India is tipped to beat Japan in Quality and US in Service n Support...u think Final years students will have enough exposure n mental growth to achieve this level of committment. For small Enterprises starting with late growth visions ... u can use college incubation centres....
But I would support Amar Deep ... because exposure to handling small small things, and different pressures and processes are very crucial for a Healthy n growing company.
Experience in people management is very crucial n exposure to Industry processes n procedures are very necessary....
But if you r into creative n innovative Product development or Service Delivery...then u can leverage on experience factor...
Anyways,
All the Best for your venture...
Even I am a Mechanical Engineer (2004) strating my comapny by March.
