Entrepreneurship Cell
“It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.” – Scott Belsky
Entrepreneurship Cell was separated from Consulting Club in 2022 as part of our commitment to fostering innovation and supporting aspiring entrepreneurs.
E-Cell – The Entrepreneurship Cell of IIM Raipur is a student-run independent body, dedicated to foster the entrepreneurial mindset among students and providing them a platform with abundant learning opportunities and industry exposure in the field of entrepreneurship.
The Club intends to:
- Help in building a community of entrepreneurs on campus, which can provide students with a network of support and resources.
- Inspire and encourage budding entrepreneurs by facilitating interactive sessions with accomplished entrepreneurs and mentors.
- Provide learning opportunities through corporate events, summits, guest lectures, national-level competitions, engaging workshops, and networking opportunities.
