We asked Aadav how the course helped him so far in his career, and what he told us was so interesting, that we decided to share it with all of you as a success story. Over to Aadav.

I joined the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Law in 2014, at that time I was just out of college after doing my BE in chemical engineering from SASTRA University.  I had a job offer at hand, but I did not want to take up a job as I wanted to start up something of my own.

I was searching the internet for some course which would give me insight about business laws in India and help me set up a startup. When I came across the syllabus of the NUJS diploma course, I was very impressed with it and decided to join the course.

I’m very much satisfied with what the course delivered. It was totally in sync with what was promised in the course curriculum and syllabus. As per me, this Diploma course is a repository of information on how to start a business and laws related to that in India.

The knowledge from the NUJS diploma course helped me set up my first startup. The in-depth knowledge gave me the confidence to present my startup pitch at ebay. Where we even cleared few rounds but, unfortunately, it was shelved due to some reasons.

The knowledge and insight gained from the course helped me advise my friend on his successful startup by the name Brand Konnect which is a brand consulting firm. I still advise him on different aspects of law related to his startup etc.

While in college I never took the initiative in writing, I was more of a speaker and always felt that writing is not interesting. But the drafting exercises in this diploma course were planned so meticulously that I took an interest to writing.

The module on drafting helped me a lot, the drafting exercises taught me how to align and structure my thoughts. The exercises on documentation and agreement were very informative and useful. The modules on trademark, copyright and property laws are very useful from a startup perspective.

As I’m a research analyst, we have to write lots of reports on market research and having done this course is giving me an edge over others.

In market research projects, when we take up a project we have to write the agreement for the client. In this also, this course is coming handy.

I have mentioned the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws in my CV and LinkedIn. In almost all my interviews, I have had questions around this diploma course. People were curious to know about this diploma and we have had discussions about this course.

Once, I went for an interview at Murugappa group and they hired me on the basis of the NUJS diploma. They said that the knowledge I would be bringing through this diploma course would be an added advantage for them. Unfortunately, I could not take up this offer due to some reasons.

I would surely recommend the-the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Law to others, especially to people planning to set up their startups. Startups are almost always in a cash crunch what I would say is that “Instead of hiring someone, take this course and do it yourself. It would save you money and ensure that no one takes you for a ride”.
