HMA launches EDP to empower students

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Management Association (HMA) on Wednesday inaugurated its flagship Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) at the London Management Academy, Hyderabad. The three-day immersive workshop is designed to nurture entrepreneurial thinking, develop leadership skills, and transform students from job-seekers into future job-creators. The launch also saw the formal inauguration of the HMA Student Chapter and the Oath Ceremony.

HMA President Alwala Devender Reddy said, “The EDP is not just a workshop; it is a real-time learning experience that transforms the way students think. By engaging directly with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators, students gain practical insights into building, scaling, and sustaining businesses. This exposure, coupled with emerging technologies, equips them with the confidence, vision, and skills to become future entrepreneurs who will create jobs, drive innovation, and contribute meaningfully to national growth.” With over 65 per cent of India’s population under 35, the nation’s economic future depends on channeling youth energy into innovation and enterprise. HMA’s EDP aims to bridge this gap by providing students with an entrepreneurial mindset, strategic tools, and mentorship from seasoned professionals.
