Management Program for Women Entrepreneurs 2009
In an effort to encourage, empower and educate potential women entrepreneurs to create their own business or social enterprise, as well as enable women entrepreneurs to grow their existing enterprise, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) in association with the Nadathur S.

This unique program coordinated by IIMB faculty and held every summer since 2004 requires participants to prepare a business plan for their proposed or existing business or social enterprise. Many participants of previous programs have taken their business plan forward to start new enterprises or have initiated growth in their ongoing enterprise. This program is specifically designed for women entrepreneurs and is focused on enabling them to identify viable business opportunities and develop a viable and sustainable plan for their proposed enterprise. All participants who attend a minimum of 90% of the scheduled classroom sessions, present their Business Plan to the group in class, and submit a copy of their Business Plan for evaluation, will receive a certificate of program completion from IIMB. First and second prizes with certificates will also be awarded for the presented business plans that are judged as best.
