A guest lecture was organized on 25th October 2018. Mr. Nishant Singhania alumni DCE, (Curriculum Manager at Eckovation) was invited to enrich the students regarding new trends.
He explained it's being enthralling to be an entrepreneur. Startup culture supplies high-profile role models who've taken their ideas and turned them into massively successful companies - which strive to retain and scale their entrepreneurial ethos as they grow. And as digital marketing becomes more and more accessible, entrepreneurs can potentially reach a vast audience on a small-and-scrappy budget.
