Hyderabad: The Indian School of Business (ISB) on Monday announced the launch of Goldman Sachs pioneered management programme for women entrepreneurs to accelerate the country’s economic progress.
Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women is a global initiative to fosters economic growth by providing women entrepreneurs around the world with a business and management education, mentoring, networking, and access to capital.
The management programme has been jointly developed by ISB and Goldman Sachs, known as ‘Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Ambassadors Programme’.
Why the programme is important in India…
A 2018 report by McKinsey indicates that India has one of the largest opportunities in the world to boost GDP by advancing women’s equality, which would lead to $770 billion of added GDP by 2025. The current female contribution to India’s GDP is 18 per cent, one of the lowest proportions in the world.

The programme will begin on November 17, 2019, at ISB’s Mohali campus. It will be taught by ISB faculty and industry specialists and will consist of two residencies over three months.
The advanced course is specifically designed to fast-track high-potential business owners through a curated curriculum that focuses on business expansion and organisational growth strategies, leveraging finance for growth, and harnessing the power of digital marketing through customer analytics, an ISB statement said.
