I just returned from IIM-A after talking to students on ” Is a Startup right for them” and “Investors & Business Plans”. Beerud , CTO of Webaroo and earlier founder of e-Lance was also there and spoke on ” Start up: What it takes”.
IIM – A is thinking of having a business plan competition with a difference where few shortlisted firms would present to a panel of seed stage investors and try and close a seed round. Sounds like a good idea. Let them know what you think. The organizers of the “Entre” club read venturewoods.
Reflecting as I returned ( lot of time to reflect as my flight was delayed) I felt that the time may be right for IIM – A and other management institutes to do a one year entrepreneurship course which gives a certification like an MBA. A large component would be getting your business of the ground. Comments ?

Please say Is placement is available for IIMC-EPYP Program???
Guys,
Al entrepreneurs are not born they are made by some agitation and they are dare to face the reality of their future generation. IIM’s should have this kind of programmes and offerings to motive the upcoming entrepreneurs in the field.
IIM’s should identify the VC Investors and explicit among the IIM cians.
My two Paise, is that a business plan should not be required as a go/nogo factor in perusing the venture (i.e. the entrepreneur’s gut feeling should be good enough). Meaning, you should not need a business plan to help you decide if it is a good idea or not. HOWEVER, it *is* required as a planning document (even if just your yourself).
Guys,
I need some info about the EPYP programme from IIMC. Can any of you give me any kinda feedback about the programme.
I know it doesn’t compare with the full time MBA at all, but is it useful for climbing the corporate ladder?
Would appreciate if you could drop me a mail at ssbubber@gmail.com.
Thanks,
