Going through the pages of my old school magazines, I came across an article titled ‘Help India Grow'. The article caught my attention as soon as I saw it because of the silver metallic finish to the heading.     

The first paragraph was really monotonous because of phrases such as ‘Unemployment is the major reason for India’s slow growth’ which seemed pretty obvious to me. I saw below the article an image of Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani (Founder, Reliance Industries Pvt. Ltd). I went on reading with the hope to find something interesting. The article in its last paragraph glorified the story of a boy from the villages of Gujarat. It glamorized how the boy coming from a poor family was able to raise money for his family. The boy had the power of a common man .He had a vision of being the richest man on Earth. He knew the trials and tribulations faced by the common man. He wanted to bring about a revolution and he set out on his journey by becoming an Entrepreneur with the aim of a vibrant India. Today, Reliance Industries is listed among top Fortune 500 list of world's biggest companies by revenue.

 As soon as I finished reading, I opened my laptop and started researching about his life. I was very much influenced by his actions and started researching on Entrepreneurship projects. I came across E- Cell IIT Bombay’s website and was very much impressed by their work. I shut down my laptop and dozed off to bed.

Being involved in a lot of extracurricular activities and being a part of many societies, I thought why I shouldn’t come up with an Entrepreneurship Cell in our college. The aim of the cell would be to promote Entrepreneurship within the University and to build as many Entrepreneurs as possible but before that, I needed a team. I rang up my friends and they agreed to help me in it. I asked Mrs. Archana Jain, my Statistics teacher if she would like to be the convenor of the society and she replied affirmatively. That’s how Vyapaar-The Entrepreneurship Cell,  DCAC came into existence.

For me, Entrepreneurship is the path towards the change we seek. It is the only by which our country can move ahead. Not only does it provide job opportunities, experience etc but also helps the common man earn a living as a result of which he is able to feed himself and his family. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy job. It takes hard work, passion and above all, a purpose to do something.

Somewhere within, we all have an entrepreneur within us who has the desire to build things, who loves to take risks and is a rebellious streak. Bring out that entrepreneur in you and be the change we all seek. #BeanEntrepreneur

Every student has that little flicker of hope inside him to do something extraordinary in his college life, to have a chance to stand out. 

I had the hope but taking the initiatives to follow it seemed a far fetched dream. 

But when my friend came up with such an amazing idea to start an e-cell, I couldn't resist. I decided to prove my capabilities and face every challenge that lay in the way. We shared a lot of ideas and implementing them successfully, the entrepreneuship cell of DCAC came in to existence.I could feel true self shining out. That was how I became the co-founder of VYAPAAR. This initiative was a kind of a first step for us and we have many more to go.

I personally believe that entrepreneurship is not just only starting a company and touching new heights of success, instead it has a wider scope. It is a medium to change the things you want to change, a path which connects you to your passion. In my case entrepreneur.com was a very helpful site which helped me to know various aspects of entrepreneurship. To become an entrepreneur you need a spark to ignite the whole world with your ideas. 

"If you are capable enough to take initiatives, believe me there is an entrepreneur inside you"

Just be yourself , be an entrepreneur

The other day I was surfing the net and the following quote caught my eyes.

“IF YOU DON’T BUILD YOUR DREAM,

SOMEONE WILL HIRE YOU TO HELP BUILD THEIRS!”

-TONY GASKINS

Till many days this quote kept swirling in my mind. I knew that job was not my cup of tea. I started reading articles about entrepreneurship. Soon, examples of many successful entrepreneurs came up, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Dhirubhai Ambani. Quite impressed with their stories, I decided to open an Entrepreneurship cell in my college, which will inspire students to dream, learn and become future entrepreneurs. And hence I joined the team of young enthusiasts who took this initiative further.

 On that day, I summarized entrepreneurship as development of a unique business model, acquisition of the necessary resources, organization and management of business venture and the willingness to take risk.
