Harold Robinson, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Francis Xavier Engineering College.
The speaker explained the purpose of promoting the entrepreneurship and startups by the government of India and Tamil Nadu. He also explained the importance of startups and gave a brief introduction about several companies with their own start-up accelerator programme where after initial handholding they can integrate the start-up entity with mainline operations. The buzz around the success stories in Indian start-ups and its poster boys has been so emphatic that it has completely over-shadowed a high incidence of failures in recent years.
The session was an interactive one wherein the participants raised a lot of questions and their doubts were clarified with the help of appropriate examples. 43 students and 2 staff members participated in the program.
