Young Entrepreneurs Programme

Entrepreneurs have the potential to create immense social and economic value for a country.  However, an entrepreneur's journey is not without struggles – at both personal and professional levels. The Young Entrepreneurs Programme (YEP) aims to prepare young entrepreneurs to address and overcome these struggles.

This programme is intended for young entrepreneurs who want to improve their personal leadership qualities and the organizational and financial performance of their firms as they launch and grow high impact businesses.

Major Strengths:

• Opportunity to learn from IIMA faculty with deep research and teaching expertise related to entrepreneurship, leadership, strategy formulation and implementation.
• The structure of the programme— two modules that are one month apart— will afford participants the opportunity to reflect on their learnings of the first module, apply them in their business context and share their experiences with the same cohort in the second module and build further on their learning.
• A strong cohort of participants who are young entrepreneurs from various industries who will share insights drawn on their experiences.
• Relevant cases and readings that provide a deep understanding of the strategic, operational, and leadership challenges involved in launching and growing entrepreneurial ventures and small-medium and family-owned businesses.
• Focus on decision-making and action that enables content to be implemented by participants to enable them to become effective entrepreneurial leaders and general managers of high growth/high impact firms.
• Analytics and tools needed to become a successful entrepreneurial leader and general manager.
• Interactions with young and successful entrepreneurs.
• Annual reunions at IIMA campus for all the batches of YEP.
