Eight early-stage entities have been selected by IIM Bangalore’s NS Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) under the social ventures programme for incubation over the next 18 months. They have been inducted in the presence of IIMB faculty, mentors and NSRCEL members.

Rajiv Sawhney, Chief Operating Officer, NSRCEL, said, “A review system will be in place for periodic intervention to monitor progress. Access to online platforms will help boost interaction with a larger community.”

The entrepreneurship and innovation hub of IIM Bangalore – NSRCEL – launched its social ventures incubator in April to nurture early-stage, non-profit organizations.

Through this initiative, NSRCEL Social aims to address the lack of an effective support system for early-stage NGOs.
