Nadathur S Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL)
Recognizing the growing propensity, particularly among the young and ambitious management and technical graduates, to strike out on their own as entrepreneurs and realizing the crying need of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for critical management inputs as well as business guidance, IIMB set up the Center for Entrepreneurial studies in 1994 with a grant from Canara Bank. The Center mainly focused on offering some successful programmes to SMEs which helped them to accelerate their growth and move to a higher level of performance. The Center also offered courses on Entrepreneurship to the post graduate students of IIMB and supported research.
A generous endowment from Mr. Nadathur S Raghavan, formerly joint managing Director of Infosys Technologies Ltd, in October 1999 has provided the impetus to give a quantum jump to the activities of the Center. The Center, now known as N S Raghavan Center for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL), aims to be a world-class Center of Excellence for seeding, nurturing and promoting entrepreneurship. The activities of NSRCEL are varied and encompass such areas as teaching, research, short-term programmes, seminars/ panel discussions, incubation facilities, etc. "
