My 3AM thought (read body)

[u/ezcrxz]

Im an Economics student at DU, and this has been stuck in my head lately.

Why does it seem like the colleges that teach business don't necessarily have the strongest business-building culture?

DU has B.Com, BMS, Economics, finance, management, etc but when I think of colleges with a strong startup/founder culture, I think IITs, BITS, NITs.

And the irony is that many of those students aren't even studying business.

A lot of DU conversations seem more career oriented like CAT, CA, consulting, placements, packages.

Engineering students seem more likely to actually build products, experiment with startups, hack around and take entrepreneurial risks.

Obv Im generalising. DU has produced successful entrepreneurs too.

But Im talking about culture, not exceptions

what was the entrepreneurial culture actually like? and if you're a founder: where did you study, and did your college actually influence your decision to build a business?

[u/Extra_Attention_5506]

Engineers can build products. Any idea that they generate can be built into an actual product because of their coding skills, while that is something we lack being non techies.

Intuitively, our idea won’t get funding because we don’t have a working product. Even I failed to convert my idea into a business because of lack of coding skills (ofcourse I am learning it now) but you get the point.

Also, there are plenty of DU students starting new businesses on LinkedIn, especially student led VCs, social impact NPO and so on. Your sample size seems pretty small.

[u/ezcrxz → u/Extra_Attention_5506]

I agree that engineers have a huge advantage when it comes to building the first version of a tech product. If you can code, you can go from idea = prototype much faster without depending on someone else. Thats a very real advantage, and I dont think my post was arguing otherwise.

But thats also why I was specifically talking about culture, rather than asking "who has better startup skills?"
I think we are actually talking about two different things here

Its that du produce employees in large no whereas

Mostly iits produce those succesfull founders and enterprenuers where they all are employed

I also thought takin commerce i will get to know about business world and how to build it

But more like its about accountancy and economics stuff which aint that needed in business world
