EDI has established effective partnerships with RSETIs across the State, TANSTIA and

District as well as Product MSME Associations, Universities, TiE, BYST, National and State

level research institutions, etc., over the last several years.

Government of Tamil Nadu had sanctioned Rs 1.90 crores for implementing

various EDPs in 2015-16. EDI also accessed support of NiMSME and Tamil Nadu Skill

Development Corporation for various programs and I&C department for UYEGP, PMEGP

and NEEDS entrepreneurs. EDI is also proposing to switch to a process and life-cycle based

training framework in 2016-17 from disconnected training programs.

EDI has prepared a Strategic plan 2016-21 with a view to growing an aspirational

entrepreneurship culture in Tamil Nadu and improving the ecosystem for new entrepreneurs

through Colleges through the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Program

(IEDP) and sensitisation of public servants on the need to improve Ease of Doing Business

(EoDB) rankings by implementing reforms including online services for entrepreneurs. EDI

is primarily focused on supporting entrepreneurs at the bottom of the pyramid.

Simultaneously, supporting innovative high technology companies is an important task for

enabling creation of new high skilled jobs and growing the economy. EDI has commenced

work on a Cluster Development & Facilitation Program. EDI also commenced interacting

and working with TABCEDCO, TAHDCO, DDAW, RD, etc., to enable use of uniform

methodologies for entrepreneur training and facilitation.

I wish to place on record the outstanding work done by my predecessor Mrs.

Smita Nagaraj, IAS in putting in place a robust system, initiating efforts such as EBAC, etc. I

also wish to commend officers and staff of EDI and partner agencies such as Department of

Industries & Commerce for their good work, and specially Mrs. Shajeevana, Additional

Director and Mrs. Kalaiselvi, Accounts Officer for their untiring efforts in putting together

this first Annual report in 16 years of existence, with the idea of improving documentation,

besides transparency. EDI hopes to strengthen and deepen its programs with support of its

7. ROAD MAP FOR 2016-17

EDI has prepared a comprehensive Strategic Plan 2016-21 for implementation of various

training, facilitation, mentoring, networking, celebration programs and documentation of

entrepreneurship and innovation focused on bringing about a new shift in the

entrepreneurship ecosystem in the State. (http://www.editn.in/pages/view/strategic-planning).

Proposals for funding this Strategic Plan is pending in Government.

Entrepreneurship Development Programs

Based on the Strategic Plan 2016-2017, EDI implemented life-cycle based facilitation

services for entrepreneurs, focusing on specific needs at every stage of enterprise

development.

A one day awareness camp was organised jointly with District MSME associations in

85 locations across the State in June and July 2016 in which 9409 persons

participated. These prospective entrepreneurs were briefed about the benefits and

challenges of starting businesses, steps to start a business, entrepreneurial

competencies to be developed and Government schemes.

In the second stage, five-day business model and plan preparation camps were

organised in collaboration with Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs)

in 33 locations in August-October 2016 wherein 759 persons attended and where

assisted to prepare their business plans and applications for loans under various

Government schemes.

The Help Desk at EDI Chennai campus which commenced in 2015-16, assisted and

guided 744 potential entrepreneurs from till date. These candidates were supplied a

copy of the EDI Entrepreneurs Handbook and referred for an EDI training program,

either an awareness camp or the Business Model camp, based on the stage of ideation

of the individuals.

First generation entrepreneurs continue to have difficulties in selecting and finalizing

their business idea and model. To help them, EDI has setup a Business Opportunity

Guidance Centre in EDIs campus. An online database of business plans have been set

up as part of the EDI portal. Further, EDI proposes to organize a series of sub-sector

specific technical workshops for entrepreneurs to give them an understanding of

markets, technology options, machinery selection process and costing of projects.

A pilot walk-in enterprise clinic is being run in Chennai jointly with Bharat Yuva

Shakti Trust (BYST) every Thursday evening at EDI campus since June 2016 and 376

prospective entrepreneurs have been counseled till date by experts for fine tuning their

business proposals. This program is being expanded to 10 districts under the Business

Facilitation Services Program (BFSP) in collaboration with MSME District or

Product Associations.

