Members of Jaipuria Indore\u2019s E-Cell, better known as the E-Spark Club, went over to the Acropolis Institute of Technology for a session with the National Entrepreneurship Network, popularly known as NEN. The workshop on \u2018E-Leaders\u2019 had a total of 74 participants from across the Indore region.<\/p>\n
6 members of the E-Spark club represented Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore, at this E-Leaders workshop. Ms. Vishnu Priya, Senior Manager NEN, was the resource person for the two days of workshop, along with Ms. Marlina Ramachandran, Regional Coordinator NEN.<\/p>\n
Day One of the workshop began with ice-breaking activities, which helped students from various colleges familiarise themselves with one another. This was followed by a session with Ms. Vishnu Priya where the agenda of the workshop was set. She briefed the group about the ecosystem in which NEN works, and the role of an E-cell. She also laid out various functions like regularising programmes, maintaining leaders\u2019 lists, campus activities, inviting local entrepreneurs to campus events, etc., which E-cells should carry out. She followed all this up with some thoughts on the process of institutionalising the E- Cell.<\/p>\n
After the tea break, E-cells from various colleges made their DNA Pitch Reports. The E-Spark club of Jaipuria made its presentation on their Social Entrepreneurship initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was interesting to note how mature E-cells worked,\u201d remarked Gaurav Kumar, one of the Jaipuria Indore students at this workshop. \u201cWe learnt a lot by observing how other E-cells make the most of available NEN Resources to nurture and groom entrepreneurial talent on their campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post-lunch session was about challenges faced by various E-cells, and how they were addressed. There were discussions around \u2018campus companies\u2019. The E-Cell of the IPS Academy, in fact, distributed one of their products amongst all the participants \u2013 a unique notepad made out of recycled paper from waste in their college. Towards the end of Day 1, the NEN trainers distributed a case study from Harvard Business Review on Level-5 Leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cDay 2 began with a recap of day 1\u201d, recollects Priyanka Sharma, one of the participants from Jaipuria Indore. \u201cIt was followed by a discussion on \u2018Fortune 500\u2019 companies and listing of the 11 best companies amongst them. It was pointed out that the common factor in these 11 was that level 5 leaders held critical positions in them. This flowed into the discussion on level 5 leaders and their two traits \u2013 humility and professional will.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having addressed the Harvard Business Review case study, the NEN workshop then focused on basic qualities of E-cell leaders. A very entertaining \u2018jigsaw puzzle\u2019 method was then employed by the NEN team to bring out the need of teamwork and communication in E-cells.<\/p>\n
Gaurav Mishra, one of the E-Leaders present, discussed the essentials of event management. The day ended with videos on entrepreneurs negotiating with venture capitalists on their products.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was fantastic to note that as leaders of Entrepreneurship Cells on campus, NEN E Leaders drive a wide, critical range of tasks and activities; from motivating and engaging student members, to conducting mega events and programmes to help connect their E Cell members to the right resources in the community,\u201d concluded Abhishek Pratap Singh, one of the representatives of the E-cell of Jaipuria Indore. \u201cThe workshop made us hungrier to learn and build rather than passively receive education. We were able to see a lot of scope to experiment with entrepreneurship in the Jaipuria Indore campus itself!\u201d<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, the 2-day NEN workshop brought back the spark in Jaipuria Indore\u2019s E-spark Club!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
