Over 400 budding entrepreneurs as well as trade tycoons from established business houses in Ludhiana and Jalandhar attending the recently held ‘business guidance camps’ organised by The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) at Jalandhar and Ludhiana, is just an indication how entrepreneurship activities are gaining momentum in the region.
Executive Director, TiE (Punjab &Chandigarh) Shivneet Singh, who was pleasantly surprised seeing the response of students in the two cities of Punjab yearning to learn the nuances of turning into entrepreneurs, believes that students, who till now were job seekers, are eyeing opportunities of turning into job providers.
Shivneet Singh added the signs of entrepreneurship activities bubbling in the region had been possible because of mindset and societal change among people, which had started accepting enterprenuership as a viable and lucrative career option.
Another big contributing factor had been the change in funding pattern from traditional to non-traditional sources, he said.
