We envisioned the E-Cell as a platform where any kind of help at any stage can be given, it must be able to provide one with the right kind of resources or at least be able to guide one to the right path. We stepped further with the ideology of educating, mentoring and providing enterprising resources to budding entrepreneurs. In the light of this, we established an Incubation Center, and a strong network of Knowledge Mentors. We are continuously updating ourselves with the latest needs of our target audiences and trying our best to meet their expectations.

Thus the IEM E-Cell has been a major breakthrough in the history of IEM, providing students the encouragement and platform to begin their own start -ups.
