We have also collaborated with Svakarma on some such programs, for example, on events relating to women entrepreneurs, and Paithani weavers.
Udyogwardhini’s faculty and associates all have entrepreneurial experience themselves, enabling them to give practical advice. Entrepreneurs seeking advice or guidance can also speak with our faculty for one-on-one business counselling. We are happy to extend our support to Svakarma’s micro-enterprise customers as well.
In addition, for new entrepreneurs, Udyogwardhini hosts ‘start-up camps’, which are courses over multiple weeks providing detailed practical information on specific topics such as food sector, export-import business, etc. Udyogwardhini mentors provide individual guidance and support until the business is established and operational.
