Start-Up Readiness, Growth and Execution (SURGE): An Entrepreneurship Programme
India has seen a surge of entrepreneurial ventures and start-ups over the last decade. The opportunities that present themselves in technology, technology-enabled services, and in traditional businesses is enormous for the growing economy that is India. The Indian Government has understood this reality and given precedence to the start-up ecosystem by creating a platform called Startup India. India’s talented and educated youth have taken to this opportunity to create new ventures and organizations to ride the wave of success in the new growing India.
Success in an entrepreneurial venture is dependent on many factors – the business idea, understanding and tackling the regulatory environment, processes and procedures, and building and managing one’s organization through the heady, but tough, early phase of any organization. This programme has been designed keeping in mind these complexities of an entrepreneurial journey. The programme will be an entrepreneurship toolkit programme as a nine-month programme culminating in a campus visit where participants submit their business plans and the best of them will be reviewed by a panel of judges including at least one venture capitalist.
