Testimonials

 The pre-incubation Program was a great course It taught us the methodology of entrepreneurship and highlighted importance of team work. The masterclasses were top quality and very informative and so were the guest sessions. The one to one mentoring sessions helped to boost our morale. The milestones and quizzes were good exercises to test and apply the knowledge which we have acquired over 3 months of Learning. I find myself very fortunate to be a part of this and thank you all whole heartedly for providing this great opportunity for learning.

Dr. Praveen Ghadge

 It’s an amazing ten weeks course to kickstart the entrepreneurial journey. It has helped me shape my idea and convert it into a product. Thanks to the master classes/guest lectures. I’m glad to be a part of it.

The course really gave a structured framework to critically assess worthiness of my idea from different perspectives. The course also gave a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with other wannabe entrepreneurs through the practice venture exercises and group discussions. Overall, I am extremely happy with what I got back from the course and would recommend this to anyone who is unsure as to whether they are in a position to start up or not, or would like to evaluate their ideas methodically. A big kudos to the IIMU team for having designed and offered this course.

We understand how tricky it is to commit to recurring meetings when life is so busy. However, one of the most encouraging pieces of feedback we receive from entrepreneurs is that our programmes allow them to take a step back, to work on the business rather than in it. Therefore, we ask that participants attend at least 75% of all workshops and events.

The programme will be delivered through hybrid mode with 5 days of in-classroom workshops at IIM Udaipur Campus in August. The mentoring sessions and expert interactions will be held virtually. The final demo day bootcamp will be held either online or in-person at IIM Udaipur during the month of November.

Travel and lodging expenses for the 5-day workshops and demo day at IIM Udaipur campus shall be borne by the woman founder / co-founder or director (C-level) of the company who will be attending the in-person session at Udaipur.

Yes, there will be an in-person demo day where we invite our whole network of investors. What is more, there are also further opportunities to present your startup to our industry partners for strategic partnerships.

No. Our programmes provide support to entrepreneurs, but we don’t take any equity or stake in your business.

Yes, the selected Startup needs to pay a fee of ₹40,000 in the case of acceptance. Each Startup accepted into the program shall receive a cash grant of ₹50,000 upon successful completion of the program. Travel and lodging expenses shall be borne by the woman founder/co-founder or director (C-level) of the company who will be attending the in-person session at Udaipur.
