WHAT WE OFFER
This FULLY FUNDED program seeks to provide an inaugural class of 40 women social entrepreneurs across India with the leadership and management skills that will result in scaling their businesses. It will also facilitate the creation of a formal network, currently called the Indian Women Social Entrepreneurs Network (IWSEN), of which the first class will be the founding members. The IWSEN will help members support each other and build a community of women social entrepreneurs across India.
WHY
Only 25 per cent of social enterprises in India are led by women. Women entrepreneurs are often subject to discrimination from their families, communities, and investors when compared to male peers. This issue is even more acute for women because social entrepreneurship can be stigmatized as being unprofitable.
As a result, women-led social enterprises in India will benefit from the establishment of a formalized, cohesive network that would provide access to information, capital, mentorship, and other opportunities that are currently lacking in both social and commercial enterprises.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Once selected into the program, you can look forward to 8 days of training split across 2 workshops in 2020 along with online coaching support and check-ins on progress.
The second workshop will coincide with the official launch of the Indian Women Social Entrepreneur Network. In addition, there will be a host of activities related to building a community of support and strengthening peer relationships between participants.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The program will consist of multiple touch-points, both online and offline, curated for the 40 women social entrepreneurs selected for this project.
Broad themes include:
- Leadership Skills – Focus on leading self, leading others and leading a business (all with the lens of a woman social entrepreneur).
- Trends & Challenges in the emerging world of work and how to prepare for this.
- Sustaining an authentic and collaborative network of women leaders across India.
The program approach focuses on knowledge, tools and frameworks that can be immediately and practically applied. You will leave with the right combination of skills to thrive within the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
