Creating founders on campus
The Entrepreneurship Cell of PSGIM has, since 2019, helped students take an idea from a classroom conversation to a working venture — through speaker sessions, build weekends, mentorship and the National Entrepreneurship Challenge.
Ideas, tested early — and taken seriously.
PSGIM E-Cell helps students through workshops, speaker sessions, a build-weekend format and an annual idea competition — a small crucible for innovation, run entirely by students.
We provide guidance from experienced mentors, routes to a first customer, and a network of alumni founders and partner E-Cells.
The story
PSGIM E-Cell started in 2019 as a handful of students who wanted the same thing the older IITs and NITs had — a room where you could bring a half-formed idea and leave with a next step.
Seven years on, the Cell runs a repeating calendar of speaker sessions, build weekends and an annual Ideathon, and it represents PSGIM in the National Entrepreneurship Challenge run by E-Cell, IIT Bombay.
This year the team is building its first proper website and a serious social-media presence.
What we’re for
To make entrepreneurship a natural career choice for every PSGIM student, and to build a campus where ideas are tested, mentored and taken to market.
- Run speaker sessions, workshops and competitions every term, open to all departments.
- Pair every serious idea with a mentor and a route to a first customer.
- Turn up for NEC and other national challenges with real activity to show.
- Publish what happened — numbers, photos, outcomes — after every event.
