The SBSRH community encourages and nurtures an entrepreneurial spirit within SPJIMR, aligning with the institution’s mission of advancing wise innovation. By promoting problem-solving mind-sets and capabilities, it instils a culture of innovation across the SPJIMR community.

SBSRH facilitates networking opportunities, forging connections between the SPJIMR community and potential collaborators, start-up founders, investors and mentors. This engagement extends to faculty and students, who collaborate with the Hub’s community on joint research projects and case studies. SBSRH hosts a spectrum of mixer events that bring together a diverse array of start-up founders, industry leaders, investors and academicians. These gatherings facilitate meaningful discussions on pressing issues currently shaping the landscape, creating valuable networking opportunities and knowledge exchange.

Students gain valuable exposure to diverse entrepreneurship activities, stimulating innovation-driven thinking. The Hub’s commitment to nurturing an entrepreneurial culture extends beyond mere participation, providing students access to infrastructure and resources to develop their start-up ideas. Events such as hackathons, speaker series, bootcamps and webinars not only attract applications for the EEIR programme but also inspire students through successful start-up stories, motivating them to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations. PGDM students actively participate in the FinNovate Accelerator as interns, while others collaborate with start-ups on various live projects. These initiatives deepen the engagement between the SPJIMR community and external stakeholders.

SBSRH operates as a nexus for sharing experiences, best practices and lessons learned, benefiting start-ups and the broader community alike. The Hub meticulously curates a dedicated curriculum offering deep insights across pivotal areas such as Product Market Fit, Customer Segmentation, Product, Financing and Valuation. SPJIMR students actively engage in crafting diverse research reports and case studies focusing on recent trends within the start-up ecosystem. These resources seamlessly integrate into the curriculum workshops of the accelerator programmes, enriching the learning journey for participants.

Alumni play diverse roles within the ecosystem, serving as guest speakers, mentors, partners and even as applicant start-ups themselves. Leveraging the Hub, they reinforce their ventures while actively contributing to a culture of lifelong learning and collaboration.
