IIMV FIELD

Commenting on the award, IIM Vizag director Prof M Chandrasekhar said that their special focus at IIM
Visakhapatnam is to nurture and support women in creating innovative solutions for businesses, government,
and ultimately for the societal good. “IIMV Field is a result of such thought leadership. Accordingly, in our
own modest way, we are giving flight to the dreams of the (aspiring) women-entrepreneurs by building
their capacities. IIMV FIELD is providing them with funding for proof-of-concept and proto-typing, access
to the incubation facilities, and knowledge resources, mentoring and hand-holding support, networking
with industry and investors, and opportunities to showcase their technologies and products on a variety of

promotional platforms. The award given by the PRSI is a testimony to the efforts of IIMV FIELD in maximising
and leveraging the potential contribution of women entrepreneurs to the society and economy,” said Prof
Chandrasekhar.
IIMV FIELD has incubated over 90 women-led startups under various programmes since its inception.
