MIZORAM KAILAWN 2018: Boot Camp (13 – 16 June,2018)
40 Finalists of Mizoram Kailawn
2018 take part in the Boot Camp/Training program hosted at the State Institute
of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj (SIRD&PR). The Bootcamp has been
famously termed as a ‘Mini-MBA’ by the first cohort of Kailawn finalists. The
four day residential program is indeed packed with rigorous sessions by IIMCIP
mentors covering business presentation pitches, financial projections, idea
valuation and other aspects required of a viable business. The Top 40 finalists
were expected to apply their learnings and present their business plans to the
evaluators. Top 20 Finalists were then shortlisted at the close of the Boot
Camp and were asked to give their final presentations on 19 June 2018.
IIM Calcutta Innovation Park shortlisted 40 Finalists to take part in the Boot Camp/Training programme hosted at the Tourist Lodge in Chaltlang, Aizawl. Given that evaluators conduct a blind evaluation of the applications, it is truly remarkable that there was representation from all districts among the Top 40 Finalists. Women founders/entrepreneurs represented 32.5% (13 women) of the Finalists selected to participate in the Boot Camp/Training.
True to the inclusive nature of Mizoram Kailawn, the Top 40 Finalist business plans covered a range of sectors, whether at idea stage or start-up phase. Business plans spanned all sectors including Agriculture and Allied, Manufacturing, Service Industry, Food and Beverage, Handicrafts, Food Processing, and Information Technology amongst others. The finalists selected spanned in age as well, where the youngest was 20 years old and the most senior finalist was 65 years old. The four-day residential Boot Camp was packed with rigorous sessions by IIMCIP Mentors who covered sessions on business presentation pitches, financial projections, idea valuation and other aspects required of a viable business. Mentors from IIMCIP included Dr. Subhrangshu Sanyal, CEO IIMCIP; Gaurav Kapoor, Head of Social Entrepreneurship, IIMCIP; Professor Chandradeep Mitra, Mentor, IIMCIP; Suman Mukhopadhyay, Mentor, IIMCIP; Devashish Gupta, Mentor, IIMCIP; and Debapratim Das, Mentor, IIMCIP.
