Dear All,

 

We (IISc Alumni Association, Bangalore Chapter) are planning to start an entrepreneurship program that will benefit both the students and alumni of the institute. To begin with, we plan to understand the needs of the students, programs that are already running at the institute and learn from successful entrepreneurs regarding support that they received from the institute. In this context, we plan to have an interaction session with the students on June 12th at Choksi Hall between 10:00 - 12:00 AM or 3:00 - 5:00 PM (initially planned on 26th June). Please inform if you will be able to join this session. I would appreciate a quick response from you since the time is short.

 

I happened to be at the institute today and met the new students council (SC) committee who indicated that 12th June is preferred for this discussion. We need a volunteer to coordinate with them, prepare a flyer, print & display posters and broadcast it in IISc (anyone interested??). The contact details of the SC are:

1) Rishikesh Pandey, Chairman ‎(rishi....@gmail.com)‎, Ph: 22932595, 9449157001
2) Suman Devadula, General Secretary (deva...@cpdm.iisc.ernet.in), Ph: 8050802758, 9481616179

 

Regards,

Vishnu
