From students to versatile entrepreneurs - iFEEL Lonavala churning out fresh new talents

A sound business ecosystem of a nation can potentially drive the overall economic growth which is why the government of India has been rolling out several initiatives in the recent times to boost start-ups and budding entrepreneurs. However, responsible for creating zealous entrepreneurs and laying the groundwork for entrepreneurship, B-schools also have a vital role to play because it is their curriculum and the education they have imparted that led to the creation of business magnates we have seen till now and are to see tomorrow.

In fact, top MBA and PGDM colleges in India did churn out some of the most proficient executives and managers in the corporates. They seek to inculcate students with an entrepreneurial mind-set right from the initial semesters. iFEEL Lonavala for instance provides students the right space to set up their own businesses. In case one decides to opt out of college placement, he/she is given a time of 18 months to experiment new ideas. If failed in this venture, the college placement opportunity is always open.

Furthermore, iFEEL also has E-cell that organises several events and even invite top businessmen from various industries to deliver guest lectures so students can learn from their rich experience. Enabling students to employ their business skills while strengthening their competitive spirit, the college also gives them the opportunity to compete with students from other top management institutes on various entrepreneurial skills. Another key feature of iFEEL’s E-cell is the cross domain workshops it conducts by associating with other leading B-schools and management  institutes(iFEEL’s Entrepreneurship Cell was recognized at the National Entrepreneurship Challenge 2015 and 2017 at IIT Bombay due to its entrepreneurship ecosystem in the campus). This not only helps students to expand their knowledge base, but also leverage the skills they have learnt while exchanging knowledge with others. Hence, the institute’s PGDM curriculum is a blend of both practical and theory. While regular lectures are being conducted, it also ensures that students get an in-depth understanding of real time business environment through several other ways.
