Raghavan Center for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) will conduct a Management Program for Women Entrepreneurs at the IIMB campus from April 16 to May 30, 2007, coordinated by IIMB faculty. This unique program held every summer since
2004 requires participants to prepare a business plan for their proposed enterprise. Many participants of previous programs have taken their business plan forward and started new enterprises or have enabled the growth of their ongoing enterprise. This program is specifically designed for women entrepreneurs who are interested in starting their first business enterprise and focuses on enabling them to identify viable business opportunities and develop a business plan for their proposed enterprise.
