Testimonials from some of the IIMK Alumni who have opted for entrepreneurship. *Anchit Gupta, Anchit Consulting Group* “The best part about IIMK is that it made me into a more responsible person by giving me the freedom to think for myself rather than force things upon me. This is what makes IIMK students work professionally be it in their startup or in a job. Also, courses like LIDA and Discovering Self, which are not essentially academic in nature, play an important role in furthering the thinking process among the students. But above all, I will always miss the beautiful campus. It was a pleasure spending two important years of my life at such a wonderful location and a wonderful institute.” *Nagesh Banchhor, Pro C Education Pvt. Ltd.* “The course on Leadership inculcated the seeds of entrepreneurship in me, and in May 2003, I, along with a batchmate, Rupesh, ventured into the unknown. Both Rupesh and I have realized the importance of ‘teamwork’ during our stint as entrepreneurs, a virtue which was inculcated at IIMK. Management is all about dealing with people, and entrepreneurship is no exception. The tough delivery schedules at campus, the sense of achievement in beating the deadline and the courage to accomplish the most challenging tasks are some of the learnings we took away from IIMK.” *Nilanjan Sengupta, Jayneil Technologies Pvt. Ltd.* “IIMK opened me up to a world of new possibilities. It made me think in ways I had never contemplated before. It gave me a platform for launching my own company, ‘Jayneil Technologies Pvt. Ltd.’ followed by its sister companies ‘Jayneiltech International’ and ‘Jayneil Documentation and Validation Services’. I was a B. Pharm and identified Design and Documentation in Pharma plants as my core competence. In the last four years we have completed about 5 small and big projects in India and Bangladesh and we are now a Rs. 20 Mn company.” *Kishan Kumar V.L, Yellow Food* “During the two years that I spent at IIMK, a slow and gradual change happened in me that gave me the courage to refuse a job offer, and take the plunge instead. A classmate, Mr. Krishna Swamy and I joined hands in our entrepreneurial effort. Our company, Yellow Food is into food processing and exports premium quality banana chips to Middle East.”
