Entrepreneurship Center (EIC)
About Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre
EIC was formed on August 2nd, 2013, by the students and student secretaries of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre of Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be University). EIC symbolises a person who positively inspires and influences others. The EIC motivates, encourages and spreads the knowledge and skills that an individual needs to acquire to be an ENTREPRENEUR and help society in order to make it a better place than yesterday. We aim to create awareness among the students about various avenues of ENTREPRENEURSHIP and various aspects related to it, such as financial aspects, marketing aspects and technical aspects.
The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre was established on 2nd August 2013, with the mission of encouraging students to acquire the knowledge and skills to be successful entrepreneurs. Keeping the fact of growing competition in mind, in the present era, entrepreneurship is inseparable from innovation. Motivated by this vision, the Entrepreneurship Development Cell was renamed as Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre, and a passionate group of people are working to persuade an entrepreneurial attitude in the students and to imbibe an innovative spark in them.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre is a member of Wadhwani Foundation’s NEN, which is a vibrant entrepreneurship network enabling access to mentors, investors and tools for growth of the EIC members.
