The August Fest – Celebrating Art & Entrepreneurship In Hyderabad

To get an engineering degree from the IITs or an MBA degree from the IIMs or a degree in fashion technology from the NIFTs is almost every Indian’s desire. Inspite of all the muddle, we have seen hundreds of engineers turn into entrepreneurs to successful business magnets, MBA graduates turning into artists, fashion designers turning into filmmakers. To seize their dreams and chase them was all it took for the likes of the Sabeer Bhatia’s and Chetan Bhagat’s to whom we look up to as ideals.

This August, Hyderabad is gearing up to celebrate art and entrepreneurship. With more than 1500 amazing entrepreneurs, filmmakers, photographers, designers and more ISB is ready to host the 2 day carnival in partnership with TiE (The indus Enterprises), NASSCOM 10,000 Start-ups and Progress Softwares.
