The Adrenaline Rushes…. LIBA E-CELL Takes Off

“You have to dream before your dreams come true.”
-by Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, "How good or how bad am I?" That's where courage comes in." The young entrepreneurs at LIBA believe in their Dreams, believe in their courage and most importantly they believe in themselves. And Yes they have the guts to look upon their dreams and put them on the line. Every long journey starts with a First step and that step has been put into action by the young, energetic, dedicated, courageous and ambitious students of LIBA.

The young aspirant entrepreneurs at LIBA believe that if you chase your ‘Dream’, if you have the courage to ‘Dare’ we will make you ‘Deliver’. If you are the one who wants to do things differently, who wants to stand out of the crowd, who has the desire to make your dream come true then this is the place for you.
A bunch of students who want to be future entrepreneurs gathered together and started an ‘E-Cell’ in order to promote the idea of entrepreneurship and help the budding entrepreneurs to achieve their goals. This cell started in collaboration with TiE, A non-profit global network of entrepreneurs and professionals, established to foster entrepreneurship and nurture entrepreneurs.

LIBA observed the successful official launch of ‘Entrepreneurship –Cell @ LIBA’ on 20th of August, 2009 and it was magnanimous. The chief guest for this event was Mr. Raghu, CEO, Energeate, Secretary TIE Chennai and Chief Mentor of ‘E-Cell’. ‘E-Cell’ launch was also blessed by the presence of Mr. Ramarajan, Rev. Fr. Christie, Director of LIBA, Mr. Gowrisankar, Dean of LIBA and Prof. J K. The auditorium was filled with almost 250 students, all first year and second year students. The official Launch was followed by a small motivational speech by Mr. Raghu which ignited the minds of each and everyone present in the hall.

The journey from the conceptualization of idea of forming an “E-Cell @ LIBA” for all the budding entrepreneurs of LIBA to its successful launch, which was the most awaited moment for all ‘E-Cell’ members, was adventurous, breathtaking and a great learning process.

The ‘E-Cell @ LIBA’ has lot of plans in pipeline in order to develop and cultivate the entrepreneurial skills of students which includes some On-Campus and Off-Campus activities. Also coming up is “My Story” sessions where you interact with entrepreneurs, who share their experiences of being an entrepreneur. The biggest event coming up is ‘Business Plan Competition’ which the “E-Cell @ LIBA” is organizing in coordination with “360 Degrees”.

Apart from these there are many more events lined up ,so stay with us, you are about to go on a roller-coaster ride.
