During Milaap’14 (Feb 22-23, 2014), student members of the Entrepreneurs’ Club (E-Node), set up their first business expo, “THE ILLUMINA”. It was designed to be a platform to experience the thrill of running a business venture.

The business expo was structured in such a way that there was participation from many students outside the club. A few businesses included selling bags, handicrafts, dress, among others. The most important lesson from this venture was that running a business was a very tricky act, and required a high level of flexibility in thinking and action.

At the end of the two days of the expo, the team came to terms with their own limitations, which would be shared in the further sessions of the club, with a view to overcome these. It was their first taste of how tough and demanding business was.
