‘Learn, Grow and Rise’
It was a wonderful experience to join the IIMB entrepreneurship course. The pain stroming session and lean canvas brain storming session is a key take away from the course. The learning which will help budding entrepreneurs to create, build, develop and grow as an individual professionally and personally.
Shoutout to the NCW and IIMBx for making it possible and giving us opportunity to lead and rise.

"The ‘Do Your Venture’ program delivered by IIM-Bangalore has strengthened my entrepreneurial confidence to take my business to the next level. The course has prepared me for real life situations by providing interesting and relevant course material, entrepreneur stories and practical tasks. Most importantly it has given us a lot of food for thought that can really set you on a success course. I look forward to the next steps with the India SME Forum. In the end I would like to thank the National Commission for Women for bringing this around as this initiative will not only transform the lives of women entrepreneurs but also positively impact the society as a whole."

"Empowerment" seems so usual that it takes a team like IIM-B, NCW and SME Forum to make it unusual that the word actually MEANS what it means and is put in to action. "Do Your Venture" is not a MOOC for earning a certificate. It is a yearning for freedom! A pathway where ideas in mind get shaped and get real, unfolding every week with every module.
Clear videos from the Professor, weekly assessments, discussion forums, webinars (Ask me anything with Prof Suresh Bhagavatula, Breaking the Glass Ceiling), the constant support from the IIM-B team (from assignment deadline reminders to lean canvas submission), virtual office hours, prompt replies to emails and WhatsApp queries, the thinktank adorned valedictory... everything made it a real experience and not some remote program.
The excitement to get on to classroom and assessments and applying it in real world is something I enjoyed during the whole course and nourish for the rest of my life.
Thank the entire team who spearheaded this course and background heroes/heroines who made all this possible.”

“I came from Korea to start a new business in India. I wanted to know Indian business, culture, technology and the thoughts of its leaders, but reading books and articles was not enough to quench my thirst. Through IIMBX’s Certificate Program in Technology and Management (CTM), I could overcome the limitations of time and place to take classes, and campus sessions gave me the opportunity to dive into Indian society actively. Most of all, it is an unforgettable experience to discuss and study in a classroom with Indian experts from various fields.”

“After serving in the defence forces for 20 years, and having experience both in operations and technology, CTM programme came as a perfect match to learn the nuances of the same, in the industry. The biggest highlight is the unique blend of technology and management, wherein the heavy weights of the education industry, IIMB and IITM are your mentors. The subjects are covered with such clarity and detail, that no matter which academic background one comes from, the learning is both satisfying and rewarding. This is possible due to the world class faculty, a thorough professional team and a stiff course schedule which is demanding, to say the least. I enjoyed my journey being a student once again and am sure that this programme will further refine and grow to its complete strength.”
