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

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,

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

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...!!!
