The resource person, Mr. Mick Walvisch, Senior Expert from PUM, Netherlands, shared his insights on the Train the Trainer Program in collaboration with PUM. Drawing from over 60 years of experience, he emphasized innovation, teamwork, and confidence as key drivers of entrepreneurial success. He urged students to embrace communication skills, modern marketing tools, and the need for “Next Generation Incubators” to keep pace with changing times.
Twelve student teams presented business ideas ranging from home bakeries and herbal products to digital marketing and salons. Mr. Walvisch encouraged students to refine these ideas with faculty mentorship. He also shared his spiritual experience of visiting the Golden Temple, calling it a source of peace and clarity.
