Introduction
Established in August 2024, E-Cell YBPP (Entrepreneurship Cell) at Y.B. Patil Polytechnic, Akurdi, Pune, was born out of a necessity—to fulfill a task that required forming and promoting an entrepreneurship cell. Starting with just six second-year diploma students in mechanical engineering, E-Cell YBPP has grown into a dynamic platform fostering innovation and leadership among students.
Our Journey
- The Beginning: Initially, six second-year students ran the E-Cell, promoting it across social media, the college campus, and nearby cities.
- A Collaborative Expansion: Later, third-year students participating in IIT Bombay's Campus Ambassador Program were tasked to establish an E-Cell. With guidance from Rahul Baviksar Sir, faculty coordinator, second-year and third-year students merged efforts to form a unified E-Cell YBPP team.
Events and Milestones
E-Cell YBPP has hosted multiple events that have brought entrepreneurial culture to life on campus:
- Teacher's Day Celebration: Honoring educators and their contribution.
- Shark Tank YBPP: A creative platform for pitching innovative ideas.
- Engineer's Day: Celebrating the spirit of engineering and innovation.
- ILLUMINATE Entrepreneurship Workshop: In collaboration with E-Cell IIT Bombay and NEC, this was the flagship event, providing students with insights into entrepreneurship.
Current Team
E-Cell YBPP is now a robust team of 16 members, guided by Rahul Baviksar Sir, who serves as the faculty coordinator and chief event head. The team comprises second- and third-year students working together to organise events, develop skills, and promote entrepreneurship within and beyond the campus.
