New Delhi: SVKM's NMIMS has signed an MoU with Sobus Ventures Studio to create a Centre of Excellence (CoE) on its Shirpur campus. The Centre of Excellence will help students get hands-on experience of entrepreneurship and will give them a jumpstart in their idea with the right framework and knowledge.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between Dr. Sharad Mhaiskar, Pro Vice-Chancellor, NMIMS University, and Digvijay Choudhari, Director, Sobus Ventures. 

“NMIMS has taken various initiatives in terms of global linkages, programs, curriculum development, and student development,” says Dr. Sharad Mhaiskar, Pro Vice Chancellor, NMIMS. 

“This initiative has transformed NMIMS into a globalised centre of learning and provided students with exposure to research, academics, and practical aspects. This MOU with Sobus will help us in developing and delivering curriculum, workshops, and training programs and activities. We are positive that this collaboration with Sobus will help in achieving our objectives to build a powerful innovation and entrepreneurial campus ecosystem.” he added.

Uplifting the local entrepreneur community in the region will also be a focus of the CoE. Acceleration Programs and incubation facilities would help them explore their earning capabilities.

“In India today, we are seeing immense economic growth. It is the third largest startup ecosystem globally. We are also a young nation with 50 percent of the population under 25 years of age,” shares Digvijay Choudhari, Director, Sobus Ventures Studio. “As a young nation, we have huge aspirations but fewer opportunities and options. To truly emerge as a strong country, every citizen needs to become a part of the India Story. This partnership aims to support NMIMS in setting up a region-specific start-up ecosystem with a focus on social enterprises. Our goal is to strengthen the local economy by creating an end-to-end business ecosystem for NMIMS.”
