Sir MVIT students get a taste of experiential learning

Students from Sir MVIT, Bangalore report on the activities undertaken on Sunday...

As part of the activities and events being organized by Sir MVIT as a partner in the nation wide campaign -- the Entrepreneurship Week India, the students of the college underwent an interesting day-long exercise in experiential learning to help develop entrepreneurial skills and traits in them.

The exercise that comprised fun games and activities to train students on soft skills, was conducted by Pegasus, a leading outbound training company that started 9 years ago and has more than 2000 development programs to its credit! Pegasus is well known for its training sessions with the Indian cricket team.

A representative of Pegasus said that they believe that there is a big difference in knowing and doing things!
After the games, followed an open discussion on entrepreneurship for students that touched upon issues such as whether students need to wait till they get work experience before they can start their own venture or if they can start off while they are still in college.


The panelists comprised new and successful entrepreneurs that helped add a wide range of perspective to the discussion. Panelists included Captain Ravi, Founder of Pegasus, Mr.Devananda, COO of Squarecircle Event Management, Mr.Rajeev Talreja, Founder of Quantum Leap and Ms. Bhavana, Founder, Club Eventology.
