Approximately 25 women professionals and entrepreneurs, with a minimum of two years of work experience, will be part of the three-month hybrid program with weekly sessions. Successful participants will receive certification from BRICS CCI.

The program, starting in December 2023, will be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Applicants will be charged an introductory fee of $120. Among the mentors in the program are Kalpana Sharma (Former Additional Secretary, Lok Sabha, Parliament of India), Dr. Aisha Bin Bishr (Director General of Smart Dubai Office), Nicole Nguyen (Co-founder of APAC DAO, Vietnam), Jenny Chen (Founder & CEO, A&J Consulting International), Noopur Jhunjhunwala (Trustee & Co-founder, Changeinkk), Nidhi Goyal (Managing Partner- Avinav Consulting), and more.

It aims to offer participants access to world-class mentorship, training, and resources. We invite aspiring women leaders to join us on this empowering journey of growth, knowledge, and inspiration.”

The program assumes significance in the context of the government’s vision to boost women entrepreneurship.
