Tailored guidance for all types of teams
What is EDD?
Student entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the overall entrepreneurial growth of our
country. However, universities in India differ significantly in the resources and
frameworks they provide for fostering entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship Development Drive, E-Cell IIT Madras with its 9th
edition
aims to bridge this gap by offering guidance and support to various student teams and
entrepreneurial organizations.
Our Vision
Our goal is to enhance entrepreneurial knowledge among young minds, recognizing the pivotal role of the nation's youth in driving economic development and fostering a thriving startup culture. To create positive change at the grassroots level, we aim to establish business organizations on every college campus across the country.
