Entrepreneurship Club

“An entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity”

– Peter F Drucker

Opportunity is what an entrepreneur looks for, in times of adversity, these opportunities when channeled into sustainable pursuits result in organizations that epitomize change while creating value for the individual, group, and society as a whole. The Entrepreneurship club in ISBR Business school began with this noble intent of nurturing changemakers, to be able to transform them into champions of change, and to bring to life some real-life ventures from among the students.

To achieve these objectives, various activities were conducted by the club in the previous trimester, which included lessons on entrepreneurship by the teacher-in-charge, Dr. Raghavi Bhujang. These lessons explored the basics of what entrepreneurship entails, how ideas are to be explored and converted into sustainable pursuits.

Various sessions were dedicated to innovative learning by watching Shark Tank, an American business reality television series on ABC. The show portrays entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of five investors or “sharks,” who decide whether or not to invest in their company. Episodes from this series were screened for the budding entrepreneurs to expose them to how business pitches were made in real life. The sessions were followed by interesting discussions that looked at various ways of exploring the business models which were presented on the show and attempts were made by students at coming up with better business models.

Further, two guest sessions were organized, to showcase the real-life experiences of entrepreneurs. Students graced these sessions with great enthusiasm, and they also had their questions answered by the guest speakers. 

The journey of the entrepreneurship club as of now has been short, but fruitful and promises to help, train, and bring out the entrepreneurs to solve problems of the world and act as catalysts of change.
