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.
