A lot has been talked about individuality and ideas. A lot has been talked about empowering your ideas and being the decision maker. A lot more about being an Entrepreneur. A time when everyone is trying making it big in a cut throat competitive world, get hold of a job to reach the top of the authority responsibility chain; comes an opportunity to fulfil your dreams. Yes, we are talking about “I am an Entrepreneur” campaign initiated by Technopark TBI in association with DST and DSIR, sponsored by AIRCEL and executed by TechnoFIRST magazine. It’s not just another campaign to promote the idea of entrepreneurship but one to make your dreams of being an entrepreneur a reality. A campaign planned across the campuses in Kerala so that we have more entrepreneurs and even more employment opportunities. Under the guidance and support from eminent personalities like Mr Kris Gopalakrishnan, Mr. Shashi Tharoor and many other who’s who of the business and political world, the campaign is expected to be as successful as it could be. The campaign started on 4h august 2009 flagged of by Mr S. Haroon, Business Head, AIRCEL Kerala Circle.

The campaign is supported by a number of medias, to begin with TechnoFIRST magazine which is executing the whole campaign undertaken by a young though powerful team, www.iamanentrepreneur.in a website solely dedicated to this campaign with the latest updates about the campaign and tips and advices from the market leaders and business gurus and an interaction forums to be aware about what others think. www.technofirstonline.com is another website closely following this campaign and apart from all these there are communities and groups on networking sites wherein student and professionals exchange their opinion and has received a positive response from the students and others alike.
This campaign has aimed to change the perspective of the youth to accomplish their dreams and has given an opportunity to the students to dream big. It’s a perfect launch for any young entrepreneur because you don’t need to worry about anything whether it’s funding, work space, infrastructural facilities or anything that you need to start a business. The best part is the support you receive in the form of assistance and guidance from the industry experts. This is one opportunity for all those who wish to make it big. “I am an Entrepreneur” campaign is indeed an opportunity to make your dreams come true.
Its good to see more of this out there. I recently got the courage to leave my engineering job and set out on my own. I have the ideas and the motivation, now just need a little luck! The more campaigns and information like this that is out there the better.
I found a good movie by Louis Lautman at TheYESmovie.com gives a bit of inspiration. Good to see other can do it too.
Keep up the good work.