Under the flagship NEEDS program, 2268 entrepreneurs have been trained from

2013-14 to 2015-2016. In 2016-17, so far 373 applicants sanctioned loans under

NEEDS have been trained. Similarly, 1656 UYEGP entrepreneurs and 407 PMEGP

entrepreneurs have been provided training for a period of 6 days and 10 days

respectively in 2016-17.

New entrepreneurs under the above schemes have been attached to experienced

industry professionals and entrepreneurs to receive mentoring support during the

initial years of the business. Entrepreneurship Development Institute has created an

online volunteer-mentors platform (http://www.editn.in/pages/view/mentoring ) for

registering mentors. Mentors will be oriented, after which they can provide free

mentoring services through a combination of telephonic interaction, personal visit by

mentor to the mentee‟s place of business and vice versa.

The Global Entrepreneurship Index 2017 has indicated that though India has moved

up by 29 ranks to 69th

position worldwide, areas like networking skills, start-up skills,

opportunity perception, risk taking strategy and technology adoption, etc., are areas of

weakness. Taking into account the changing needs of the market, operating MSMEs

are provided with short training opportunities from half-day to 5 days on a variety of

topics digital marketing, sales & marketing strategy, export-import procedures,

insurance and claims management, etc., across the State. More such short courses are

planned in the coming months

A monthly networking meet is being organized by TiE and EDI at EDI‟s campus

every second Friday to enable entrepreneurs to exchange cards and build on each

other connections. EDI proposes to extend this to other districts under the BFSP

program in 2017.

It is proposed to organize in March 2017 an Annual MSME and Startup Entrepeneurs

Summit at Chennai to recognize, celebrate, document and discuss successful

entrepreneurship and prepare a road map for stakeholders to grow the ecosystem

further.

Cluster Development Program

Entrepreneurship Development is now taking steps to support MSME Clusters through a

Cluster Development Program (http://www.editn.in/pages/view/msme-clusters ) from the

stage of its formation to reach sustainable growth through training workshops for Special

Purpose vehicle (SPV) members, cluster officials with assistance of Foundation for MSME

Clusters (FMC), Delhi. EDI is also working jointly with National Productivity Council

(NPC) in implementing „Lean Manufacturing Competiveness Scheme‟ (LMCS) at cluster

levels and with National Institute of Design in implementing „Design Clinic Scheme (DCS)‟.

The „Student Project Design‟ program will be implemented under DCS is done through IEDP

Colleges of EDI.

As part of an effort to promote innovation and research efforts by MSMEs, EDI has also

commenced coordination with the Global Innovation and Technology Alliance (GITA) to

channelize funds from TADF and TAFP as well as many other multilateral sources for R&D

by MSMEs. A workshop was held jointly with TANSTIA-FNF and GITA to promote these

opportunities amongst MSMEs.

Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship Development Program

Entrepreneurship Development Institute, Chennai is supporting creation of an entrepreneurial

& innovative ecosystem in Universities, Colleges, Polytechnics and ITIs through training and

sensitising top-management, training faculty in learning-by-doing methodologies and raising

student competencies in entrepreneurship and creativity through online entrepreneurship

learning courses in college campuses in collaboration with Wadhwani Foundation – National

Entrepreneurship Network (WF-NEN). Under the Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Development Program (IEDP) (http://www.editn.in/pages/view/college-iedp )launched in

2016-17, leading colleges in Chennai, Thanjavur, Madurai, Salem and Coimbatore have been

selected as regional hubs for to support 20-25 colleges in each region to support student or

alumni entrepreneurs within and around the campus to launch their businesses and catalyse

IEDP – Student E-leaders Workshop

“The 2 Day E-Leader Workshop which was conducted on 22nd and 23rd December

2016 at Anna University Chennai was very useful to us. All the sessions were very

informative and precise. We had the opportunity to meet such great people and

successful entrepreneurs. This workshop helped us a lot regarding the E-Cell

structure, activities etc. We learnt how to run E-Cell successfully. And more than that

we were trained on some entrepreneurship activities which made the session very

interactive. And mainly we got a clear idea about the role of an E-Leader. On the

whole we had a great experience at Anna University. We will definitely use this to

bring our E-Cell to the next level and create successful entrepreneurs...!!! Thank

you...!!!
