The incubated start-ups are taken through a rigorous course-work of about 10 weeks wherein we are training them with various facets of entrepreneurship. As part of this course-work, we have invited Ms. Sevantika Bhandari to take a workshop on Entrepreneurship.

She has worked as Chief Marketing Officer for DHFL, Max Bupa Health Insurance and ICICI Bank – International Banking division.
