On the eve of our 80th Independence Day celebrations, UBS Ludhiana was privileged to host Mr. Shibananda Dash, CEO, Ludhiana Angels Network and Director, MBCIE, as the special resource person for an engaging and thought-provoking session on Entrepreneurship.
Mr. Dash inspired our students to look beyond conventional career paths and embrace the spirit of innovation, independent thinking, risk-taking and value creation. His insights highlighted how entrepreneurship can empower young minds to become not only successful professionals but also job creators, innovators and responsible nation-builders.
The session beautifully connected the spirit of Independence with the spirit of entrepreneurship — the courage to think independently, take initiative, create value and shape one’s own path.
Mr. Dash also encouraged students and people from different walks of life to participate in a 3-day Entrepreneurship Development Program, offering experiential learning through ideation and idea validation, interaction with founders, hands-on workshops, industrial exposure, pitching skills and team-building activities. The program is scheduled from October 2 to October 4, with a program fee of ₹4,000. The program includes stay, food, toolkit and all sessions and activities.
With only 20 teams allowed, each comprising 2–3 members, registrations are on a first-come, first-served basis. The program also offers a ₹50,000 cash prize for the Best Idea/Winner and a completion certificate for participants attending all three days.
The celebrations concluded on a sweet note as students, faculty and staff shared Motichoor Ladoos, celebrating the joy of togetherness and the spirit of our collective journey as one UBS family.
🇮🇳 Think Independent. Create Impact. Build the Future.
Happy 80th Independence Day! 🇮🇳
