Jai Hind College (Autonomous) located in South Mumbai recently completed 75 years of its academic excellence. The college has always been an active advocate of creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem to foster creativity and innovation among its students. It also has a strong alumni network that supports the students in their pursuits. Playing a phenomenal role in furthering the institution’s glory is its Entrepreneurship Cell & Skill Hub in association with the Institutions Innovations Council, under the guidance of Principal Dr. Ashok Wadia. “The summit is contributing to the NEP implementation” said Academic Head and Faculty Chairperson, Dr. Rakhi Sharma. It was digitally launched by our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.
The E-Cell and Skill Hub was founded with the aim of fostering the growth of the start-up economy in India. It works towards transforming job-seekers into job-makers, through consistent re-skilling and empirical learning opportunities.
As it rightly said, “make your network, your net worth”, E-cell of Jai Hind College took the first initiative of organising a networking meet called ‘E-Leaders’ Meet on 24th of January, 2023 where in students from 30+ colleges were invited to represent their college. The purpose was to build a platform for networking, allowing participants to make connections and form valuable relationships.

A 5-day long workshop called ‘Ennovate’ was also held in December last year and saw successful entrepreneurs and competitions like ‘Business Snakes & Ladders’ and ‘Pitch It Out’ were conducted which allowed students to think out of the box.
Beginning in 2016, the Summit went global in 2020, and has been supported by Governmental, Non-Governmental and International Organisations like Startup India, Make in India, Digital India, Maharashtra state Innovation Society, AWS Activate and various others over the years and has hosted national and international speakers as well.
“What differentiates E-Cell of Jai Hind College is that it is primarily run by the student community which helps to understand young minds better in the field of Entrepreneurship”- Dr. Ashok Wadia.
E - Cell now looks forward to its upcoming annual flagship event - Global Entrepreneurship Summit, 2023 scheduled to be held on the 10th and 11th of February, 2023 in the college premises.
The culmination of the Summit, the infamous Start Up Competition, is a platform comprising various startups battling each other to express their ideas via creative pitching. The winner will be awarded with a whopping amount of Rs. 100,000 to further their business propositions.
Partnering with Yes securities and HSBC Bank this year, it is scheduled to feature eminent Corporate Leaders, CEOs and Founders of various successful organisations.
The Student Managing team consists of Student Secretary Pratham Prabhani and Student Joint Secretaries Anuja Arya, Karishma Kripalani, Yogansh Banthia, Sangya Gupta, Aaradhya Sharma, Disha Manek and Teesha Bokadia.
