From Vision to Venture : AIMS CISU Leading the Entrepreneurship Drive

By assisting and facilitating their nascent and growing enterprises, the AIMS Baramati Center for Incubation and Start-Ups (CISU) seeks to create an ecosystem that binds its students as young, aspiring entrepreneurs. The CISU works to support these entrepreneurs in organizing and merging various strands of excellence, innovation, and entrepreneurship in order to help them put their ideas into action and produce more job creators and social reformists.

The teachers, staff, students, alumni, and industry guests that may apply knowledge and technology advancements to the advancement of society and the country’s economy comprise the CISU ecosystem.

Although the CISU-AIMS was founded in 2017, it has been engaged in entrepreneurship development initiatives since 2011.
