With Ascent 2010, Entrepreneurship Cell, IIM Calcutta, continues its legacy of conducting innovative events to foster entrepreneurship across the nation. In a day-long celebration of entrepreneurship on the IIM-C campus, Ascent 2010 reinvents itself with a speaker series, a business ideation contest, and a critique contest.

The speaker series will give students a rare opportunity to gain candid insights into an entrepreneur’s journey.

Welcome to the first edition of IGNITE! We at E-Cell are immensely excited about the first edition of IGNITE and the last fortnight has seen members discussing article ideas and design suggestions with much ado in deserted common rooms and corridors.

The launch of the magazine has been planned to coincide with Jokanomics and E-week, which mark the last events for the current E-Cell team of batches 45/15 and 46/16.

One of the very few people in the country to start a venture while studying at a B-School, Pathikrit Ghosh,has carefully built and re-built his business model, revenue structure, processes, delivery mechanisms and team for about a year till he was totally satisfied. His company, Myma Business Solutions has now moved from the development stage to the operational one. Visit Myma at http://www.myma.co.in

Value or money which is more important as this is dilemma faced by most of the entrepreneurship, according me there value is much more important than money, as if you are seeking value in your venture than there are chances that you will ended with money but if you are seeking money than there are very little chance of getting money while value is very far proposition. As entrepreneur you always seek a answer of a question, that how can I change the world if not world than a nation if not nation than a society if not society than a individual.

A team of Stanford students was told: create value using rubber bands. Yes, rubber bands.

So, they had a brilliant idea. They thought: “Let’s create a Wishing Tree, a tree from which students can hang their wish-notes using rubber bands. We’ll catalyze love and peace. People will group together under the tree, linking arms, and singing in three part harmony.” (Ok, maybe their vision didn’t extend quite that far.)

It didn’t work.
