REPORT

The students first visited Edventure Park office where they were welcomed and were given a brief

introduction about the company origin, vision and mission of the Edventure Park, saying that it is an

India’s first student-focused startup incubator which is a non – academic and of 18 months. He, along with

team members, interacted about the work patterns and techniques used in the company. Whatever your

goals, Edventure Park offers a true end-to-end traceability solution that allows you to expand your

ideology and bring your ideas to life.

We were guided by a host who explained in detail about the Pre-Incubational Program. He gave an

overview of the company and the founder of the company, Mr. Meraj Faheem (CEO).

It was an interactive session between students and the host. The host glanced at how we can expand our

ideas in an innovative way, about how we can start our own start-up and become an entrepreneur. He also

told the story of the founder, which inspired the students from being a college student to overcome his

ideas of ups downs and be successful person. The host conveyed to us how the ideology of the

entrepreneurs was decided by society based on the problem statement.

A student (Ms. Arma , 3 rd MSDS) from our college is currently working as an entrepreneur who shared her

experiences of how she got started as an entrepreneur and how the company supported her ideas. Then

students were divided into groups and had a tour of the office and activity areas.

The students were then taken to the hardware lab at 12:35 and were shown the projects they had created.

They gave a quick tour of the office (seminar hall, working area andexperimental area). Due to time

constraints as there were many things to watch and ask, we had a glanceat all the displayed items in the

lab. The students had a small preview of space saving and budget friendly dishwasher, a digital clock and

anelectricbike.

Feedback:The field trip ignited passion in the students and encouraged them to think big. It was an

exhilarating experience for the students, and we had exposure to understand things better. The session was

very informative and thought provoking. The speaker was fervent and the information session was both

witty and informative. The speaker sparked a renewed interest in innovation and entrepreneurship. The

overall goal of the trip was met.
