Colleges have been in a state of a complicated relationship with entrepreneurs for quite some time now. Part of this is due to the several media reports on college dropouts who founded industry giants such as Uber, Apple, Microsoft, Dell, Facebook and Oracle. A typical college mentality may not be suited for the world of entrepreneurship where challenges are multi-pronged and very different from the linear stream of academics. Thus a number of colleges are developing full-fledged entrepreneurship programmes in order to fuel the start-up culture. Entrepreneurships in many ways is about business innovation and developing such a mindset becomes critical for academic programmes. Such colleges are also venturing to generate seed funds for projects in order to lure business minded students.
