The M.Com department organized a guest lecture in Entrepreneurship Development for the students of the M.Com Part I & II on 22nd January, 2019 at 11.00 a.m. The resource person for the session was Mr. D. S. Prashant, CEO, Forum for Innovation, Incubation, Research and Entrepreneurship. 46 students and 3 faculty members attended the session.
Mr. Prashant, who is currently pursuing his Ph.D. through Goa University, has worked extensively in the field of entrepreneurship and has worked closely with Venture Capital firms, angel investors, start-ups and students with new business and product ideas.
Owing to his extensive knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship and new venture creation, he was able to approach the department’s syllabus of the subject in a new light. Taking the students through the history and different distinctive periods of business and enterprise development, as well as presenting new models and updated knowledge on business plan construction and raising of finance, he was able to enlighten the students on entrepreneurship in a different, modern and practical light. The liberal use of interesting and accurate analogies, charts and videos helped imprint this new knowledge on the students’ minds, within the brief session.
The speaker urged students not to discard business projects or entrepreneurial ideas, but to pursue them in the competitive yet growing market in India.
