A talk on Entrepreneurship Development was organised for the students of TYB.Com D & F Y B Com D on 12th September 2017 in the Ramadas Mallya Memorial Smart classroom from 12.00 to 1.00pm. The resource person for the session was Mrs. Suchita Prabhu Malkarnekar, a very successful and dynamic entrepreneur in the business of readymade garments since the last 18 years. In the year 2015 she was elected as Councillor of Margao.
Mrs. Smita Marathe introduced the guest speaker. The Head of Department of Commerce Dr. Mrs. Lina Sadekar welcomed the guest speaker. Mrs. Prabhu Malkarnekar explained about her journey from being a clerical staff in a school to being successful entrepreneur. She stressed on the fact that practical knowledge of the business world is as important as theoretical knowledge. With poor educational background due to family problems, she learnt business & marketing strategies from her own experiences. She also highlighted the importance of advertising in business and the benefits of bulk purchasing.
She further added that by maintaining the quality of her products, she created a brand name for herself. She is proud of the fact that along with getting self employed, she has created employment opportunities for other women. She concluded with a word of advice for the students that, instead of being job seekers they should become job creators.
The session ended with the vote of thanks proposed by Ms. Manjushree. This session was attended by 45 students.
