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 incubator
Not everyone wants to take up a job at the end of the program. Some want to build their
start-up! Our On-Campus Start-Up Incubator provides students with access to
resources
to develop their start-up ideas. Students may opt to work on their start-up 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, start-up boot
camps,
and yatras ensure that ideas grow beyond a business plan and feasibility study into an
actual
start-up.
Incubation process
Idea
Interested students develop an idea for a product or service and document it.
Pitch
Ideas are developed into a business plan and presented to an internal committee. If the idea has merit and is selected, it moves to the next stage.
Prototype Support
Students get support from faculty and industry mentors to build a prototype.
Incubation
At this stage, the idea matures into a business and takes anywhere between 3 to 6 months to develop its metrics and profitability.
Funding
ITM Business School has set up a seed fund of INR 10,000,000 to fund qualifying start-ups within the incubator. Angel investment and VC networking opportunities are provided, too.
Degree Awarded
On successful completion of the program you will be awarded the degree of “Master of Business Administration”, by ITM Skills University, a UGC approved, private skills University incorporated under the government of Maharashtra.
Life on Campus
Nestled in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, a thriving "Smart City" and hub of global financial
activities, our technologically
advanced and Wi-Fi enabled, green campus provides an ideal backdrop for academic and
professional growth.
We recently
updated the campus infrastructure and have brand-new interactive air-conditioned classrooms,
video conferencing
facilities, auditorium and specialized labs. Our campus has plenty of green open spaces, an
amphitheater, etc. We

extracurricular learning experiences essential for the holistic development of our students.
