The Future is Entrepreneurship – Lecture meet at Conclave on October 12, 2007 [ 12th October, 2007 ]
Many of the BHS Alumni are Industrialists, Entrepreneurs and many operate small businesses. Many of them joined their parents businesses or started their own after doing B. Com in college. Many have been successful and many are struggling to grow. Growing from 20 to 50 and from 50 to 200 employees is not easy and that is why the BHSA committee felt that a program on Entrepreneurship would be useful for the members who are already in business and who plan to take a plunge sooner or later.
The program was held in Conclave and was very successful. The members were very appreciative of the speakers and wanted more of such programs in future.
