The program will run for ten weeks, starting from the week of January 3rd, 2021. It will provide a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs to work on their ideas.

Additionally, they will also develop intrapreneurship skills, and get them started on the venture journey.
On this development, Suresh Dhaka, COO, IIMU IC said, “At IIM Udaipur, entrepreneurship is one of the key building blocks. We endeavour to have a positive impact on the world of business through our curriculum efforts on entrepreneurship. We want to foster innovation and create a socially responsible impact.”
