Students from leading internatio­nal and government schools are welcome and agreed to attend this seminar and get a one-ofa-kind experience.

In today’s competitiv­e environmen­t many companies are looking beyond the traditiona­l Business graduate to take their companies, products and services and to exceed revenue and profit expectatio­ns. It’s not a surprise that many world’s leading companies want their graduates to think creatively, solve problems and to contribute towards bottom-lines. In short they are looking for entreprene­urial talent among their new hires. Traditiona­lly entreprene­urship was known as the “process of starting a business, a startup company or other organizati­on through innovative or creative ideas”. This definition has broaden today to include some of the top careers such as CEO ( Chief Executive Officer), CFO (Chief Finance Officer), CMO ( Chief Marketing Officer), and Project and product specialist­s among many other positions where companies are looking for entreprene­urship talent. It’s true that a degree is not a must to become an entreprene­ur and many people have launched successful businesses without a formal education. However, degree programs in entreprene­urship can help students learn more about accounting, ethics, economics, finance, marketing, management, and other business topics. In short degree programmes in entreprene­urship can shorten to learning curve towards success.
