Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) Centre for Family Business & Entrepreneurship (CFBE) invites applications for its Ladies in Family Enterprise (LiFE) programme. LiFE is an enriching short-term programme which seeks to nurture and empower women from business families with little or no experience in the business currently. They can be related to owner/s either as wives, daughters-in-law, mothers or daughters.
LiFE is a four-month programme where sessions are conducted twice a week in a hybrid mode (both offline/online). It aims to build a basic understanding of the business and the family, and the inter-relationship between the two. It also helps women to explore their own role in the family business or start a new entrepreneurial venture supported by family and networks. Sessions are led by experienced academicians, industry experts and alumni. The flexible programme structure allows participants to integrate it into their daily routines perfectly.
On successful completion of the programme, the participants shall be awarded the ‘Certificate of Participation’ from SPJIMR, recognised by the Financial Times Master in Management Ranking 2023 as India’s number 1 business school.
In a message to aspirants, Prof. Tulsi Jayakumar, Executive Director, CFBE, and Chairperson, Post Graduate Programme in Family Managed Business (PGPFMB), said, “90 per cent of businesses in India are family businesses. Women from business families play a silent role and constitute silent assets. LiFE seeks to realise the hidden gems among business families by providing structured learning about business and its various dimensions. The end goal of the programme is to build knowledge and skills needed to run a business and also to build confidence and empower women in business families.”
Since 1997, SPJIMR’s CFBE has pioneered formal learning for family businesses with its 18-month PGPFMB. The programme aims to nurture and develop talent within Indian family businesses, and has helped over 4,000 family enterprises with its unique pedagogy focused on next-generation leaders. CFBE provides a platform for networking, learning and growth, helping family-run businesses to thrive by offering access to best practices and cutting-edge knowledge.
