Chitkara University signs MoU with Founder Startup House to support student entrepreneurs

Chitkara Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CCIE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Founder Startup House to provide aspiring student entrepreneurs and early-stage founders with access to mentorship, founder-focused programs, industry interactions, startup showcases and investor connects.

The collaboration will provide opportunities for students and early-stage founders to engage with mentors, industry representatives and the wider startup ecosystem. It will also include founder-focused programs and platforms for showcasing startups and connecting with potential investors.

Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, President and Co-Founder, Chitkara University, said, “Entrepreneurship requires more than a strong idea.

This collaboration provides another avenue for them to engage with the startup ecosystem and learn from those working in the field.”

Through the MoU, CCIE and Founder Startup House will facilitate mentorship, ecosystem access, industry interactions, startup showcases and investor connects. The collaboration will support students and founders as they develop their ideas and explore opportunities to take them further.

The partnership adds to Chitkara University’s work in innovation and entrepreneurship, with CCIE providing students and early-stage founders opportunities to access mentorship, industry engagement and the wider startup ecosystem.
