IIT Delhi launches course for aspiring entrepreneurs: report

IIT Delhi has started a new course aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs called Startup BaseCamp, according to a report in The Economic Times.

The decision to start a course for entrepreneurs came into being after it was felt that entrepreneurs should be equipped with basic knowledge that will aid them in facing hurdles.

“Many entrepreneurs have failed due to a lack of basic understanding of, or preparedness for, the area of entrepreneurship. IIT Delhi is naturally inclined to bring the critical and preparatory learning for entrepreneurs especially in the initial and transitional stages of their venture,” Harsh Mishra, lead faculty (Innovation & Entrepreneurship Centre of Excellence) at the Department of Management Studies was quoted as saying in the report.

The move is significant as the institute has been a home to some of the popular entrepreneurs in the country including those behind popular startups such as Zomato, Flipkart and Snapdeal.
