Welcome to the world of EoT!

The Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow Programme was launched in 2007 by Dhriiti - The Courage Within. The main objective of the programme was to work with youth attached to colleges and universities, motivating them to start their own enterprises and giving them training in the skills required to do so. Since piloting with 2 colleges in Delhi University, EoT has trained over 200 participants in its entrepreneurship skill development programme.

As part of this training, participants are exposed to enterprise visits, entrepreneurship film festivals, guest lectures by eminent industry experts and a unique pedagogy of interactive games and exercises. All participants are also encouraged to initiate live projects where they take a passion and turn it into an enterprise for the duration of the course. These live project ideas range from manufacturing herbal tea masala and handmade jewellery to an online publishing house, a tourist resort, psychological counselling and tarot card reading. Some of these live projects have also been converted into enterprises like the tourist resort and the online publishing house.

This EoT blog aims at creating a space for healthy debate on entrepreneurs, current happening in the world of entrepreneurship, views and counter-views. We will be updating it every two weeks and we hope that you will enjoy and participate in the ongoing discussions. Cheers!
