Every entrepreneur needs to start somewhere. And it helps if, at the time of starting up, one has access to scintillating minds in the industry who have the right ideas and a clear strategy to source capital. This is the environment that FMS Delhi (Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi University) plans to create at its E-Summit, to be held on February 17 and 18.
It will be a confluence of entrepreneurial minds, from the shrewd novice to the savvy veteran, and spanning the corporate, academic and government sectors. Over two days, the Summit hopes to provide a platform for young entrepreneurs to break out of the stultifying conformity of a profession and venture on to the entrepreneurial path.
Prizes, investments
The E-Summit will cater to all kinds of ideas, with events such as International Entrepreneurship Challenge, Responsible Entrepreneur and Frugal Start-up. Apart from the ideas, there will be a panel discussion on ‘Entrepreneurship and Nation Building’ with inputs from a diverse set of individuals who have walked the talk.
The Founder Talk series will provide a great opportunity for young entrepreneurs to learn from the stalwarts in industry about what it takes to make it big in sectors dominated by established names and faces. If any further incentive is required, there are cash prizes worth ₹20 lakh and investment opportunities worth ₹10 crore to be tapped.
Thought leadership
FMS Delhi regularly features among India’s Top Five B-Schools every year. The Faculty of Management Studies focuses on management education rather than just business management. The commitment is to thought leadership with a deep understanding of business.
Its approach to pedagogy combines fieldwork, case studies and feedback, with a strong emphasis on concepts and theory. The intent is to encourage intellectual curiosity and open young minds to the adventure of ideas.
