Internships & Jobs

Krea University today took a decisive step in preparing all its students to be entrepreneurial and equipping student founders in their journeys of building impact-first ventures, with the launch of the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE).

The CfE gets support from Catalyst which is a current accelerator that was incubated in IFMR by Niti Aayog and the Atal Innovation Mission. This innovation centre is a one of a kind in the country and it is a great step forward the university's commitment to innovation, entrepreneurship, and venture creation.

The Centre, which at it opening was greatly supported by Caratlane founder Mithun Sacheti, was inaugurated by a day, long event at the Krea University campus that brought together founders, investors, leaders, and operators from across India's startup ecosystem.The event, through panel discussions and fireside chats, reflected on the requirements for building, scaling, and sustaining ventures in the rapidly evolving world.

One of the among other formalities, Mr. Sacheti who launched the centre with the other dignitaries gave an open and honest account of his experience in creating one of India's most successful omni- channel consumer brands, Caratlane.

Emphasizing the role of wise implementation, Sacheti said, "Creating something worthwhile is a great desire, but it is also necessary to have clarity, patience, and a realistic kind of grit. Also, the founders must be brave enough to forge ahead and be willing to do the hard work whenever they are just starting to build."

Along with Mr. Sacheti, the gathering was delighted to have the presence of Mr. Mahavir Sharma (Former Chair TiE Global), Mr. Vishesh Rajaram (Managing Partner, Speciale Invest), Mr. Manish Saksena (Head of Aadyam Handwoven, Aditya Birla Group), Sujay S. & Innu Nevatia (Founders of Zwende), Mr. Vipul Sekhsaria (Founder, Kaleidofin), Mr. Amit Mehta (VC at CampusFund), Mr. Anand Sri Ganesh (CEO, NSRCEL, IIM, Bangalore) and Mr. Kapil Viswanathan (President of IFMR and Governing Member at Krea University). At the launch, Prof. Nirmala Rao, Vice, Chancellor of Krea University, highlighted Krea's vision of instilling an entrepreneurial spirit in each student, "Krea students are very fast at understanding and are enthusiastic about working on socially impactful issues which is, in fact, the primary basis for an entrepreneur's success." With its interwoven liberal education and the Business School and Research centres under one roof, the Krea ecosystem has a unique opportunity to create entrepreneurial leaders."

Mr Lakshmi Narayanan, the Chancellor of Krea University and ex, CEO of Cognizant, pointed out the role of entrepreneurship in developing leaders of the future: "Entrepreneurial skills are one of the indispensable elements for anyone aspiring to become global leaders. At Krea, learning, curiosity, courage and values come together to shape students who can build with purpose."

The Centre's vision is to evolve into a long-term institutional platform to nurture builders and innovators, encouraging students to explore entrepreneurship not only as a career path, but as a mindset that can shape leadership across domains. It would leverage extensively on the existing strength of Catalyst in running successful innovation and entrepreneurship programs at a national level, while drawing from the interwoven academic pedigree of Krea University.

IT giant Wipro has been in touch with the fresh graduates hired under its Work Integrated Learning Programme (WILP) to gauge their interest in switching to full time employment, which would be earlier than the initial plan. The decision is being cited as a result of Wipro's urgent need for talents and quick project ramp- ups in significant verticals, people who know about the matter say.

The WILP of Wipro is for BCA, BSc graduates, and through it, the students can start their career and, at the same time, get a fully funded MTech degree. The programme is a mix of the classroom and the real, world industry, openness to the candidates getting the experience they need plus strengthening their qualifications.

The Times of India has seen an email sent to a WILP candidate that reads, You had earlier accepted an LOI (Letter of Intent) for the WILP programme. Considering your profile and our recent discussion, you are currently under non WILP role consideration, which means a different compensation structure and employment agreement.

Eligibility criteria for the WILP programme are as follows: one must have passed Class 10 and Class 12; hence, if the qualifications are obtained through open schooling or distance education, they will also be considered valid. Under the university regulations, a 60% mark or a 6 CGPA is the minimum requirement for graduates. At present, the WILP programme offers a monthly stipend of Rs 15, 000 to the candidates during the first year, besides a joining bonus of Rs 75, 000. The monthly stipend gradually increases and by the fourth year, it attains the level of Rs 23, 000.

Upon successful completion of the programme and the MTech degree, most of the candidates are presented with the offer of a full time job along with a salary package of Rs 6 lakh per annum.

Industry experts believe that Wipro's move showcases a sign of more hiring flexibility in the Indian IT sector. Companies, thus, manage their talent development programmes for the long run while, at the same time, meeting the demand for the immediate project- driven workforce.

The Suzlon Group has unveiled the Shri Tulsi Tanti Scholarship Program, 2025, 26, which is the company's main educational initiative that attempts to help students of exceptional merit but low income backgrounds who have a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) career ambition. This scholarship commemorates the memory of Tulsi Tanti, the founder of Suzlon and a pioneer of the Indian renewable energy sector. Besides being a visionary leader, Tulsi Tanti was a firm believer in inclusive education, and in this way, his contribution to both the industry and the society is well appreciated.

This initiative is primarily designed to open up educational avenues for students who have great academic capabilities but lack the necessary financial support. In fact, the girls, in STEM, focused scholarship aligns perfectly with Suzlon's overall mission and core values of sustainability, equity, and education as a means of building the nation in the long run.
