Shanthi IT Solution Partners with Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, Anna University Chennai

 


There are moments when two teams meet and the spark is obvious that’s exactly what happened when Shanthi IT Solution teamed up with the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development at Anna University, Chennai. We didn’t just sign papers; we started a conversation about mentoring, real projects, and practical steps that help students turn ideas into small businesses.

students often have great ideas but don’t always know where to begin. That’s where this collaboration comes in. We brought practical workshops, live project briefs, and honest career chats. To be fair, the best outcomes came from simple things a one-hour mock pitch that revealed gaps, a hands-on session that showed how to scope a minimum viable product, or a panel where industry folks said what they actually look for in junior hires.

You might not realize this, but entrepreneurship is as much about mindset as it is about skill sets. So we focused as much on confidence and resilience as we did on coding standards or go-to-market steps. A student once told me after a session, “I thought entrepreneurship was only for the brave now I know it’s for the prepared.” That line stuck with us.

Here are the core elements of the collaboration:

  • Mentorship clinics: one-to-one guidance from Shanthi IT Solution professionals to refine ideas and roadmaps.
  • Hands-on workshops: practical sessions on product design, prototyping, and basic business modeling.
  • Live industry briefs: real problems given to student teams so they can build solutions that mean something.
  • Soft-skill labs: sessions on pitching, communication, and team collaboration.
  • Networking opportunities: introductions to local incubators, mentors, and potential early-stage partners.

They went from vague concepts to functioning demos, sometimes in a single weekend. That hustle testing, failing, improving felt like the real point of all this. We provided frameworks and critique, but the students brought the grit.

Shanthi IT Solution believes collaborations like this should feel organic: mutual learning, measurable outcomes, and room for experimentation. The Centre for Entrepreneurship Development brought institutional support and quality checks; we brought startup energy and practical pathways. When both sides care enough to show up fully, good things happen.

Here’s to more projects that start as classroom conversations and become real ventures. If you met one of these students a year from now, don’t be surprised if they tell you their first client came from a workshop we ran together.
