Centre for Emerging Digital Grid and E-Mobility (EDGE)

The University promotes students to work on project basis with startups and have a real-life experience of working with and for entrepreneurs.

We have a growing network of high-profile entrepreneurs coming from different sectors for the student entrepreneurs to work with. These identified mentors help aspiring entrepreneurs transform their innovative ideas into viable ventures through their valuable inputs.

The ED Cell promotes and projects webinars in the areas of funding, hiring, team building, intellectual property, product management, entrepreneurial marketing, etc. It also facilitates completion of the MOOCs offered by leading MOOC providers across the globe..

Several workshops are organized at VU as part of the capability building interventions. Such workshops are conducted by trainers, expert faculty and inhouse faculty on themes like idea generation, business model generation, business plan preparation, pitching, etc.

The University has a deferred placements policy as a safety net to those students who want to take up entrepreneurship as a career option right after graduating from VU, but often hold back themselves for the fear of failure and losing out on a corporate career.

Entrepreneurs are frequently invited at the University to interact with the students. They share their journey of being an entrepreneur and motivate students towards entrepreneurial options. This aims at inspiring and guiding students to take up entrepreneurship.
