ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INTRAPRENEURSHIP

We at BIBS strongly believe that academic rigor cannot only create a business leader of tomorrow. Our differentiation in practice comes from ensuring that our students become 'Self Starters' – ability to sense opportunities, think on the feet, act with facts, lead and execute.

Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship Cell was thus designed for our students with a clear objective :

Nurturing students looking to start their own businesses either while studying on campus or after completion of their course, the Entrepreneurs

Employee who uses the approach of an entrepreneur within an organizational setting, the Intrapreneurs.

Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship Incubation Systems (EIIS)

The Institute lends its expertise, assistance and support for independent student ventures. To guide students on various entrepreneurial ventures is the EIIS.

Thought System Enhancement

As a part of this we create a culture of developing an entrepreneurial/intrapreneural mindset in our students. It involves techniques which entail

Opening the mind to Creative Thinking

Identification of Opportunity Stratosphere

Brainstorming in collaborative groups

Business Networking

Adequate networking is essential for the success of any and every business and at Bengal Institute of Business Studies we ensure that the student develops the initiative for networking right from day one. We ensure that the student connects with:

Angel Investors

Project Consultants

Working for Start-ups

BIBS is actively associated with TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) and NEN (National Entrepreneurship Network). Our students are actively involved in national/international forums organized them.

Live Case Clinics

Students are facilitated with starting up their business while working on campus itself. We provide the necessary infrastructure, support systems and technological backbone to help the business take-off

Funding of New Ventures

The entrepreneurial journey is left incomplete if the business idea is deprived of funds to eventually start-up. We at BIBS ensure that our students who have bright ideas are put across to the right investors who not only fund the selected projects but also provide initial handholding. We work closely with venture capitalists such as Seeders, Utopia Advisors and Leverage Capital. BIBS has a One Crore Rupees fund dedicated to funding campus entrepreneurship projects.

Starting Up @ Campus

BIBS is actively associated with TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) and NEN (National Entrepreneurship Network). Our students are actively involved in national/international forums organized them.

Hands On Practical Experience

We believe that Entrepreneurial mind-set and relevant skills can be developed through intense practice. Keeping this in mind, we have evolved a unique concept, which entails application of the concepts students have learnt in class to real life situations. This is based on the tenet that learning can happen best when students are exposed to real life challenges.

This concept is operationalised when students are assigned to an entrepreneur to work along with him on real life situations, the students are expected to learn real life, hands on. The steps in this process are:

Study the business opportunities through transect surveys

Collaborate with a business enterprise in the community

Design and apply principles learnt through classroom interaction to the business

Draw realistic timelines

Deliver critical strategies that act as differentiators
