Hyderabad: The Indian School of Business (ISB) here on Friday welcomed the founding batch for I-Venture Immersive (ivi), a six-month, full-time, on-campus programme designed to nurture aspiring entrepreneurs and guiding them from the discovery of ideas to building scalable ventures.
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Chaudhary, along with ISB Dean Prof. Madan Pillutla, unveiled a state-of-the-art classroom for the ivi programme.
The classroom, designed as a centre for innovation and collaboration, will serve as a hub for creative thinking and hands-on learning.
Chaudhary highlighted the diversity of the cohort, noting that more than 40 per cent of the class were women. “This programme will empower aspiring entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into reality, further strengthening the country’s start-up 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 ISB’s Hyderabad campus, offering budding entrepreneurs support and funding opportunities to bring their innovative ideas to life.
