How GIBS Bangalore Helps You Build Entrepreneurial Skills Through IRE School

In today’s fast-paced world, just having a degree isn’t enough. What really matters is the ability to think differently, solve real problems, and create something of your own. If you're someone who dreams of starting your own business or becoming a future leader, then GIBS B-School Bangalore has something special for you - it's called the IRE School.

But what exactly is IRE School? Let’s break it down in a way that’s simple and exciting.

What is IRE School at GIBS?

IRE stands for Innovation, Research, and Entrepreneurship - three powerful pillars that can shape your career, not just as a job-seeker but as a job-creator.

At GIBS, IRE is not just a subject. It’s a full-fledged initiative, woven into your daily learning experience. It helps you:

•  Think like an innovator

•  Research like a problem-solver

•  Act like an entrepreneur

It’s not about textbooks and theory - it’s about hands-on learning, real projects, and turning ideas into action.

What Will You Learn?

At the IRE School, you get trained in:

1. Design Thinking & Creativity

You learn how to find solutions by putting yourself in the user’s shoes. This skill is used by big companies like Apple and Google - and now, you’ll use it too.

2. Business Model Development

Have a business idea? IRE will teach you how to shape that idea into a working business plan, from zero to launch.

3. Market Research Skills

You’ll explore how to find real demand for your product or service, study customer behavior, and test ideas - just like real startups do.

4. Pitching & Fundraising

Ever watched Shark Tank? Through IRE, you’ll learn how to pitch your startup idea to investors, how to raise funds, and how to grab attention with confidence.

5. Mentoring & Incubation

GIBS invites startup founders, CEOs, and industry mentors to guide you. You can also get incubated within GIBS if your idea shows strong potential.

Why This Matters for You

Whether or not you start your own company, the entrepreneurial mindset is valued everywhere. Employers love candidates who can:

• Solve problems independently

• Think creatively

• Take initiative

• Lead projects

That’s exactly what IRE teaches you.

Real Outcomes, Not Just Theory

Many GIBS students have gone on to:

• Launch startups while still studying

• Win national innovation competitions

• Build confidence through real business pitches

• Intern with startup founders and CEOs

• Build a network of like-minded creators and professionals

And the best part? IRE training happens every week - not just once a semester. It’s part of your PGDM journey from day one.

Final Thoughts

At GIBS B-School Bangalore, you're not just trained to get a job - you're trained to create opportunities. The IRE School gives you the freedom and tools to explore, experiment, and excel.

So, if you’ve got a dream, an idea, or just a spark of curiosity - IRE School is where it starts turning into reality.
