Opportunity brief
About the Program
For seven months, you'll help bring E-Cell, IBS Hyderabad's entrepreneurship events and learning opportunities to your campus. You'll have a mentor to guide you and practical learning modules to work through as you go. The program is free, takes only a few hours a week, and can fit around your classes. You don't need to have been an ambassador before.
What You'll Do

How the Program Benefits You
- Pick up useful skills. The learning modules cover personal branding and LinkedIn, social media and community growth, AI tools, marketing, sales, public speaking, and pitching. You'll have chances to put those ideas into practice.
