Dr Harjinder Singh Cheema shares the mantra of becoming a successful entrepreneur with the youth

Today at IET Bhaddal Technical Campus, under the guidelines of I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University, as part of the Orientation Program for students admitted to Session 2025–26, a guest lecture was organized on the topic “Let’s Create Entrepreneurs to Employ the Youth.”

The program featured Punjab’s source of inspiration for entrepreneurs and Chairman of Cheema Boilers Limited, Dr. Harjinder Singh Cheema, as the keynote speaker.

The program began with a welcome address by Charanjit Kaur, Assistant Professor, who warmly welcomed the chief guest, faculty, staff, and students, and shed light on Dr. Cheema’s biography

In his address, Dr. Cheema shared with students his personal journey, the challenges he faced as an entrepreneur, and how to turn a small business into a large success. Drawing on his vast experience, he gave detailed insights on the first steps to starting a business, identifying market opportunities, and risk management.
