The Indian School of Business (ISB) has launched a unique programme tailored for upcoming and promising entrepreneurs, called I-Venture Immersive or 'ivi'.
Administered by the school’s entrepreneurship arm, I-Venture@ISB, the programme encourages keen innovators from across the country to pursue their passion with or without any formal educational qualification beyond Class 12.
For the first cohort, which will begin in October, the first round of admission for "ivi" is currently underway. Described as "more than an incubator, more than a school," the six-month immersion program will be offered full-time on the ISB campus in Hyderabad. In addition to offering transformative support to aspiring entrepreneurs, "ivi" will finance promising cohort members to realize their creative ideas.
Professor Bhagwan Chowdhry, Faculty Director, I-Venture@ISB, explained, “Through ‘ivi’, ISB will foster a vibrant ecosystem that nurtures creativity, attracts investment, and empowers visionary leaders, all crucial elements for unlocking India's entrepreneurial potential. Our pursuit is to empower individuals from all walks of life to follow their entrepreneurial aspirations, and we are focused beyond the usual big cities, with an inclusive focus on all tiers and towns.”
The curriculum is made to appeal to a wide range of future innovators: tech professionals looking to incorporate entrepreneurial ideas into their work; next-generation family business owners eager to embark on projects beyond their legacies; and recent graduates eager to start disruptive startups.
