Entrepreneurship @ Ashoka in 2022
“There are decades where nothing happens;
and there are weeks where decades happen”
~ Lenin
Our times have come to justify what Lenin said
many decades ago. When we stepped into 2022,
there was still fear and caution about the
pandemic lingering around. We continued living
our professional lives through the boxes on our
screens for almost the entirety of the first quarter.
This was not much difficult for any as the inertia of
WFH had already kicked in, the challenge was to
break it, shun our pyjamas, and don a mask in a
physical setting. There were students and
colleagues who had started their journey with us
virtually. It was an exciting period post the mid-
sem break in March to finally meet them and get
back into our work space and classrooms after two
springs.

We had kickstarted the Spring Semester in January
with a major uptick in the number of
Entrepreneurship courses being offered. We were
fortunate to have some of the pioneers and
thought leaders in their respective fields teaching
our students. From Pramod Bhasin, the Founder of
Genpact doing a Leadership course to Raman Roy,
a leader in the Indian BPO Industry and a prolific
investor doing a course on How to Start a Startup.
Then we had courses on the themes of digital
transformation, real estate, finance, and investing
added to our course catalogue. The trend of the
Entrepreneurship course offerings going north
continued for the Monsoon Semester in September
with some amazing courses being offered in the
areas of Leadership, Strategy, Finance, Digital
Transformation, Management and
Entrepreneurship. The number of students being
engaged by us makes Entrepreneurship the biggest
minor on campus.
