The Rise of Student Entrepreneurs

Though employment after education is considered to be one of the most secured mode of
occupation for graduates, in the present era, there is a rise of student entrepreneurs who venture in
to various areas of research. Soundarya Preetha in her article highlights that there is an increased
awareness among students of higher education institutions regarding business ventures and
entrepreneurship. They are interested in various avenues of business such as health care, agriculture
and manufacturing. Though the article is primarily focusing on Coimbatore which has a large number
of higher education institutions, it should be the same with Chennai too. This idea is the basis of this
research. Chennai has a large number of higher education institutions and many students must be
willing to pursue their career in business. And green fashion industry could be one of the promising
areas of business for the budding entrepreneurs and this paper focuses on students’ interest and
awareness on green fashion industry as their potential business venture in the future.
