Entrepreneurship

At GIBS, entrepreneurship is taken really seriously. The college actually pushes students to think beyond just getting a job. There's this cool setup called the Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship (IRE) School, where they teach you how to come up with ideas, plan them out, and even launch your own startup. They also have a Startup Hub that helps students get mentorship and support to actually build their business.

What's nice is that GIBS brings in real entrepreneurs for sessions, workshops, and live projects — so you get to learn straight from people who've done it. Honestly, it's the kind of environment that makes you want to take risks and try something new.

At GIBS Business School, the pedagogy is all about experiential learning. With a focus on practical exposure, innovation, and leadership development, its uniquely designed IRE Schoolprogramme (Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship) helps nurture creativity, research capability, and entrepreneurial thinking in its students. Students engage in hands-on projects on real business ideas and work on market research and prototype development through dedicated Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship Labs. This prepares the students to be innovative leaders and successful entrepreneurs in a competitive global environment by merging classroom learning with industry practices.

Yes, entrepreneurship is actively supported for Industrial Design students at Chandigarh University, but the approach is highly practice-oriented. The university organizes design hackathons and innovation fairs where students can showcase their products directly to potential investors.

Mentorship from industry professionals helps students refine both their design and business models. There are also opportunities for seed funding through CU's innovation cell, which encourages students to register their startups while still in college. Industrial Design students with interests in product branding, lifestyle innovations, or consumer technology often receive guidance on patenting their ideas. Entrepreneurial culture is deeply integrated into the curriculum, with students being encouraged to present independent projects during their final year. This ensures they leave not just as graduates but as potential founders. 

The freedom to experiment with real-world problems in studios further supports their journey toward building successful businesses.
