NSRCEL Women Startup Program (Cohort 6)
Run by NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore and powered by Kotak BizLabs, the Women Startup Program supports women entrepreneurs over a two-year journey. It starts with a five-week online foundations stage and a two-month online pre-incubation phase. Ventures with early revenue then move to an eight-month hybrid incubation. Applications are open for the entry-level Entrepreneurship Base Program, and incubation applications open later. NSRCEL takes no equity.
