Creating a suitable entrepreneurial climate through initiation of policy dialogues, dwelling on varied macro-economic aspects of entrepreneurship and building sustainable entrepreneurship models were key issues dwelt upon by academics, policy makers and economists at a seminar organized by Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Management (VESIM) over February 12-14. Eminent personalities like Dr Satish Modh, Director-VESIM, Mr M.K.Bhoi, Principal Advisor, Monetary Policy Department- RBI, Mr Chandrakant Salunkhe, Founder President- Small & Medium Business Development and Mr K.C.Shashidhar, Exchange Control Officer-RBI & Ex.Chief General Manager-NABARD deliberated at length at the three-day seminar on the importance of creating an entrepreneurial talent pool through the application of diverse social and economic disciplines like marketing, global business, economics & sustainability, banking, finance and social sciences.

Experts at the seminar discussed at length several contemporary issues like customer acquisition challenges in the SME sector, policy and regulatory issues such as ‘Make in India’ and ‘GST’ and its implications on entrepreneurship, human resource planning, creation of a conducive environment for fostering a credible entrepreneurial eco-system and promoting entrepreneurship in rural areas through innovation among rural Dalit women.

The expert discussion platform initiated by VESIM remained united in its assertion that the formulation of a favorable entrepreneurial policy will not only inject increased liquidity in the economy but also will add to the coffers of the government allowing it to allocate funds for developing diverse economic sectors.
