as the mentor for the club. He is always in a tie, which is not dress code by the college. But on this day he uncovered the reason behind it. He says that he is surrounded by the future entrepreneurs of the country and hence he feels that he should always be in up to date formals.
He gave us a simple example of the paper cutter. How innovative is the idea of having a slit in the cutter so that we can cut out the used part of the blade. Which makes a blade from a blade. With such example he motivated us that an idea is never small or stupid, b ut we have to believe in it and follow our instincts to make it a grand success
Well one thing i personally felt is entrepreneur quality can not only be used for our own business or starting one, but it can also be utilized in an organization for which we work.
Also there is a myth that entrepreneurship acumen cannot be cultivated, but rather it can be taught.
