Dear Readers,
Entrepreneurship is considered as
one of the influential forces that help
determine the health of the
economy. We at NMIMS align the
basic synergies of core management
subjects such as marketing with a
practical understanding of
entrepreneurship through various
events and workshops. NMIMS,
Hyderabad was privileged to partner
with Nurture Talent Academy for a
workshop on Business Planning as a
part of masterplan (B-plan
competition, IIM Ahmedabad). is
eclectic mix provides an
opportunity to develop unique
solutions to satisfy customer needs,
and is indispensable when catering
to the growing entrepreneurial
intent in developing economies.
Although, many would argue that
the entrepreneurial spirit is innate,
the credence of effective
entrepreneurial education is to
foster the right entrepreneurial
attitude with requisite real life
scenarios, and this is precisely what
we at NMIMS endeavor to do.
Encouraging Holistic Personal
Growth:
At NMIMS, Hyderabad we strive
towards a multifaceted learning
approach whereby students are
e n c o u ra g e d t o n u r t u re t h e i r
intellectual, emotional and social
personas. Nirvahana- e Annual
management festival and various
other events in this issue were
focused on grooming students at
multiple levels and helping them
i d enti f y an d ali g n w ith th eir
competencies.
Sensitizing Social Conscience:
At NMIMS, Hyderabad students are
encouraged to appreciate inclusive
and sustainable growth with a view
to creating business leaders with
empathy. 'Money Mantra' is the
quintessential example of how
students use their entrepreneurial
skills to help the undeser ved
sections of the society.
FosteringThought Leadership:
NMIMS, Hyderabad had th e
pleasure of hosting several erudite
professionals across diverse
business functions for its numerous
conclaves, seminars and lectures to
advance thought leadership among
various stakeholders.
Shaping Responsible Leaders:
e articles and events covered in
this edition are a testament to our
c o n s t a n t e n d e av o r t o c re a t e
business leaders who fully
appreciate the opportunities and
challenges of a fast evolving and
dynamic market.
The AAA Paradigm:
Acquire, Apply and Assimilate- e
knowledge you have acquired at
NMIMS, Hyderabad will be applied
in real life scenarios and once you do
this repeatedly it becomes ingrained
in you which helps assimilate all the
knowledge you have gathered.
At NMIMS, Hyderabad we explore
the evidence base of best practices in
the country to map out a thematic
system for inculcating a sustainable
entrepreneurial education system
that can serve as a solid foundation
for business education in modern
times. Ventures like Book My Load
( found ed by Kunal Jain), e
Dimension ( founded by Spriha
Tantia and Shivam Goyal) and
various others started by alumnus of
NMIMS, Hyderabad are testament to
the efficacy of our educational
model. is issue of iNM will serve
as a window to help us understand
the entrepreneurial ethos and
mindset of some of the
entrepreneurs who have not only
carved out a niche for themselves as
successful entrepreneurs but are
now also taking on the onus of
making corporate India what it truly
deserves to be!
