PUNE:: Global
Indian International School (GIIS), an international schools in India and
abroad, recently organized ‘Entrepreneurship Bootcamp’ for its 30 students in
one of its India campus.
After successfully implementing around four bootcamps in its
Singapore campus, this was conducted in India with a vision to make students
adept to new age learning methodologies and equip them with a global edge. Such
bootcamps are part of the initiatives taken by GIIS's Global Centre for
Innovation and Entrepreneurship (GCIE) which aims to promote innovation,
creativity and entrepreneurial skills in the students.
It is a journey from ideation stage to the creation of a
company which includes tactical guidance, team selection, business modeling and
pitching of ideas with confidence to real investors. The professors from INSEAD
and Ivey Business School made the entire session of idea generation and
pitching very seamless for the students.
Commenting on the initiative, Rajeev Katyal, Deputy Chief
Operating Officer, Global Schools Foundation and Country Director India and
Japan said, “Education should aim at nurturing individuals so that they
are best equipped to face the challenges in life. The attitude of an innovator
or the first-mover comes from the ability to think out-of-the-box which
requires design thinking, problem solving and collaborating. Understanding the
need to provide students with a platform to experiment explore and execute
their ideas into action, is therefore the primary responsibility of an
educational institution.”
Commenting on this, one of the parents said, “Such an exposure on entrepreneurship at a young age, by some of the best mentors who train the MBA graduates, is a wonderful platform for our students. We were surprised to see the students, who participated, present their ideas with such clarity and confidence. The students show such faith in oneself that they can easily convince investors to fund their ideas.”
