IEF Entrepreneurship Foundation is a collaborative effort of those who believe in the very spirit of entrepreneurship. To grow wings, thereby diminishing the need for crutches for every entrepreneur who has taken the plunge.
Through its efforts, IEF helps create an alternative narrative of self-sustenance. It is an ecosystem that consists of the entrepreneurs that take our masterclasses,faculty and mentors who volunteer their time, partners from within as well as outside the government framework, education institutes, media publications and funding and investment community.
In addition to IEF board members volunteering their time as faculty, IEF continually seeks expertise and time of entrepreneurs and management professionals for our MasterClasses.
IEF’s Faculty go beyond the order of imparting necessary skills and domain knowledge as part of our MasterClasses. They also mentor our entrepreneur members to grow their enterprises. If you are interested in volunteering your time as our faculty, please write to us at: masterclass@ief.in
