The Genesis:
The

established in the year 1854, is one of the premiere engineering institutes in
the country which has consistently maintained it’s tradition of excellence in
the field of technical education. The institute is consistently ranked amongst

Bhau Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship
and Leadership (BIEL) is set up in COEP, to promote incubation of
enterprises from amongst COEP students.
Due
to increasing need for entrepreneurial skills in the future generation of
technologists, a unique course is being organized by Bhau Institute for entrepreneurs.
About
the Course:
The course is
designed based on the latest training curriculum and methodologies in use internationally. The course is aimed at preparing participants
to understand the start up concept from different aspects of a business
enterprise; like the organization, marketing, finance etc. The course will prepare them to pitch
their ideas to International investors and accelerator programs.
The
course will consist of about 4 weeks of preparation followed by a 1 week of
intensive full time Boot Camp. The preparation will consist of several lectures
from renowned Indian and International experts. Project deliverables will need
to be created by the entrepreneur; related to his/her own start up idea. This
will be a flipped course, in the sense that majority of lectures will be
studied by the participant as recorded material at participant’s own
convenience while the deliverables will be created in the classroom environment
under the direct supervision of the faculty.
Lean Start Up processes will be followed all through the course.
Participants will be taught to follow the practices after completion of the
course during actual execution of the project.
The participants can attend the course on part-time basis, while
engaging in his/her own business during day time. Each week, recorded lectures
will need to be studied from home and participants will attend one or two
classroom sessions every week to prepare the deliverables, review/discuss the
concepts learned. The participants are expected to spend minimum about 10 hours
every week during the preparation period of course. However, during one week of
Boot Camp, the participants will be required to attend on full time basis.
The course is structured in 3 parts. First 4 weeks, participants will do
some basic preparatory work, by creating first version of the business model
and related inputs. This will be followed by one week (5th week) of
full time intensive Boot Camp to thoroughly analyse the participant’s proposed
plan. Several required changes/ improvements will be identified in the Boot
Camp sessions. Thereafter, following weeks, the participant will refine the
plans and prepare a final version of Business Plan, Executive Summary and
Investor Pitch. The participant will be ready to present his/her ideas to
investors and launch the business at the end of the course.
