Our experience with the EDD program's Seed Track was truly transformative. Participating in the E-Summit was an excellent opportunity to network and gain insights from industry leaders. The program started strong, the interactive activities and well-structured modules kept us engaged and provided practical learning experiences. One of the standout achievements for us was establishing a Documentation vertical within our college, inspired by the comprehensive guidance and support provided during the Seed program. The EDD program not only helped us build foundational skills but also fostered a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within our institution. We highly recommend this program to any E-Cell looking to grow and make a significant impact

The Entrepreneurship Development Drive (EDD) program has significantly enhanced the marketing of our college. The communication with the Point of Contact (POC) was excellent, ensuring smooth coordination throughout. The program proved to be very beneficial, fostering valuable connections with other colleges. We particularly appreciate the opportunity to communicate with like-minded colleges and students. Our students have become much more enthusiastic about self-growth and entrepreneurship after participating in the program. We are excited to participate in the Seed Fund initiative this year as well. Overall, the EDD program has been a transformative experience for our institution and students.”
