SOME OF OUR ESTEEMED RECRUITERS
In recent years our students have been recruited by a broad range of companies, including:
Entrepreneurship as a career option
On campus start-up business incubator
Not everyone wants to take up a job at the end of the program. Some want to build their
start-up! The On-Campus Start-up
Incubator provides students with access to resources to develop their start-up ideas. Students
may opt to work on their
Startup idea instead of taking up the 5 month Internship. ITM has a vast array of talent in
Tech, Design, Finance and
supply chain fields among others, and Incubatees will have access to their time and knowledge.
Events such as hackathons, industry masterclasses, business conferences,, startup bootcamps and
yatras ensure that ideas
grow beyond a business plan and feasibility study, into an actual start-up.
