Announcing Launch of “TiE Scaleup Mentoring Plan for Women Entrepreneurs

Women form an important segment of the labour force and the economic role-played by them cannot be isolated from the frame work of development. The role of women as business owners is gradually increasing all over the world. Women Entrepreneurship is the key to Women Empowerment, Gender Balance and alleviating economic marginalisation of Women.
