The Entrepreneur Society Story

More than just a society, we are the first entrepreneur society of sri lankan schools, with a dynamic community dedicated to empowering the next wave of student innovators and founders.

Our History

Founded in 2023 by a small group of passionate students, the Entrepreneur Society emerged from a recognized need for a dedicated platform supporting aspiring entrepreneurs at Nalanda. What started with informal meetups quickly grew into organized workshops and speaker events, driven by student demand for practical skills and networking opportunities.

Current Status & Focus

Today, the Society boasts over 50 active members across various disciplines. We offer a comprehensive suite of programs, including:

  • Regular skill-building workshops (marketing, finance, pitching).
  • High-profile speaker sessions with successful business leaders.
  • Networking events connecting students, alumni, and industry professionals.
  • A growing mentorship program.

We actively collaborate with interschool students and external partners to provide maximum value and opportunity for our members.
