Nachiket Mor has been a banker half his life. He's crafted new models to deliver financial services to villages. Yet, he is as comfortable talking about lipid-profile tests as liquid funds. Lately, though, he's been listening a lot, to doctor-patient conversations at Karambayam, a village of about 3,000 people in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur district. Karambayam is the site for one of the two healthcare clinics set up by Mor and his 30-member team to reconfigure primary-healthcare delivery in rural areas. It's far removed from his life four years ago, when he was tipped to succeed KV Kamath at ICICI Bank. On leaving the bank in 2007, he moved to the ICICI Foundation to work on rural development. In September 2010 he left the foundation to take charge of 'SughaVazhvu' (happy life in Tamil) for which Forbes India awarded him with the Crossover Leader Award this November.

The first generation entrepreneur is technically someone who does not come from a ‘business family’. But it is often as difficult - or even more difficult - to scale up and professionalise a family run business. It is a challenge thousands of second and third generation entrepreneurs are facing in India today.
In transforming a small business dealing in electrical installation into a multinational engineering company, Madan Mohanka faced all the hurdles and challenges of starting up from scratch. But then Madan had what you would call - ‘junoon’. A passion, which one is driven to pursue at any cost. That passion is what led to the creation of Tega Industries, and kept it alive through the most trying of times.

WANT TO BE A PART OF A PATH-BREAKING VENTURE? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN INTERNSHIP WHICH WOULD PROVIDE YOU WITH AN ENRICHING EXPERIENCE?
Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2013 plays host to Startup Camp which would serve as a platform that connects the best startups of the country to students and VC's. Startup Camp would witness participation of 20 of the best Startups in the country who would showcase their product/services to students and VCs.
These startups would provide college students a unique opportunity to work with them as a full time employee or as an intern. In addition, the participating startups would get a chance to pitch their ideas to prominent VC's of the country, thus giving an impetus to their venture. Other benefits will be finding appropriate partners and networking. It also serves as a platform of motivation and valuable learning for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Our association with the start ups will continue through start-up camps where they could showcase themselves before a wide array of people like entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, students and media. The camp also targets among other things, students interested in learning about potential job and internship opportunities at start-ups.
Otherwise the start-ups could offer summer internship to students through us. We will be acting as a bridge, helping start-ups connect to the student community in the campus. Internship details will be provided and students are free to apply.
The elevator door opens. And there stands your ideal investor. It's the chance of a lifetime. But that chance only lasts as long as the elevator ride - you have to make an impression in this time. Hopefully, you've got a well-crafted elevator pitch ready to give.

Ever wondered what it feels like to own a company? e-Monopoly gives you the perfect opportunity to do so. Different teams will purchase stakes in companies they find profitable. But be wary, there are some companies lurking on the ҧiant arenaҠwhich are operating under losses. Also, landing on a competitorӳ company would result in a heavy corporate infringement fine.
The twist in the game is the 'dynamic' bank balance maintained for every team, which would take into account the profit (or loss) of the companies purchased and the fine(s) paid to competitors among other factors (see rules). So, gear up for an exciting venture and battle it out with your market competitors to be the richest entrepreneur at the end of the game.
Object- The object of the game is to
Have the largest net worth, and
The maximum profit percentage.
Arena- The arena of above dimensions is divided into 26 cells of equal dimensions, out of which 20 cells are occupied by companies (a mix of some in profit and some in loss under the present market conditions). The remaining:
1 cell represents START
1 cell represents Prison (either a $20 billion fine to be paid or 2 chances to be missed)
1 cell represents Income Tax Raid ($20 billion to be paid)
1 cell represents Stock Market Crash ($30 billion to be paid)
2 cells each represent Community Chest and Chance.
Teams- Each team will consist of three players. At a time, there will be no more than 6 teams participating in the event.
Time ֠The game would go on for a duration of 45- 60 minutes.
The Play:
All teams will initially be given $350 billion in their bank accounts.
The game proceeds by the throw of dice (virtual). The quoted sales values of all companies are written on the corresponding cells on the arena.
A team can buy stakes of denominations 20%, 30% and 50% in the company on which it lands by paying the corresponding percentage of amount.
The profit/ loss (according to the present market conditions) will be added/subtracted to/from the bank balance on a per cycle basis.
If a team lands on a company space owned by another team (any denomination), it would have to pay a Corporate Infringement fine to the owner of that space. This fine will be 10% of the total investment of the owner(s) of the company and hence will be known to all teams.
The bank balance and the profit percentage of each team will be revealed at the end of every 2 rounds.
If during subsequent rounds of the game, a team already owning stakes in the company lands on its space when some stakes are still up for sale, it can buy further stakes in the company without having to pay the fine to the other owner (if present).
The bank balance of teams dynamic in nature and would test their knowledge about the market, with the previous purchases affecting the subsequent ones.
If a team owns stakes in more than one company, then its bank balance will be calculated, taking into account the profit/ loss of each company owned by the team.
The teams would have an option of auctioning off the stakes owned by them in any company to other teams. The auction will start from half the value of the investment of the team starting the auction. Another team willing to pay the highest price will get ownership of the stakes being sold.
The stakes can also be sold to the bank for exactly half the initial investment of the team in the company.
The move for auctioning off oneӳ stakes can be made only in the teamӳ chance. This will be made by notifying the banker about the decision.
The teams can end up in a prison for corporate fraud. They would either have to miss 2 turns or pay a fine of $20 billion.
If the teams land on the spaces corresponding to the income tax raid, they will have to pay $20 billion to proceed further.
If a team lands on the stock market crash, it loses $30 billion from its bank balance.
When a team lands on the community chest or chance, the outcome of landing on them will depend on the number that shows up on the dice and will be decided by a show of cards with pre decided outcomes.
If at any point of time, a team goes bankrupt or feels the need for funds, it can obtain a loan from the bank at an interest rate. The amount will be added to the balance of the team and has to be paid back with interest before the end of the game.
Result-
The game ends after the stipulated period of time and the final net worth and profit percentages of the teams are released in the form of a bank statement. The banker keeps a record of the balances of the teams throughout the progress of the game. All money transactions will be taken into consideration while calculating the balances. The teams with the highest net worth and the highest profit percentage win the game.

