GIBS IRE School Testimonial
IRE Program is a very unique and impressive idea. It can help shape the student's minds and ideologies, from the way we think and the way we act or respond to a situation, every single aspect which can draw us to a better side of everything. This particular program is mainly focused on building strong minds and enhances the ability to think out of the box.

IRE stands for innovation, research, and entrepreneurship. It is a school of thought which has been specially introduced by GIBS for the betterment of the management students. It is a unique developed by the esteemed institute which is the first of its kind in the entire country. I, as an individual feel that IRE takes the curriculum as a whole to the next level because the activities not only involve quick thinking and brainstorming but also provides us with the hands-on experience wherein lies the core value of the initiative. Hence IRE proves to be an asset when it comes to being future-ready.

IRE (Innovation, Research, Entrepreneurship) School is one of the elements that make me stand different in the crowd. Innovation taught me how to bridge a gap between the problems by providing a better solution or by improvising the existing solution, In Research I learned various tools like Jamovi, Zotero, and R language. Entrepreneurship taught me how to monetize the idea, I learned about sales pitches, community building etc. The task assigned during IRE school made me be a team player as well I learned to lead my team. It was a wonderful experience I gained in this journey and I would like to thank GIBS for this opportunity.

No degree is complete if you are not innovative enough, do not know how to perform in-depth research, and have the essential experience to perform tasks assigned to you. GIBS is one college that ensures you excel in each of these areas. Giving students a blank slate to let their thoughts run wild and fill the slate by their vivid imaginations of a product that is not yet available or released into the market, assigning students with distinctive topics to research on and come up with a comprehensive, exhaustive & elaborate report of their findings, dividing a class into groups. Every student with equal skillset & chisel us into industry-ready professionals.

To begin with it was a great experience having the course of IRE with the best trainers for us. In the era of startups and innovation IRE was a helpful tool for all of us. In a way, it gave us proper guidance and proper shape to present ourselves in this competitive world. IRE all the three had a strong and positive impact on us. IRE guided us and cleared our path in the innovative world also helped us teaching the important tools that can be used in the corporate world. On the other part, we have Finishing School which is another plus point for us to take up, hoping we will completely grab the knowledge and become the best version of ourselves.

In an era where Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship are the buzzes, GIBS has given us the opportunity to be a part of the three major pillars I.R.E and have a depth understanding of the same. IRE has definitely made us think out of the box & step into the world of the 21st century with a broader mind. For a first-generation wannabe entrepreneur like myself who’s learning, acquiring new skills & taking risks to create new businesses and opportunities…this program is like a blessing to me.
