The Directorate of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (DoEI) at SRM University-AP serves as a pivotal platform fostering collaboration among the three key pillars of a progressive society — Government, Industry, and Academia. Through this strategic synergy, the Directorate aims to cultivate a robust innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem that empowers students to become self-reliant leaders and contributors to national development, in alignment with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
The Directorate’s primary objective is to develop leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurial competencies among students, enabling them to transform ideas into viable solutions and enterprises. To facilitate this, DoEI provides a comprehensive ecosystem of support through:
- Seed Funding and Incubation Facilities to nurture and accelerate promising innovations.
- Mentorship and Advisory Support from experienced entrepreneurs, industry experts, and academicians.
- Networking Opportunities with investors, ecosystem enablers, and startup communities.
- Workshops, Bootcamps, and Competitions that encourage experiential learning and innovation-driven problem solving.
Beyond the campus, the Directorate extends its impact by collaborating with external institutions, entrepreneurship cells, and community organizations to promote knowledge sharing, capacity building, and collective growth. This outward-facing approach reinforces the belief that sustainable development is achieved through collaboration and societal participation, rather than in isolation.
Guided by this philosophy, the Directorate of Entrepreneurship and Innovation continues to drive initiatives that inspire students to innovate, lead, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress, thereby positioning SRM University-AP as a catalyst for entrepreneurial excellence and societal transformation.