Intel Ideation Workshop in collaboration with FICE
Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Kharagpur presents a unique opportunity for you to participate and solve a problem of national importance in 2 days with the global experts in a certified workshop by Intel and FICE!
The workshop will run over 2 full days from 9am to 6pm on each day.
Structure of the Ideation Workshop:
During the program participants will go through the following six stages:
UNDERSTAND, USER, TECHNOLOGY, IDEATE, PITCH and CONTINUE.
Given below is an overview of the structure as well as a short description of each of the stages.
Understand
In order to successfully solve a problem you need to understand its true nature. The first step in the process is therefore to understand the overall challenge and break it into specific sub-challenges.
User
Now you will identify the various user segments and choose your final user. You can then get an overview of your userӳ specific problems, and select and describe the problem you want to solve for the user.
Tech
Most breakthrough innovations are based on a smart new technology or intelligent use of existing technology stage 3 is focused on screening and assessing the latest technology trends.
Ideate
At the very centre of every innovation is a great idea! That is why the ideation activity is essential for the success of any project. To enable a highly creative ideation session we use a 3- step model that helps you come up with hundreds of ideas before sorting and converting them into the final solution. After having found a brilliant idea you have to create a sustainable business model that can take the idea to the market and create high impact.
Pitch
After having found the brilliant idea, you need to prepare a good pitch. A pitch is short and precise presentation of the solution that highlights its most important features and makes the audience believe in your idea and the solution as a whole.
Continue
After the ideation workshop you have the opportunity to continue on your entrepreneurial journey with support from other Intel entrepreneurship and technology resources which can help you to further develop your solution and help guide it towards the implementation stage.

Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Kharagpur in association with Vinod Gupta School of Management, presents INICIO, an innovative hands-on case study challenge. You could have a million ideas as an Entrepreneur, but they’re all worthless if you don't get them done. Few would disagree with the fact that coming up with a fully fledged business plan, with every intricate detail taken into consideration, would be a cumbersome task. Thereby, sometimes it might happen that despite of having a brilliant idea, they hesitate or are not able to do justice to the presentation of that impeccable idea to the world! But again if you're not making mistakes, then you’re not making decisions. The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is that you'll fail ten times for every success. In purview of these facts, we have come up with an event which would encourage the young minds to let their ingenuity do the talking without the much talked about hiccups. This event consists of four rounds depicting the four distinct stages which a start-up organization goes through.

They are expected to come up with a strategic plan to resolve the issue in a logical and feasible manner.
SECOND ROUND:
After strategy development comes the time of managing the operational difficulties faced in increasing process efficiency, execution of market strategy, growth and development and further diversification. Possession of an insight into every minute detail as well as the ability to look at the bigger picture can be the only key that can undo the bars that become hurdles to the growth of an organization. And the same shall be judged in this round.
Every round will be eliminating in nature. After Second round, 5 teams will be selected for the finals. These teams will be invited to the campus to present their consolidated strategies. They will be judged by distinguished panel of judges consisting of academicians and industry experts.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. 2 members per team.
