IIM-B offers a program specifically for potential women entrepreneurs.
The Management Program for Women Entrepreneurs (MPWE) is a unique venture which focuses on helping women either start an enterprise of their own or further their existing businesses; it provides a resource and network of women entrepreneurs, who make a business plan for an enterprise.
Since the summer of 2004, this program has been running successfully with an average of 60 women from different backgrounds. This year, the MPWE, in association with the Nadathur S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL), will begin on April 15 and continue till May 27, including a two-week gap, in which the business plans are made.
Other than that, the program comprises 90 per cent classroom time, with about 80 sessions covering different subjects of relevance to entrepreneurs, including Entrepreneurial Orientation, Business Planning, Economic Environment, Business Economics, Industry Analysis, Business Strategy and Product Development.
