ISB's "Start Up First" to help aspiring entrepreneurs

ISB’s (Indian School of Business) Wadhwani Center for Enterpreneurial Development is putting their efforts on an initiative known as “Start Up First”. This initiative aims at helping the aspiring entrepreneurs to take up entrepreneurship roles and experience it.

It took over one year for the idea to get conceptualized after discussions with ISB students, external entrepreneurial community and alumni entrepreneurs. The initiative will also help start-up entrepreneurs to employ the suitable talent who can contribute in the growth of the venture.

The objective of the “Start Up First” is to promote entrepreneurship among people of all sectors in and outside ISB. It will help students to know finer points of start-up ventures, understand the overall entrepreneurial ecosystem in depth and prepare entrepreneurs to gain operational management skills in a better way.

The initiative will enable institute to play a key role in fostering the growth of new and upcoming businesses and promote and grow entrepreneurial aspirations of the students.

Over 200 ISB alumni have become entrepreneurs in past 11 years and are now running their ventures successfully. Previously, ISB’s Entrepreneurship Development Imitative had played a key role in nurturing and guiding some successful start-ups.
