Greetings from EDI!

It's with a feeling of great pride that I present my students before you. We initiated this programme with immense confidence in the power of entrepreneurial skills in a person's life and career. Our students have come to acknowledge the clout of an entrepreneurial bent of mind after these two years of rigorous academic schedule. I am glad that the students have learnt all aspects of entrepreneurial management and have mastered the strategies that help one catch the pulse of the market and the customers. The trained students possess the right attitude, knowledge and skills.

There isn't an iota of uncertainty among students about their strengths and capability which I believe is the foremost trait of a winning personality. They trust their planning and strategizing skills to take on the unpredictable business world and have developed unique entrepreneurial creativity and management skills to take the organization that they work for, to the peak.

The students have undergone courses including; Entrepreneurship, Organization Management, Business Policy and Strategy, Marketing, Business Opportunity and Project Formulation, and Economics and Finance.

I am glad to present this batch of entrepreneurial – managers who think ahead and work with unbelievable resolve and commitment. I invite corporates to give them an opportunity to exhibit their abilities and proficiency.

- Dr. Dinesh Awasthi

Page 6: Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Business ... Convocation of EDI's PGDM Programme 26 14 EDI in Press 27 ... The Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Business Entrepreneurship

The Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Business Entrepreneurship is a course which is

contemporary in terms of the coverage of its curriculum. This 'futuristic course', as I would

like to put it, imparts specialized traits and knowledge to its students and grooms them in a

way to take up the role of intra-preneurs or entrepreneurial managers. For any organisation to

flourish, it is important that its employees nurture an entrepreneurial attitude towards work.

The students of this course possess the right kind of skills, attitude and knowledge to make

meaningful contribution to the organisation that they work for. Exploring and exploiting business opportunities, developing and using networks, taking

initiatives and calculated risks so as to achieve a goal are the niche areas of these passing out

students. Their skills will immensely benefit the organization that they work for.

On the part of the student, I can see a distinct enthusiasm to prove themselves. They are

determined to make a difference to the organisation that they work for by becoming result-

oriented professionals. We invite corporates to give them an opportunity to showcase their unique skills.

- Dr. Sunil Shukla

facilitate the interaction between students and the industry. Students will be placed in Small and

Medium Enterprises (SMEs), as per their specialization / area of interest, for a period of 8-10

weeks after completion of the first year.

visits complement the class room learning. Every year students organize seminars on a subject of

topical interest. Students work on live projects to get first-hand experience in different

enterprises on various current topics. Industrial visits are regularly arranged for students with a

these company visits remain dialogue-driven events, allowing the students to discuss ideas and

viewpoints that are directly related to their needs and interests.

E-zine – 'EDIcted'

'EDIcted' is a student initiative to provide a platform for

the expression of creativity, knowledge sharing and

networking. It is an E-zine with circulation of around

three thousand mainly to the students, alumna, other

educational institutions and various organizations like

GCCI. The unique factor about 'EDIcted' is that it is

completely based on entrepreneurship, probably only

student magazine exclusively on entrepreneurship! It

covers entrepreneurial interaction conducted at EDI,

live interview with EDI alumna and other industry

experts, student corner covering poetry, articles, quizzes

and other interesting content. The editorial team has

received very positive feedback for this initiative from all.

Vadilal, Azure, Motif, Evosys, Troikaa, Reliance Communication and Times of India in offering th'English Language' course to the less privileged 6th & 7 grade students from Government

15

Page 18: Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Business ... Convocation of EDI's PGDM Programme 26 14 EDI in Press 27 ... The Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Business Entrepreneurship

International Interaction

EDI Ahmedabad in collaboration with universities like

YUFE (Yunnan University of Finance and Economics),

Kunming Institute of Science and Technology, YUNAN

University and a few other universities in Dubai and UK,

is designing international exchange programmes for its

students. Recently an exchange programme between

students of EDI and YUFE took place in June 2012. Soon

we expect more interactions and student exchange

activities from more universities across the globe. YUFE is

a wide spread campus and built across 100 acres of land with spectacular infrastructure. The

multi-disciplinary university has about 10,000 students pursuing their studies in various fields.

During the exchange programme that took place over two weeks a vigorous interaction took

place between students of EDI and YUFE. Students got to attend classes on subjects like China's

history, geography and politics, Sino-India relations, trade and economic issues between the two

nations and a language module where students got a chance to learn their language. The visit

proved fruitful as many budding entrepreneurs from EDI now have a Chinese counterpart to help

them build a similar successful enterprise here. Apart from lectures our students got to

understand, explore and enjoy the rich Chinese culture. Visiting their wholesale markets was a

rich learning experience in itself. A mall with around 50,000 shops is running successfully in this

part of China. Hence, China is not only a strong manufacturer but it also is a huge consumer

market.

During my Course of PGDM-BE from 2011-13 in EDII. Last two years have

been the most inspirational as well as important years of my life. I got the

opportunity to interact with many diverse personalities who shared their

experiences and imparted on hand industry knowledge.

The best part about EDI was that there was always a helping hand available.

The faculty as well as administrative staff were cooperative and had a very

helpful attitude.

EDI taught me "Positive thinking always works."
