The National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD) has organised a digital conclave on holistic empowerment of women through entrepreneurship. The digital conclave Women Empowerment through Entrepreneurship: The Changing Landscape recognised women entrepreneurs whose innovative approach and ideas have brought about a promising change in the business and entrepreneurship ecosystem in India.
The event provided a platform to budding women entrepreneurs to share their success stories, learn from policymakers and discuss resources for ventures. The conclave was organised in association with the Indo-German Development Cooperation Project—Economic Empowerment of Women Entrepreneurs and Startups by Women (Project Her&Now)—and jointly implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Reiterating that participation of women in entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the socioeconomic transformation of a nation, Anuradha Vemuri, Director General NIESBUD and Joint Secretary MSDE, stated, “Our schemes towards skill training and promoting entrepreneurship are aimed at achieving the purpose of harnessing the youth.”
