The Indian Institute of Management Kashipur has launched a new entrepreneurship training programme for students and budding entrepreneurs.
The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kashipur has inaugurated an entrepreneurship training programme aimed at nurturing start‑up ideas among its students and local aspiring entrepreneurs. The curriculum, designed by the institute’s faculty, includes workshops on business model development, financial planning, and market validation. Participants will also receive mentorship from industry experts and access to IIM Kashipur’s incubation facilities.
The initiative aligns with the institute’s broader goal of fostering an entrepreneurial ecosystem in Uttarakhand, a state seeking to boost job creation through innovation. The training sessions are scheduled to run over several weeks, concluding with a pitch‑day where participants can present their ventures to potential investors.
IIM Kashipur’s director highlighted that the programme reflects the growing demand for structured entrepreneurship education in India’s higher‑learning institutions. The institute expects the first batch to generate viable start‑ups that can contribute to the regional economy.
