IIM Kozhikode and MRPL join hands to support women entrepreneurs

IIM Kozhikode and the oil PSU Mangalore Refineries and Petrochemicals Ltd has announced a special drive to support women entrepreneurs in the country.

The initiative, labelled as La Eve (meaning The Woman), aims to identify innovative, promising women founded start-ups in order to provide a comprehensive support programme.

The initiative will be steered by IIMK Live, the institute’s entrepreneurship development centre called Laboratory for Innovation, Venturing and Entrepreneurship, with the support of the start-up fund of MRPL. Last year MRPL had entered into an MoU with the institute and since then it has provided seed funds to over 11 start-ups incubated at IIMK Live.
