Shri Suresh Prabhu

Our government has fired the imagination of youth to unleash the spirit of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs must focus on the possibility of doing extraordinary things. In order to become successful, start-ups must try to identify the gap in the ecosystem, build a business model around the same and bridge the gap.

 

At the inauguration of the EDII Startup Summit 2018

Shri Kris Gopalakrishnan

I hope some of you will start ventures that are relevant to small and rural businesses in India, something that EDII has been promoting for several decades now. Remember, there are plenty of opportunities to serve the needs of the under-served in India, what some call the ‘Next Billion Users’ in India.

 

Chief Guest at the 20th EDII Convocation on 02 June, 2019

Shri Subhash Chandra

The graduating students are lucky to have received this training. They should now look for innovative opportunities and explore them to their maximum to attain success in life.

 

Chief Guest at the 2nd EDI-PGP Convocation on 22 July, 2000

Shri Brijmohan Lall Munjal

Never entertain complacency in Business. Complacency means we are resting on our past achievements and taking life easy. There is also a danger of missing certain timely decisions and losing the trust of people around us.

 

Chief Guest at the 4th EDI-PGP Convocation on 24 August, 2002

Dr. C. Rangarajan

Entrepreneurship covers a wide spectrum from street vendors and vegetable sellers to multi-crore enterprises. One sees the spirit of entrepreneurship asserting itself over this wide spectrum. While it is difficult to cover the entire spectrum, EDI, as I understand, is focusing on specific segments such as small and medium enterprises as well as women entrepreneurs. This is particularly meaningful in the context of the emphasis on inclusive growth.

 

Eighth Biennial Conference on Entrepreneurship was held at EDII during March 19-21, 2009

Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla

Entrepreneurs are, once again, getting to be widely admired. They are becoming not just role models, but heroes also-just as much as actors or sportsmen. Without doubt, entrepreneurs stand tall today.

Chief Guest at the 6th EDI-PGP Convocation on 18 September, 2004

Shri G.M. Rao

Whatever I do, it should not only add economic value but should also contribute towards social value. I think that mindset has tremendously helped me in building the national asset which are contributing significantly for the social and economic growth of the contry.

 

Chief Guest at the 15th EDI-PGP Convocation on 19 April, 2014

Dr. Sam Pitroda

Business is not just about making money. Business is about making a contribution, creating jobs, prosperity, not just for yourself, but for your family, for your workers, for your community and for the nation.

 

Chief Guest at the 13th EDI-PGP Convocation on 03 April, 2012

Shri Sunil Bharti Mittal

There is no short cut to success. All aspiring people should have both, the short term and long term vision, as both these are indispensable for success. The will to perform should be there because the only way to succeed is through performance.

 

Chief Guest at the 3rd EDI-PGP Convocation on 23 August, 2001
