Plaksha University Launches UG Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship in Collaboration with UC Berkeley's SCET
The Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship programme is designed to prepare undergraduate students with the knowledge, skills, and entrepreneurial mindset required to adapt to rapidly evolving technology-driven ventures.
Plaksha University has launched a new undergraduate Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship programme in collaboration with UC Berkeley's Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET). The programme aims to enhance the innovation and entrepreneurship skills among the students. The launch of the Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship programme is a part of the renewed partnership between Plaksha University and SCET.
Through this programme, undergraduate students will be provided with the knowledge and skills to achieve an entrepreneurial mindset in this evolving technology-driven environment. The curriculum of the programme will focus on hands-on learning, working on real-world startup projects and assignment simulations. Students will further be able to specialise in their area of interest.
Prof Nandini Kannan, Dean of Academics at Plaksha University said, “At Plaksha, we are committed to creating an ecosystem that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit through real-world experiences, innovative case-based pedagogy, and a focus on venture building. The launch of the new minor is a crucial step in equipping future innovators with the mindset and skills to solve critical global challenges and build impactful ventures.”
Meanwhile, Susan Giesecke, Director of Global Engagement at SCET, has expressed her delight with the collaboration with Plaksha University saying, "We are excited to renew our collaboration and deepen our partnership with Plaksha University by launching the undergraduate minor in technology entrepreneurship. This program offers students a learning experience modelled after Berkeley's successful entrepreneurship curriculum, with a focus on building problem-solving and leadership skills. It is a pivotal step in preparing the next generation of Indian technology leaders."
