A Message For The Startup Ecosystem From Our Chairperson

“Entrepreneur is someone who has a vision for something and a want to create.”

I am very proud to say that over the past 3 decades Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), a constituent college of the University of Delhi (DU) has been encouraging entrepreneurship, innovation and a can-do spirit. Students from our college have made their mark in national and international fora; we are recognized as a great learning institution by multiple agencies of national repute such as NAAC (Grade ‘A’) and India Today (Best undergraduate college in India for undergraduate management education in June 2020).

Recognising our capabilities the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) chose SSCBS to be one of the first colleges in Delhi with an Innovation and Incubation Centre. Founded in 2016, SIIF provides a progressive and comprehensive platform for entrepreneurs. 

Entrepreneurship is about always moving forward: never stopping, never allowing fear or self-doubt to take over, and believing wholeheartedly that even a wrong decision is better than no decision. An entrepreneur needs good communication skills, perseverance and a constant ability to learn. SIIF strives to bloom an entrepreneurship ecosystem in the college under the Incubation Policy Govt. of NCT, Delhi.

I can proudly say that SIIF through its series of activities,  events, programmes and pitching sessions is on track to fulfil its vision of becoming a centre of excellence that fosters synergy between academia and the industry that fuels entrepreneurial spirit and provides one of the most enabling ecosystems in the country. SIIF does this by connecting with experts from different industry domains from all across the country to help businesses grow, generate revenues, bring about social transformations and cultivate a platform for our incubatees to connect and learn.

Lastly, we believe that small ideas can make a big impact and so we invite you to come along and help drive change and make the world a better place – bit by bit.
