ENTREPRENEURSHIP CELL
Since our very beginning, Jai Hind College (Autonomous) has been an active advocate in championing the desideratum of an entrepreneurial ecosystem set-up in our society. In a bid to frame and embed such an apparatus within the confines of our own institute, the Entrepreneurship Cell and Skill Hub was thus founded. The Entrepreneurship Cell and Skill Hub was digitally inaugurated by our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.
​
The E-Cell and Skill Hub operates with an arrant focus on achieving our primary objective: Transforming job-seekers into the job-makers of tomorrow through consistent re-skilling and empirical learning opportunities, providing steadfast impetus to the growth of the currently staggering start-up economy, and thereby assist in flourishing the economy of our nation.
​
Our vision is crafting and dispensing the right platforms with requisite essentials to allow budding entrepreneurs to convert their innovative, disruptive, ground-breaking ideas into the leading, pre-eminent businesses of the future.
SKILL HUB
Technology has changed the way we do everything. Things change at such a rapid pace that there's an ongoing need for students to consistently add new skills and technical knowledge to their repertoire.
​
With this mindset, the Skill Hub was added to the E-Cell in order to embed adapting, upskilling and reskilling in students so that they have the necessary skillsets for the jobs of tomorrow. This is done throughout the year via workshops and competitions ensuring continuous learning.
The Entrepreneurship Summit began in 2016 and went global in 2020, It was started with the objective of providing a platform for startups across the country, as well as to foster entrepreneurship among students. The past collaborations in the summit include Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Government of India), Rise Mumbai, Digital India, and more.
