Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation Batch 07

IIM Kozhikode’s Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation (Batch 07) programme is designed for bold thinkers, risk-takers, and visionaries ready to turn ideas into reality. Whether you aspire to launch a disruptive startup, acquire a thriving business, or break into franchising, this programme equips you with the strategic acumen and practical expertise to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship.

Going beyond conventional learning, the curriculum blends cutting-edge theory with real-world case studies, immersive simulations, and interdisciplinary insights spanning law, finance, operations, and technology. Participants will uncover their unique entrepreneurial strengths, refine their decision-making skills, and master the art of resource mobilisation to drive their ventures forward.

Through high-impact web-based simulations, participants will sharpen their ability to evaluate opportunities, outmaneuver competitors, and secure funding. The journey culminates in crafting a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) strategy, designed to not just gain market traction but to create a business built for enduring success.

This programme will help you to validate the potentiality of the problem/idea which you are working on. You will also get proper idea on the business opportunity, sustainability and scalability of the venture. Apart from this inputs will be given to make your venture a successful one.

The panel will examine the idea and the business model presented by the startup, based on that the panel will help them to validate their business idea & opportunity, reshape their business model and advice them to make their venture successful. The advice or suggestions of the panel are only recommendatory nature.

First of all the panellists are Industry experts who are willing to support the startups to make their venture successful rather than external experts who run their business parallelly secondly panellist will not explore how the solution/product is created, what technology and techniques are being used in its making etc. The entire intention of the programme is to help the startup identify right problem with right solution with a scalable and sustainable business model that make the venture successful.
