I followed Business, entrepreneurship and innovation (EC2020) as one of my enhancement courses.
It was well organized, and the content was amazing. The webinars organized in collaboration with EI club was informative and was really interesting as we got the chance to interact with the business greats like Dr. Beshan Kulapala. Overall, the course was very useful.
