Ashoka Innovation Start-up Cell (AISC)

Leading to limitations on what one can achieve in life, dying with music still in their heart. We firmly believe that entrepreneurship is the ultimate way of living a fulfilling and purposeful life, which will not only uplift themselves but also lead to the upliftment of the society and the nation at large.

Pioneers, those who laid the foundation of the Ashoka Innovation Start-up Cell (AISC) as they believe that every individual has been uniquely crafted and gifted by God; he brings with him uniqueness and talent that will enrich the lives of other human beings making this world a better place. Entrepreneurship is the distinct way of showcasing the uniqueness of individuals, and the gift God has bestowed upon each one of them. Humans by their very nature are born entrepreneurs. We have the survival instinct which is imbibed in our very being, but over the years we have lost our appetite for risk to enterprise.

Many dreams die before they really take off; many projects fade off before they see the light; many ideas go dust before they are conceived. The startup cell is the need of an hour. No idea, no concept, no mind that is filled with an urge to do something that will transform the future should die before it gets a fair opportunity to thrive and succeed.

The Ashoka Innovation and Star-up Cell is dedicated for the cause of crafting entrepreneurs. We at Ashoka Business School encourage students to take up the road less travelled. The Cell identifies students who aspire to be the first generation entrepreneurs and students having family business and plan to take it further. They are helped in the critical task of building a team, acquiring key Entrepreneurial Skills, know-how and financial resources, etc.
