The Department of Business Administration, LU, along with the Lucknow sub-chapter of TiE, an association of entrepreneurs, organised a seminar for college as well as school students, and budding entrepreneurs.

Titled, ‘My Story’, the event saw two successful entrepreneurs of the city, Rajesh Ramchandani and Pankaj Agarwal, addressing the gathering and sharing with them their journeys.

While Pankaj spoke about his experiences in the education sector, Rajesh narrated his remarkable journey from a small town boy to a globe-trotting industrialist. The speeches had their share of emotional as well as humorous moments, and were thoroughly appreciated by the audience.

The objective of the event was to inspire management students to take to entrepreneurship rather than pursue the time-honoured goal of getting a ‘good job’.

The event was well attended by students from LUMBA and other management institutes, as well as by members of Lucknow Management Association’s Young Managers Forum.

Sachin Sahni, member of TiE took care of the proceedings along with Khushal Bhargava. Prof Medhavi, the Head of the Department of Business Administration of Lucknow University also addressed the audience.

The event concluded with the students of a city school giving a presentation on entrepreneurship, led by their principal Dr Manjula Goswami.
