Abstract
A crucial step towards building a vibrant innovation ecosystem at IIT Kanpur was to energize and enthuse the student community with entrepreneurial zeal and to empower them to think out of the box and create, innovate and deliver. It all started with Magabucks event in 2000 and gradually took the shape of Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) that today boasts of having supported 30+ start-ups from within and outside the institute. This article outlines the growth of E-Cell and the success stories that emerged out of this initiative.
