The Ahalia School of Commerce and Mathematics organised a Motivation and Interaction Session titled “Student Startup Connect” on 16 January 2026 in connection with National Startup Day 2026. The programme was conducted at the Seminar Hall with the objective of promoting entrepreneurial awareness and encouraging peer learning among students.

The session aimed to provide a platform for students who are actively involved in startup or business activities to share their experiences and motivate fellow students. The programme highlighted the importance of innovation, initiative, and real-world exposure in today’s evolving business environment.

During the session, student entrepreneurs shared their entrepreneurial journeys, including how they initiated their ventures, challenges faced, learning experiences, and future aspirations. The interaction helped students gain practical insights into startup culture and understand the realities of managing business activities alongside academics.

The programme was interactive and engaging, encouraging open discussion and active participation from students. It served as a motivating experience and inspired students to explore entrepreneurship and self-employment opportunities.

The event was coordinated by Dr. Nimy K C and Mr. Sreenath K was successfully conducted in line with the objectives of National Startup Day, reinforcing ASCM’s commitment to nurturing innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and experiential learning among students.
