Entrepreneurship Club, IIT Patna is organizing the second edition of the flagship event, Entrepreneur’s Week from 9th Match to 15th March, 2015. It is a week-long entrepreneurial festival with pitching session, social entrepreneurship, workshops, guest lectures and various business events.

The week kicked off with the prelims of the Online Business Quiz covering the general know-how of business terms and companies. The event progressed to its second day with a much awaited session on ‘Finance for Engineers’ by Mr. Vivek Bajaj, an IIM Indore alumnus, presently working with Kredent Academy. During the late night lecture, Mr. Bajaj enlightened the audience with the discussion on various avenues in financial market that a person from engineering background can get in.

Over the next four days, the E-Club is holding a few more late night guest lectures and competitions. However, the main attraction of the week is the Patna Chapter of ‘Uncovention|L’, imitative by Villgro Foundation. At the Unconvention|L Pitch on 14th March, 2015, budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their idea for a for-profit business with social impact, to a panel of experts comprising Villgro mentors, successful social entrepreneurs, social incubators and seed investors.

Entrepreneurship Club, IIT Patna dream of exploring into the unmatched and yet untapped potential present inside all of us, where a single spark could convert a mere thought into an idea. But to convert an abstract idea into something tangible like a working business model and a successful start-up, we need a lot of intervening steps. This is precisely the reason why we are organizing the Entrepreneur’s Week and the various event of its kind.
