Ø     My Story – The Guest Lecture Series:

'My story' is an initiative taken by the E-Cell in order to give the budding managers of tomorrow - the students, a feel of what real life entrepreneurship is all about. This can be mainly done by way of case studies spanning over a wide range of industries. Under this initiative, we also plans to hold guest lectures by Industrialists and Venture Capitalists, so as to give the students hands on experience in entrepreneurship related issues.

• Case based: Live cases for better understanding of the intricacies in starting a venture

• Industry Wise: Aim to cover various industries so as to realize business opportunities across sectors

• By Industrialists and Venture Capitalist: People with hands on experience who can make students aware of various facets of entrepreneurship

• Audience: Open to every budding entrepreneur

Last year, Entrepreneurship Cell in association with TiE ( The Indus Entrepreneurs) hosted My Story session on Entrepreneurship, with Mr. Shekhar Dasgupta, Ex-MD Oracle India Pvt. Ltd. who was ably supported by Mr. Manoj Tandon of CSC Ltd. The session started with the theme “Small is Beautiful” igniting the Entrepreneurial spark in the audience, comprising both FMS students and real time entrepreneurs. “Small is Beautiful” is as descriptive of FMS as it is of CII, Infosys, Dell, Microsoft, Linux etc., companies that were chosen to exemplify the Micro wave. Needless to say, the audience was all ears, as the lessons that were learnt could be used for some hands-on campus work-experience.

Ø Startup @ FMS - The E-Cell Magazine

Startup @ FMS is the bimonthly magazine to be initiated by Entrepreneurship Cell. Still in the conception stage this magazine is supposed to have the following sections:

• Legal section: To deal with particular procedure and laws that one should know before starting an enterprise.

• Interviews: Interviews with people who have started up on their own

• Case studies: Sector wise case study to make people aware

Presently, E-Cell publishes its own brochure as an information capsule about the Entrepreneurship Cell activities throughout the year and what lies ahead in the subsequent years.

Ø Fraternity @ E-Cell – The E-Cell Community

This is an initiative by the Entrepreneurship cell to keep everyone associated with any Entrepreneurship cell activity at any stage, to be a part of the E-Cell community. The fraternity presently comprises of E-Cell Board of Directors for year 2005, the Mentors and the Professors for NEC 2005, the finalists of NEC 2005 and the junior and senior members of the E-Cell during year 2005.

This is a step towards setting up a corporate and academic network that can be leveraged towards achieving E-Cell’s Vision as and when required.
