All innovators face obstacles and challenges in getting their ideas to market. Today’s market oriented, globally competitive economy demands the right attitude, knowledge and skills from entrepreneurs to succeed in their ventures. The Wadhwani Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (WCED) fosters and supports this entrepreneurial spirit.

The vision of the WCED is to be a world renowned entrepreneurship centre by nurturing the spirit of enterprise in students and building a network to promote their efforts in the business environment. The WCED also offers entrepreneurs opportunities to learn and to interact with the right sources to build global competitiveness. The Centre has taken up the task of supporting aspiring entrepreneurs throughout the cycle, from conceptualization to grounding of their projects.

One of six Centres of Excellence being set up by the ISB, the WCED takes a holistic approach, covering training, research, mentoring and networking activities. The Centre provides opportunities for real time learning through interactions with some of the world’s best business leaders. The WCED is funded by the Wadhwani Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation set up by Romesh Wadhwani, the founder, Chairman, and CEO of Symphony Technology Group.
