Entrepreneurs can find Industry mentors.
Article in Times Of India's 5th September edition:
----
"These mentors will change your thinking - N R Narayana Murthy, Nilekani, Premji To Help IISc Students Set Up Companies.
The IISc Alumni Association has come up with a cracker of an idea - it is setting up a 'mentoring system' in which great entrepreneurs will act as mentors or thinkers for students and research scholars, who wish to launch small firms or startups , or turn their research into technology and eventually take the entrepreneurial route in life.
According to Dr K R Srinivasan (man behind the this idea) there will be a website to connect mentor and students/scholar in the first phase of interaction.The mentors will take time out and be personal with students or mentee. They will make concrete suggestion, offer advise, show route that could be taken.
The system will be open to IISc and IIT students, initially. If it turns out positive and productive, it will be extended to engineering college too."
----
I am not sure how success this will be, but this can some new entrepreneurs. Recently Abdul Kalam told that "India is not looking for employment seekers, it is looking for people who create jobs". This is a good sign that India can see a lot of new companies which will bring new job opportunity.
India was finding IT as a job bucket for some years, lot of new companies built their bases throughout India. Now for any new company there is only very small space left out, this sectore can only can see a any new company if they have any exceptional idea or business model.
In recent time there are lots entrepreneurs are looking as green energy, environment friendly technology, education etc as a new area. This is a good sign that is moving its entrepreneurship away from IT companies. But can any of this sectors give same amount of job opportunity what IT/BPO based industry gave to India?
The number of people come out of colleges are very high. I belie we can only wait and watch which sectors will be so hungry to take such a large number of fresh graduates coming out of college.
It is great to know that people are willing to become mentors and help young students to take a extra mile to become an entrepreneur and see some change in the system.
