Driven by supportive government policies, maturing clean technologies and growing investor appetite, India is fast becoming a hub of entrepreneurial innovation for all genres of people – small town residents, Indian expats returning home with Ivy League education to boot, and even a few enterprising foreigners. Interestingly, these entrepreneurial business models are ranging in all imminent industries. Entrepreneurism is playing a vital role in the development of the country. Keeping in line with this entrepreneurial phase in the country IIPM in association with the SMG Club conducted the Entrepreneurial Tryst on the 12th of July 2011 at IIPM Satbari Campus.

He discussed about how Yo china started with a boom and how they faltered as a brand. Mr. Kapur gave the students a first hand experience, lessoning the students straight from the Yo story. The second session was delivered by Mr. Rajat Khare, Founder and CEO, Appin Knowledge Solutions. The topic covered by him was setting up a new business venture, hiccups & challenges faced by entrepreneurs & online reputation management. Mr. Khare is an alumnus of IIT Delhi and he discussed the problems he faced while venturing into the vast IT industry straight after his engineering days.

His session gave a complete insight on how brands both big and small have gained, sustained and lost out because of appropriate or unsuitable marketing strategies respectively.
