Bring world-class entrepreneurship to your campus without building it yourself
Most students graduate without ever trying to build
Entrepreneurship is often taught as theory, if at all. Very few students get the chance to explore ideas, test them, and learn what it actually takes to build something of their own.
Wadhwani Ignite changes that.
A real entrepreneurship experience, not just a course
Wadhwani Ignite gives you access to a world-class entrepreneurship university experience, delivered online or through live on-campus engagements.
You learn directly from entrepreneurs, work on real problems, and build practical skills alongside your studies. You can start without a startup idea, move at your own pace, and return anytime.
