    E-Cell, NIT Trichy ಅವರಿಂದ ಈ ದಿನದಂದು ಪೋಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ ಮಂಗಳವಾರ, ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ 4, 2020

    The advancement and progress in society today would not have been possible if not for the inventors and engineers of yesteryear. Their constant pursuit for the most sophisticated applications using scientific principles has resulted in our comfortable and luxurious living.

    In just about half a century, we have achieved substantial changes – from the first personal computer to the smartphone, from objectively no connectivity to the mammoth internet-services today, from the heavy fossil-fuel consumption to renewable energy sources, and more. Though all of them seem to be disjointed, they have two important elements in common; An innovation and a forward-thinking vision.

    Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were unrivalled visionaries for technology. Jeff Bezos and Jack Ma brilliantly exploited the first movers’ advantage to disrupt consumerism. Everywhere we look, we find the effects of true entrepreneurialism.

    Engineering and entrepreneurialism go hand-in-hand.With this in mind, the Entrepreneurship Cell of NIT Trichy was formed to adhere to the doctrine of spreading, encouraging and fostering the idea of entrepreneurialism among the students and providing the necessary platforms to secure a chance of succeeding.

    Poster for the Event

    Create impact and keep on innovating. In a startup journey, there are three major stages: 0, 1 and n. At 0, you are just beginning and your idea is all you have. At 1, you have your startup established. At n, your startup is expanding and scaling-up. In the journey from 0 to 1, we hope to create something that would impact society in a huge way. We want to disrupt the usual flow of the way things work. In the journey from 1 to n, every startup while scaling-up faces a lot of disruptions.
