AIC-PRESTIGE

Connect, Develop and Grow Your Startup​

First step into the world of start-ups and entrepreneurship!

JumpStart is an innovative workshop from AIC-Prestige Inspire Foundation, designed to provide student participants with a glimpse of possibilities and opportunities in the exciting world of start-ups and entrepreneurship. Drawing inspiration from increased success cases in university-level entrepreneurship across India, the purpose of the workshop is to present entrepreneurship as a viable future option for young minds.

The workshop is structured across 4 modules – Creativity & Innovation, Entrepreneurial Skills, From Idea to Start-up, and Intellectual Property Rights – each offering a progressive view of entrepreneurship. It is designed to supplement the theoretical learnings imparted by faculty in classroom, and therefore, is indexed to practical, hands-on learning. The workshop creates a bridge between learning and implementing by providing actionable student innovation-oriented insights into raising seed funding for an idea even without a start-up or any form of legal business entity.

JumpStart is relevant also to those students who do not wish to pursue entrepreneurship, as it enhances employability and future-readiness of participants with vital learnings in creativity, innovation and dealing with risks.

For the management of business schools, institutes and universities, JumpStart can be a valuable resource, contemporizing learning for students and enabling improved entrepreneurial outcomes and student placements. All participants receive a certificate from AIC-Prestige Inspire Foundation
