Bengaluru: Furthering the spirit of entrepreneurial innovation, the Indian School of Business (ISB) welcomed the founding batch for I-Venture Immersive (ivi), which is a six-month, full-time, on-campus programme designed to nurture aspiring entrepreneurs.
The programme also guides entrepreneurs from the discovery of ideas to building scalable ventures, the institute said in a press release.
Marking the occasion, Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State, Ministry of Education, Government of India; Madan Pillutla, Dean, ISB and Bhagwan Chowdhry, Faculty Director, I-Venture @ ISB, unveiled a state-of-the-art classroom, specifically designed for the ivi programme.
The newly inaugurated classroom, designed as a centre for innovation and collaboration, will serve as a hub for creative thinking and hands-on learning.
Speaking at the event, Chaudhary praised ISB’s efforts to nurture entrepreneurial talent in India. He highlighted the diversity of the cohort, noting that more than 40 per cent of the class are women, and wished the entrepreneurs great success in their ventures.
“This programme will empower aspiring entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into reality, further strengthening the country’s startup ecosystem,” he said.
The six-month immersive experience – billed as ‘more than an incubator, more than a school’ – will be conducted full-time at the Hyderabad campus of ISB, offering budding entrepreneurs transformative support and funding opportunities to bring their innovative ideas to life.
The founding class of 51 entrepreneurs, comprising 22 females and 29 males, officially joined the programme on October 3, 2024.
