Live webinar of IIMA Entre fair

Ahmedabad, 27 October 2012

IIM Ahmedabad is organizing Entrepreneurship fair Entre 2012 today. Here is the schedule of programs. And here is the live video webcast ( Webinar ) of the event.

Entre Fair has been organized by the Placement Committee of IIM Ahmedabad, in association with the Entrepreneurship Club of IIM Ahmedabad and the Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) with aim to provide a platform for B-school students to connect with promising startups and seek internship opportunities. Additionally, it provides startups valuable access to a wide talent pool of students. Further, the event seeks to kindle the entrepreneurial spirit in students and help them learn about the challenges involved in setting up new ventures.

Similar to the previous editions of the Entre Fair, each startup has set up a stall at the fair in order to interact with students. In this year’s edition, the organizers have introduced a webinar in order to facilitate the participation of students who will be unable to travel to the IIMA campus due to logistical or other constraints. Each of the participating startups will be making a 20 minute presentation through the day.

This year’s Entre Fair has attracted more than 15 startups in different stages of growth, from a wide range of sectors such as healthcare, e-commerce, consulting and education. Some of the startups participating in the fair are DialHealth, a startup by an alumnus of IIMA, which seeks to provide convenient and cost-effective healthcare products and services, and JustMonkeying, a novel children’s library in Ahmedabad. One of the startups participating in the Entre Fair, Avantari was a finalist in The Power of Ideas, India’s largest entrepreneurship development program.

The Entre Fair team will facilitate students’ applications for internships at the participating startups.
