Students have ample opportunities to become entrepreneurs and they should become job providers than seekers, said Avinash Krishnalal Dalal, President of Micro, Small and Medium Entrepreneurs’ (MSME) Association while addressing the students and alumni members of GITAM University, Hyderabad chapter, on its premises on Saturday.

He inaugurated the Hyderabad chapter along with Pro-Vice-Chancellor N. Shiva Prasad, Mahesh Bank chairman Ramesh Kumar Bhang, Alumni Association president Trinadha Rao, principal Ch. Sanjay and others.

“I began my entrepreneurship with ₹8,000 in addition to ₹40,000 loan from Dena Bank. Even Union Defence Minister Parikar and Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari started their carrier as small entrepreneurs,” he said, adding that the Union Government was promoting MSME, the backbone of Indian economy with 50% of exports.

MUDRA Bank launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi offers loan from ₹50,000 to ₹2 crore without any collateral security. “Grab the opportunity and become a job provider,” he told the students. He asked them not to get frustrated when faced with small failures as they strengthen their motive to reach the target.

They now run the company which has about ₹100 crore turnover. “Had I been an employee, I may not be here in front of you,” he said, adding that they were ready to provide opportunity to work for five students from GITAM every year.
