Catalyzing Sustainable Growth for Women Entrepreneurs

Deadline: 6th March, 2024

About the Program

I-Venture @ ISB’s Women of Innovation Program aims to provide acceleration support to women-founded/co-founded start-ups by handholding entrepreneurs through their scaling-up journey.

The entrepreneurial landscape, while opening its doors to more women, still grapples with an enduring gender gap, therefore hindering India’s $5 trillion economy goal by 2025. Women founders encounter barriers like limited access to funding and inadequate mentorship. We aim to break these constraints, viewing women as catalysts for innovation and inclusive growth. Empowering women isn’t just about equality; it’s unlocking India’s full potential. 

I-WIN 3.0 a sector agnostic program that stands as a bridge, offering tailored support through comprehensive need assessments, targeted resources, and expert mentorship. This empowers women-led businesses to scale confidently, fostering inclusive growth, fueling GDP, and generating job opportunities.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Women-founder or co-founder: Holds a key decision-making position in senior leadership or has a major shareholding in the startup.
